Time Series Analysis: The Cross-Correlation Function, Timothy R. Derrick, Joshua M. Thomas Iowa State University

Time Series Analysis: The Cross-Correlation Function, Timothy R. Derrick, Joshua M. Thomas

Kinesiology Publications

The concept of cross-correlation has been developed in two distinct fields: signal processing and statistics. In the area of signal processing, the cross-correlation function can be used to transform one or more signals so that they can be viewed with an altered perspective. For instance, cross-correlation functions can be used to produce plots that make it easier to identify hidden signals within the data. Cross-correlation functions provide the basis for many more sophisticated signal-processing procedures as well. Digital imaging techniques also rely heavily on cross-correlation procedures, but these methods are not covered in the chapter. In the realm of statistics ...

Black Drowning Deaths: An Introductory Analysis, Alena Gadberry, James Gadberry Gadberry Education Services

Black Drowning Deaths: An Introductory Analysis, Alena Gadberry, James Gadberry

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Black children between the ages of 5 and 14 are 2.6 times more likely to drown than white children. A systematic exclusion from public pools and other forms of water activities over time has led to a lack of cultural capital involving aquatics among black families. Pierre Bourdieu has provided a theoretical foundation in which to understand this issue. The social fields created by generational socialization have made blacks feel like they have no place in the water. It will take a restructuring of the social institutions to set in motion the socialization (or a re-socialization) of new and ...

The Onset Of Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia And Individual Differences In Inappropriate Arginine Vasopressin Excretion: A Review Of Proposed Mechanisms, Michelle Stehman, Stephen A. Maris 2021 Springfield College

The Onset Of Exercise-Associated Hyponatremia And Individual Differences In Inappropriate Arginine Vasopressin Excretion: A Review Of Proposed Mechanisms, Michelle Stehman, Stephen A. Maris

Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology

Topics in Exercise Science and Kinesiology Volume 2: Issue 1, Article 10, 2021. Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) has been reported to develop during endurance events such as triathlons and marathons. As these events become more popular, the incidence of developing EAH also increases. The development of EAH is commonly associated with the overconsumption of hypotonic fluids such as water and tends to be more prevalent in females. There is also evidence to suggest the inappropriate secretion of arginine vasopressin (AVP) leading to water retention may predispose an individual for developing EAH, especially when coupled with the overconsumption of fluids. Recent research ...
