Procedia Engineering, 2016 In off-spin bowling (finger-spin delivery with a sidespin, right-handed bowler), the ball rolls over the middle finger and rotates counterclockwise, as seen by the batsman. It is therefore expected that the torque imparted onto the ball is generated by the middle finger and the centre of pressure (COP) is also located close to the middle finger.

Delipidisation of wool fibres and the subsequent beneficial properties of delipidised wool fibres
Coloration Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Wool fibres are complex matrices of proteins and fatty acids/lipids found both internally and externally. 18‐methyleicosanoic acid (18‐MEA) is covalently bound to the surface of the fibre via a thio‐ester link, and is considered one of the most important lipids as it is responsible for the hydrophobic properties of wool fibres.
