Integration of Forecasting, Scheduling, Machine Learning, and Efficiency Improvement Methods into the Sport Management Industry

Sport management is a complicated and economically impactful industry and involves many crucial decisions: such as which players to retain or release, how many concession vendors to add, how many fans to expect, what teams to schedule, and many others are made each offseason and changed frequently. The task of making such decisions effectively is difficult, but the process can be made easier using methods of industrial and systems engineering (ISE). Integrating methods such as forecasting, scheduling, machine learning, and efficiency improvement from ISE can be revolutionary in helping sports organizations and franchises be consistently successful. Research shows areas including player evaluation, analytics, fan attendance, stadium design, accurate scheduling, play prediction, player development, prevention of cheating, and others can be improved when ISE methods are used to target inefficient or wasteful areas

An introduction to the BANNING design automation system for shuttle microelectronic hardware development

The BANNING MOS design system is presented. It complements rather than supplant the normal design activities associated with the design and fabrication of low-power digital electronic equipment. BANNING is user-oriented and requires no programming experience to use effectively. It provides the user a simulation capability to aid in his circuit design and it eliminates most of the manual operations involved in the layout and artwork generation of integrated circuits. An example of its operation is given and some additional background reading is provided

The bricolage of a myth: re-reading Derrida reading Lévi-Strauss fifty years after

Of all the presentations at the 1966 symposium ‘The Languages of Criticism and the Sciences of Man’, none have been so thoroughly mythologized as Jacques Derrida’s reading of Claude Lévi-Strauss in ‘Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourses of the Human Sciences’. With this paper, Derrida was said to have unseated Lévi-Strauss from his privileged position in ethnology, prefiguring a more thorough critique that would appear later in Of Grammatology. However, looking past the now-hegemonic memory of these critiques reveals more nuanced and problematic operations in both writers’ work than the popular histories allow for. By reconsidering Derrida’s readings with a closer attention to Lévi-Strauss’s writing, augmented by an alternate perspective offered by Audre Lorde, one can begin to unravel the texts in question from the myths that have grown around them in order to better understand the role of ethnocentrism and self-criticism in the work of both thinkers

Martian Mother

This paper examines the relationship between humans and land, through the lens of the scientific and religious, bridging the physical realm with the spiritual. It acts as accompanying material to the project titled Martian Mother, supplementary information to the visual work, and an extension of the proposal, the center of the work. The proposal exists to send myself, or a like-minded individual, to Mars with artificial insemination equipment to give birth to the first Martian, becoming the first Martian Mother. This work is rooted firmly in speculative fiction, creating a nonlinear future framework for a new society and space exploration

Anthony S. Noonan IRA, LLC v. U.S. Bank, 136 Nev. Adv. Op. 41 (July 9, 2020)

In an opinion drafted by Justice Silver, the Nevada Supreme Court considered whether a Homeowner’s Association (“HOA”) lien under NRS. § 116.3116 can include the entire amount of a yearly assessment as a superpriority debt. The Court concluded that a yearly assessment that became due in the nine months preceding the HOA’s notice of delinquent assessments is entitled to superpriority status in its entirety

Lathigee v. British Columbia Securities Commission, 136 Nev. Adv. Op. 79 (Dec. 10, 2020)

In an opinion drafted by Justice Pickering, the Nevada Supreme Court considered whether the disgorgement portion of a securities-fraud judgment from British Columbia could be enforced in Nevada. The Court concluded that disgorgement judgments that serve as restitution do not constitute a penalty or fine under NRS 17.740(2)(b), and that the Canadian judgment was properly recognized by the district court under principles of comity
