Mathematical description of deviation mechanisms positions of track chassis in motion with variable ground resistance by Goncharov K.A.

“…Depending on the type of selected law of change in the coefficient of resistance to ground movement over time, the results of decompensation of uneven movement of the tracks are shown, independent of the additional resistance arising from the lateral cut of the ground layer during instantaneous rotations of the chassis, characteristic of mechanisms with a separate drive of each track circuit.…”

The Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) relative age solutions project—part two: an adapted e-Delphi study by Adam Leigh Kelly, Frederike Zwenk, David Mann, Jan Verbeek, Jan Verbeek

“…Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate these solutions to overcome RAEs in youth soccer using a two-round adapted e-Delphi study.MethodsFifteen international experts, including both researchers and practitioners, rated (out of 9) each solution on how likely it is to directly and indirectly mitigate RAEs (Round 1) and how feasible it is to implement (Round 2).ResultsFindings indicated that “rotating cut-off dates” was perceived as the most effective solution to mitigate direct and indirect RAEs (6.2 ± 1.6), although it was not rated particularly feasible (4.6 ± 2.5). …”
