Athletic Shoulder Test Differences Exist Bilaterally in Healthy Pitchers by Aaron Trunt, Brandon T. Fisher, Lisa N. MacFadden

“… # Study Design Cross-Sectional Study # Methods College and high school baseball pitchers were recruited to complete shoulder range of motion (ROM), isokinetic shoulder strength, and isometric shoulder strength testing using the ASH test. The ASH test was used to assess force production as a proxy for strength bilaterally at four levels of shoulder abduction (0°, 90°, 135°, and 180°), using a force plate. …”

Spatiotemporal Variations in Strain Release and Seismic Rupture in Multifault Systems: An Example from Panamint Valley, Southeastern California by Aubrey A. LaPlante, Christine A. Regalla, Israporn Sethanant, Shannon A. Mahan, Harrison J. Gray

“…Paleo-rupture patterns indicate that seismogenic strain transfer may occur through the PVTR, along different combinations of fault segments and jump distances, over multiple earthquake cycles. These data highlight the utility of tectono-geomorphic mapping in evaluating paleo-rupture patterns and suggest that the PVTR may act to propagate and/or arrest rupture between the Ash Hill and Panamint Valley faults.…”

How multisite phosphorylation impacts the conformations of intrinsically disordered proteins. by Fan Jin, Frauke Gräter

“…However, force fields including those tailored towards and commonly used for IDPs overestimate these changes. We find quantitative agreement of MD results with SAXS and NMR data for Ash1 and CTD2' only when attenuating protein electrostatic interactions by using a higher salt concentration (e.g. 350 mM), highlighting the overstabilization of salt bridges in current force fields. …”

Occurrence characteristics and utilization potential of scarce coking coal resources in Huaibei coalfield by Run ZHAN, Wenyong ZHANG, Feng HAN, Fengtang SUI, Jiayi GU, Guijian LIU, Tian ZHAO

“…The Huaibei Coalfield in Anhui Province, as one of the first key mining areas of scarce coking coal set up by the state, has rich resources and excellent coal quality, and is the most promising coking coal resource source in East China.In order to systematically understand the occurrence characteristics and exploitation and utilization potential of scarce coking coal in the study area, this paper reveals the spatio-temporal difference characteristics, formation control factors and resource potential of scarce coking coal in the study area through coal rock analysis, industrial coal quality index test, comprehensive mapping and resource evaluation, using previous drilling data and underground supplementary sampling tests.The results show that the scarce coking coal in Huaibei coalfield is well developed, and the floating coal after washing shows the characteristics of ultra−low water, ultra−low ash, ultra−low sulfur, ultra−low fixed carbon, medium and high volatile, and has the process properties of medium−strong bonding and coking, low potassium and sodium content, and good mechanical strength and thermal strength.The scarce coking coal is controlled by the regional structure and the sedimentary distribution of coal seams, and the coal seams of Xiashihezi Formation 7 and 8 are the most developed. …”
