Summary: In sports competitions, teams that have already qualified or opposing teams may sometimes not compete actively due to other factors, which can lead to collusion and match-fixing opportunities.

Summary: The MATCH challenge aimed to provide a common methodology for measuring accuracy of MLTT approaches for lung SABR. Various MLTT approaches demonstrated sub-millimeter tracking accuracy and precision, paving the way for broader clinical implementation. The challenge is ongoing, with datasets and analysis software available online for future research support.

Summary: The study aimed to establish sources of variability in match physical performance of professional soccer players and provide a method for monitoring individual between-match changes. Data analysis revealed that variability was higher for certain metrics, and significant changes were identified for total distance, total accelerations, and maximum running velocity.

Summary: Health monitoring of critical structures, such as serial structures, is an urgent task. The Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) techniques are considered the best solution for this. The OMA utilizes a large number of sensors for structural response assessment. In order to monitor the health of serial structures, deviations between samples must also be considered. The proposed solution combines a compact measurement system based on piezoelectric film sensors and modal passport (MP) techniques. The effectiveness of this approach was confirmed through a series of tests on similar composite cylinders, which showed the applicability of the sensor network and the OMA methods for health monitoring of serial samples.

Summary: The study found that athletes are most susceptible to match-fixing when attributed to a stable individual attribute, but also susceptible when power is high. Anticipated moral emotions negatively predict susceptibility to match-fixing and mediate the effects of attributions and power on susceptibility.

Summary: The study aims to contribute to the body of knowledge in sport social science by synthesizing evidence on Asian match-fixing studies, identifying emerging theoretical frameworks, and exploring the various perspectives on match-fixing. The research sheds light on the implications of Asian match-fixing cases for different cultures and social network relationships.

Summary: Nitrogen-fixing trees have variable effects on forest growth and neighbour demographics across the coterminous US, depending on local factors. This variability helps explain conflicting results from previous localized studies on the role of nitrogen-fixing trees in forest growth.

Summary: Player performance is the most important factor in determining match scores, and these factors vary depending on the players' positions on the field. Analyzing performance factors in relation to pitch positions can provide insights on the specific characteristics players need to develop in order to win.

Summary: Some cyanobacteria dominate when the supply of dissolved nitrogen is low, but the availability of phosphorus is high. A mathematical model was used to show that cyanobacteria can coexist with non-fixing algal competitors at intermediate nitrogen-phosphorus supply ratios. However, when the abiotic loss rates are too high, cyanobacteria are competitively excluded. The presence of herbivores also affects the competitive dynamics, with algae dominating at the highest and lowest nitrogen-phosphorus supply ratios, and cyanobacteria dominating at intermediate ratios. The study also highlights the importance of planktonic community processes in determining nitrogen supply in aquatic environments.

Summary: The study aims to address two main issues in video hyperlinking: the limitations in effectively modeling video content and the risk of using vector-distance based similarity to measure aboutness. Firstly, an attentional neural network is built to highlight important content, followed by constructing a holographic composition network to model aboutness for link establishment.

Summary: The study aimed to explore stressors and coping strategies of cricket bowlers during a competitive match using the Think Aloud method. Findings revealed that stressors and coping responses varied throughout the cricket bowling performance, with stressors categorized as organizational and competitive, and coping responses coded as problem-focussed and emotion-focussed strategies.

Summary: High resolution mass spectrometry can identify hundreds to thousands of proteins per sample with label-free quantification, but the gold standard for quantitative proteomics is MRM. The authors demonstrate a reductionist approach using correlation analysis of dairy ingredients, successfully explaining variance in proteomics data with only 9 proteins. Their method, Trinity-MRM, shows reproducibility below 5% in independent experiments with double cream.

Summary: This study investigated the physical and physiological performance intensities and associated decrements in elite soccer referees during match play. The results showed significant differences between halves for various performance variables, with higher peak intensities and faster rate of decline in the second half. The findings suggest the need for high-intensity interval and endurance training programs to prepare referees for the demands of match play.

Summary: Studies show that the effects of new anti-doping measures on elite athletes' performance are limited. However, the implementation of these measures can lead to a decrease in performance in sports where banned substances are widely used. A study found that the performance of athletes from Country A, which was accused of systematic doping, decreased in 8 out of 10 disciplines after the implementation of new anti-doping methods. In contrast, the performance of athletes from Country B, their competitors, did not significantly change.
