Precision and accuracy of acoustic gunshot location in an urban environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The muzzle blast caused by the discharge of a firearm generates a loud, impulsive sound that propagates away from the shooter in all directions. The location of the source can be computed from time-of-arrival measurements of the muzzle blast on multiple acoustic sensors at known locations, a technique known as multilateration.

Impulsive Sound Detection by a Novel Energy Formula and its Usage for Gunshot Recognition [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 There are many methods proposed for the detection of impulsive sounds in literature. Most of them are complex and require adaptation to ambient noise. In this paper we propose a very simple and efficient method to detect impulsive sounds. Although we use energy like most of the others to determine impulsive sounds, the way we calculate the energy is ...

Injury risk increases minimally over a large range of changes in activity level in children [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Background: Limited research exists on the association between changes in physical activity levels and injury in children. Objective: To assess how well different variations of the acute:chronic workload ratio (ACWR), a measure of change in activity, predict injury in children.

New Universal Theory of Injury Prediction and Prevention [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury, spinal injury and general musculo-skeletal injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. Recently, in a series of papers, I have proposed a new coupled loading-rate hypothesis as a unique cause of all above injuries.

NFL Injuries Before and After the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The National Football League's (NFL) 2011 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players placed a number of contact and quantity limitations on practices and workouts. Some coaches and others have expressed a concern that this has led to poor conditioning and a subsequent increase in injuries. We sought to assess whether the 2011 CBA's practice
