Ammunition, Demystified - The (Non) Bubba''S Guide To How Ammo Really Works

by Jeff Siewert

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 Ammunition, Demystified is Hatcher’s Notebook for the twenty-first century. It’s a "soft" technical document intended for small caliber ammunition design and production engineers, as well as more advanced shooters and reloaders who want a more in-depth understanding of how guns and ammunition work and interact with one another. There is very little that is truly simple about small arms ammunition due to the enormous stresses to which the bullet and cartridge case structures are subjected during the firing process and the nonlinear material properties of these ammunition components. Ammunition Demystified untangles these interactions and will help put you on the path of increased understanding of a simple yet complex topic. This book encapsulates the technical knowledge acquired on bullets, cartridge cases, barrels, and ammunition testing over a career spanning four decades. It is a useful reference for shooters, reloaders, and "ammo guys" to assist them when they troubleshoot the mechanical and dispersion performance of their firearms and ammunition.Ammunition Demystified topics covered are•cartridge cases and case-chamber interaction•propellants and interior ballistics•projectile design, aerodynamics, and stability•trajectory, dispersion, accuracy•barrel: manufacture, fatigue life•ammunition: pressure and velocity testing, and load developmentwww.bulletology.com

Game Theory, Machine Learning, And Production In Sports - The Fair-Credit Baseball Statistics

by Michael Mcbride

~~74,91€~~ 67,42€ 10% OFF

 In this groundbreaking book, economist and game theorist Michael McBride presents an innovative answer to this question for the sport of baseball: 'How is individual performance fairly measured when success depends on teamwork?' The answer is — the Fair-Credit Baseball statistics.Drawing on the Nobel Prize-winning Shapley Value from coalitional game theory, McBride creates two revolutionary measures of offensive performance: Shapley Run Credits (SRC) and Offensive Shapley Win Credits (OSWC). Unlike traditional baseball statistics, these new measures satisfy mathematical fairness axioms, making them the fairest measures of individual credit in the sport.McBride combines this theoretical foundation with cutting-edge machine learning to analyse over a century of Major League Baseball data, producing the most accurate measures of offensive performance in baseball history. The result is a sophisticated yet intuitive statistical framework that finally gives players the credit they truly deserve for actual results — not projected or average performance.Written for academic researchers, sports analysts, and baseball enthusiasts alike, this book successfully bridges complex mathematical theory with practical application. It offers technical rigor for professionals while remaining engaging and accessible for anyone passionate about understanding what really happens on the baseball diamond.Contents: <ul><li>Preface</li><li>About the Author</li><li>Acknowledgments</li><li>Introduction</li><li>The Game Theory:<ul><li>Coalitional Game Theory, the Shapley Value, and Fairness</li><li>Shapley Run Credits</li><li>Offensive Shapley Win Credits</li></ul></li><li>The Machine Learning:<ul><li>Construction a Value Function</li><li>Training the FCB Classification Model to Do Event-Trigger Scorekeeping, with Robert MacDonald</li><li>Predictive Performance of the FCB Classification Model, with Robert MacDonald</li></ul></li><li>The Fair-Credit Statistics in Practice:<ul><li>Leaderboards</li><li>Coalitions</li><li>Most Valuable Players</li><li>Fair-Credit Heroes</li><li>Great Games Revisited</li></ul></li><li>Bibliography</li><li>Index</li></ul>Readership: Academic researchers exploring innovative applications of game theory will find a detailed presentation of how coalitional game theory can be applied to baseball statistics; Sports statisticians and analysts — including sabermetricians ...

Art Of Handgun Shooting

 In The Art of Handgun Shooting, legendary marksman Charles Askins Jr. delivers a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the discipline of pistol shooting, combining decades of field experience with expert-level instruction.

Illustrated with diagrams and examples, the book remains a valuable resource for sportsmen, military personnel, law enforcement, and self-defense practitioners.

Greatest Teams And Greatest Players – A History Of Test Cricket

by R. I. Gilbert

3,95€ + 10% CARD

 Test cricket pits country against country in a five-day struggle for cricket supremacy. It is the ultimate cricketing challenge for those players who are skilful enough and dedicated enough to represent their country at the highest level. But Test cricket is much more than that; it is a source of national pride and a mechanism that brings together vastly different cultures and communities, encouraging mutual respect, as well as a shared admiration for the heroes of the game. Ever since the first Test match in 1877, lovers of cricket have argued over who was the best, the best team, the best batsman, the best bowler, the best wicketkeeper, the best captain, the best slips fielder and so on. Of the millions who have played cricket, only 3,162 men have been good enough to play Test cricket for their countries, and, of these, 841 were successful enough to play more than 20 Test matches. This book is about those few – the best of the best. Based solely on the batting and bowling ratings obtained using only the players' statistics, the best Test team for each era has been selected from every Test player who played more than 20 Test matches in that particular time period. The best national teams in each era for each participating country have also been selected. It is hoped that the national and world teams selected here and the comparisons between players provide for enjoyable reading, both settling old arguments and creating new ones.

Goal-Line Technology In Football. A Critical Analysis Of Its Efficacy And Limitations For Referees

by Michel Egenolf

~~15,61€~~ 14,05€ 10% OFF

 Project Report from the year 2024 in the subject Sport - Sports Equipment and Supplies, University of Applied Sciences Munchen, language: English, abstract: This academic paper takes a critical look at various aspects of goal-line technology in football. The main focus is on explaining how the technology works. The motivation for the introduction of this technology was due to several incorrect decisions by referees when a goal was scored. After lengthy discussions, the national and international associations decided to introduce camera-based goal-line technology. Fourteen cameras are attached to the roof of the football stadium to check disputed situations. Seven cameras are aimed at each of the two penalty areas and film the ball as soon as it enters the penalty area. The camera images are then transmitted to a computer via fibre-optic-cable. The computer then uses detection software to calculate the exact position of the ball in relation to the goal line. As soon as the ball is behind the goal line, a signal is sent to the referee's watch on the field. With the help of the technology, the referee on the field can make the right decision even in tight situations. Nevertheless, it has been shown that the technology also makes mistakes despite its high level of accuracy; examples of this from football are discussed in detail. The advantages and disadvantages of the technology are then discussed in a critical evaluation, which concludes that the combination of humans and digital technology remains superior to the use of technology alone.

Managerial Succession And Team Performance: The Role Of Manager Attributes - A Sport Economic Analysis

by Martin Mertens

18,29€ + 10% CARD

 Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Sport - Sport Economics, Sport Management, grade: 2,7, Bielefeld University (Abteilung Sportwissenschaft), course: Okonomische Fragen von Mannschafts- und Individualsportarten, language: English, abstract: Michael Owen's statement above shows the point of view of a player after manageri-al succession. With a new manager coming, the atmosphere in a team is tense. The player's skills are reassessed and their position in the team is insecure. It becomes necessary to demonstrate some strength and impress the new manager. A strained situation for everyone involved, not just the players. Owen's remark then naturally does not take into account the manager's point of view and how he might perceive a team and react to the disruptive effects of succession. In sports, managers perform several functions which are often deemed critical to the performance of organizations. Therefore, when teams perform poorly, there is a common notion that managerial succession and replacing the manager will lead to improved performance. In spite of numerous studies and ongoing attention to this interesting phenomenon, the effect of managerial successions on team performances remains a debated issue. Related to this issue is the investigation of the impact of a manager's attributes, such as ability or experience. Do managerial skills affect team performance, and if so, how can these attributes be assessed? The results of such studies might solidify an evaluation of a manager's work when carefully distinguishing between the manager's contribution to team success or failure and the team's own performance. As such, investigations like those studied in this paper might help to break the today often criticized habit of hiring and firing a manager solely based on won-loss balances. Obviously, there is still a need to investigate this phenomenon in greater detail in a theoretical and empirical way.
