Purpose Head acceleration events (HAEs) are a growing concern in contact sports, prompting two rugby governing bodies to mandate instrumented mouthguards (iMGs). This has resulted in an influx of data imposing financial and time constraints. This study presents two computational methods that leverage a dataset of video-coded match events: cross-correlation synchronisation aligns iMG data to a video recording, by providing play...

Continued warming of oceans has caused global shifts in marine species distributions. This can result in changes in the spatial distribution of landings and have distributional impacts on marine resource-dependent communities. We evaluated the spatial dynamics of American lobster ( Homarus americanus ) landings in coastal Maine, which supports one of the most valuable U.S. fisheries. We coupled a bioclimate envelope model and...

Purpose Land application of farm dairy effluent (FDE) can cause phosphorus contamination of freshwater due to its high nutrient content especially phosphorus (P) in the animal dung. A novel FDE treatment technology has been developed that uses poly-ferric sulphate (PFS) to treat the FDE and recycle water for washing farmyard and reduce the risk of water pollution from P leaching from through the soil. It is important that the...

No tillage (NT) has been proposed as a practice to reduce the adverse effects of tillage on contaminant (e.g., sediment and nutrient) losses to waterways. Nonetheless, previous reports on impacts of NT on nitrate () leaching are inconsistent. A global meta‐analysis was conducted to test the hypothesis that the response of leaching under NT, relative to tillage, is associated with tillage type (inversion vs non‐inversion tillag...

With increasing human uses of the ocean, existing seascapes containing natural habitats, such as biogenic reefs or plant-dominated systems, are supplemented by novel, human-made habitats ranging from artificial reefs to energy extraction infrastructure and shoreline installments. Despite the mixture of natural and artificial habitats across seascapes, the distribution and extent of these two types of structured habitats are no...

Crop coefficient ( K c ) estimations of ryegrass pasture ( Lolium perenne ) that matches the actual plant canopy represented by height ( h ) in rotational grazing systems have been assessed. This study investigated the impacts of grazing rotations on K c , using non‐weighing percolation lysimeters. The FAO Penman–Monteith equation was used to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ET r ) from daily weather data. A water ba...
