A product of ASD socio-communicative-deficits and insufficient police training related to autism, ASD-police interactions have the potential to become problematic, with negative outcomes for ASD individuals and police alike. Thus, the combination of police acclimation, simulatory experience for drivers with ASD and the introduction of Connecticut’s recent Blue Envelope could improve overall experiences for drivers. A simulated routine traffic stop practice event, utilising pre- and post- measures was conducted in an effort to quantify drivers’ feelings about current and future interactions with police. Our prediction that participants would experience a statistically significant improvement in anxiety, comfort and self-perceived knowledge levels about future ASD-police interactions immediately following the intervention was confirmed. Our prediction that initially significant disparities between participants with and without police experience – those with previous police encounters versus those that don’t - would become not significant immediately following the intervention was disconfirmed. While the longitudinal data suggested that improved post-intervention ASD psychological measures remained statistically significant in the long-term, the sample responses to our long-term questionnaire were too few in number to make any definitive conclusions. It is suggested that practice traffic stops such as these could benefit both drivers with ASD and law enforcement nationwide. It is further suggested that police officer curriculums should include additional training regarding special populations.

We aimed to compare electromyographic activity of the external portion of the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi and triceps brachii long head in an acute resistance training session between bench press (BP), lat pull down, pullover and triceps lying exercises. Concentric and eccentric phases electromyographic activity were compared. pectoralis major showed significantly higher activity in bench press (67.9 %) than in pullover (50.8 %), triceps lying (35.9 %) and lat pull down (14.1 %) in the concentric and eccentric phase (43.4 %, 27.5 %, 24.5 % and 7%, respectively). Latissimus dorsi showed significantly higher activity in lat pull down (59.5 %) than in pullover (22.7 %), triceps lying (10.7 %) and bench press (6.6 %) in the concentric and eccentric phase (37.4 %, 8.4 %, 7.6 % and 4.4 %, respectively). Triceps brachii long head showed significantly higher activity in triceps lying (67.7 %) than in bench press (49.2 %), pullover (34.3 %) and lat pull down (12.4 %) in the concentric and eccentric phase (37.6 %, 23.8 %, 20.5 % and 9.7 %, respectively). We found that bench press, lat pull down and triceps lying exercises are more effective to activate pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi and brachii long head muscles, respectively. Pullover exercise is more effective to activate pectoralis major (50.8 %) rather that latissimus dorsi (22.7 %). One should take into account such results while preparing a strength training periodization routine in order to avoid overtraining.

The interaction between fishing gear and pipeline is one of the most severe design cases for some subsea pipeline systems, because the severity of the impact, pullover, and hooking is not well described by the industry today. The damages to the pipeline, the fishing gear, and ship are depend greatly on the type of fishing gear and the pipeline conditions, such as the weight and velocity of the fishing gear and the wall thickness, coating, and flexibility of the pipeline. One of the most important issues in designing pipelines to resist fishing gears is to make a realistic description of the applied loads, their time history, and the pipeline resistance. In this chapter, basic types of trawl gears are introduced to determine the degree of the response under accidental loads and environmental loads and the acceptance criteria is interpreted including impact response analyses and pullover response analyses based on finite element models.
