Undermining Progress in Early 20th Century North Carolina: General Attitudes Towards Delinquent African American Girls

This article examines efforts made to challenge progress towards adequate service provision for delinquent African American girls in early 20th century North Carolina. This article seeks to explore the nuances of aid, from the African American community and by progressive whites, as it relates to legislative efforts, economic backing and public health issues. It also seeks to examine motivations for engaging in undermining activities

An Experimental Study Of Axisymmetric Cavity Oscillations In Low Speed Incompressible Flow

This study is the latest increment of an ongoing research effort at the University of Tennessee Space Institute with the goal of accomplishing a greater understanding of cavity instabilities and or making use of the instabilities to amplify their effects on the flows. An experimental procedure was designed to examine the unsteady pressure pulses that occur when an incompressible fluid (water) flows through an axisymmetric cavity. The length to depth ratios (L/D) examined ranged from about 0.69 to about 6.2, and the average flow Reynolds numbers ranged from 0 to 1.2 million. Results show that large amplitude oscillations are generated in the cavity for specific length to depth ratios for a given flow rate. The peak amplitude of the oscillations was studied to determine the origins of the oscillations. As the length to depth ratio increases the maximum amplitude decreases, but the frequency of the maximum amplitude is greatest at a length to depth ratio of approximately 0.85. As the flow rate decreases, the value of the maximum amplitude and its frequency decreases. A few possible explanations for the cause of such oscillations are explored. For short length to depth ratios (L/D\u3c0.9), the cavity seems to behave as a Helmholtz Resonator. The cavity has a behavior analogous to Rossiter’s Empirical observations at approximate length to depth ratios greater than 0.9. As the length to depth ratio increases beyond a value of approximately 3.6, the peak oscillations disappear and the cavity does not influence the flow significantly

SPEED, STRENGTH & POWER CHARACTERISITCS OF HORIZONTAL JUMPERS

It is well established that approach speed on the long and triple jump runways is the single-most important determinant of performance across a wide range of ability levels (Hay, 1986; Hay, 1992). However, the relationship between speed and jump distance decreases when the range of performances is reduced. At an elite level speed is regarded as a pre-requisite, the differentiating factor between performances relates more to how well athlete control their speed when they make contact with the take-off board (and subsequent take-offs in the triple jump). In the take-off athletes typically experience vertical impact forces in the range of 7.9 to 12.6 x BW (Ramey and Williams, 1985), with ground contact times ranging from 120 to 180 ms (the higher values relating to the step and jump take-offs). It is therefore imperative that horizontal jumpers are conditioned appropriately to accept such high loading forces, be powerful and reactive, in order to generate vertical speed in such a small timescale. Graham-Smith and Lees (2002) suggested that performance is made up of three main interacting factors; speed, strength and technique (with power being a derivative of speed and strength). They added that optimal performance can only be achieved when all three factors are in ‘balance’. The aim of this study was to develop a battery of tests to monitor speed, strength and power for horizontal jumpers in as functional a way as possible. The relationship between strength and power variables with speed and controlled functional performance was also investigated

WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO BREAK THE WORLD RECORD IN THE MEN’S TRIPLE JUMP

The purpose of this study was to bring together 30 years of athlete support and applied research into the horizontal jumps and develop a strategy for an elite athlete to challenge the World Record which has stood for over 27 years. Data on an elite triple jumper who has jumped over 18m was collected in a Diamond League competition and in training. Approach speed, phase distances, technical analysis and anthropometrical data were utilised to develop an interactive 7 segment model from which a new World Record was reconstructed. This study demonstrates a process of how to utilise biomechanical data and implement it into a high-performance setting, providing the coach with clear, objective and meaningful data from which they can set criteria to assist in developing performance

The First and the Last: A Confluence of Factors Leading to the Integration of Carver School of Missions and Social Work, 1955

The Carver School of Missions and Social Work, affiliated with the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, was an all-female social work program that eventually became the first seminary-affiliated social work program accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. This article examines Carver\u27s efforts towards racial integration during the late 1950s, which was a time of heightened racial tensions across the United States. This article is informed by a series of oral histories of the two African American women who integrated Carver in 1955

CURVED RUNNING IN SOCCER: KINEMATIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE LIMBS

Research on curved running has focussed on track running, using radii not applicable to common movements in many sports. The nature and function of the inside and outside limbs movement remains undocumented in the literature. Common radii of curved runs and typical movement speeds were noted from English Premier League soccer. Eight male soccer players ran at three speeds (3.5 m/s, 4.5 m/s, 5.4 m/s) during straight (0m), and along a curve of radius 3.5m on natural turf. Three dimensional kinematic data was collected using Peak Motus software at 50 Hz. During curved running results indicated reduced range of motion at the outside and inside ankle and knee, but greater hip joint range evident at the inside compared to the outside leg, with emphasis at higher speed. Greater hip flexion positions the centre of mass to allow body lean to complete the curve
