INFLUENCE OF THE CRANK MECHANISM POSITION IN THE MOTION OF AN OSCILLATING SIEVE by EMILIAN MOSNEGUTU, NARCIS BARSAN, MIRELA PANAINTE-LEHADUS, DANA CHITIMUS, CLAUDIA TOMOZEI

“…From the obtained results analysis, it was found that in the case of 12.71° of the connecting rod angle, in relation to the horizontal, the lowest value of the angle described by the motion of the tie rod between the extreme points was obtained. Also, for the value of the connecting rod angle of approximately 6.5° equal angles described by the extreme positions of the sieve support in relation to the vertical were obtained. …”

Evaluation and Treatment of Baseball Pitchers: There’s More to Assess than the Arm by Matthew L Gauthier, Casey A Unverzagt, George J Davies

“…Even though the pitching motion is well-established as a whole-body kinetic chain movement, most attention in rehabilitation and prevention efforts is often placed on the upper extremity. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to highlight the impact the lower extremity and trunk have on the upper extremity during the throwing motion, better equipping clinicians to treat this patient population. …”

Climate change shifts risk of soil salinity and land degradation in water-scarce regions by Isaac Kramer, Nadav Peleg, Yair Mau

“…Using California’s San Joaquin Valley as a case study, we perform first-order sensitivity analyses for the effect of changing evapotranspiration (ET) rates, length of the rain season, and magnitude of extreme rainfall events. Higher aridity, through increased ET, shorter rainy seasons, or decreased magnitude of extreme rainfall events, drives higher salinity — with rising ET leading to the highest salinity levels. …”
