Fired and Fractured: An Analysis of Broken Ceramics
Get PDFHow does the construction of a ceramic object affect how it breaks? How does the force applied affect this break? These questions are based on my first-hand observations of the multitude of ceramic fragments found in different states of decay at archaeological sites. To answer these questions, I created samples that imitate ancient ceramics and then broke them in different ways. I then analyzed the fracture surfaces and looked for evidence of weak points in the objects. Pieces that were hit by a blunt force, such as a hammer, had radial fractures that formed along paths that had clusters of inclusions, especially shell inclusions. Seashells, which are primarily made of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), have a low tensile strength compared to the clay matrix that makes up most of the ceramic. The breaks nucleate from the weakest part, being these inclusions. Samples that were dropped broke in a linear pattern with a main break running through the sample and secondary breaks running perpendicular to the main break. These breaks are caused by compression fractures as the sample hits the ground, and both the force of the ground and gravity push the objects in opposite directions. Another outcome came from the decomposition of the seashells that turned into powder due to being heated over 825°C. This led to the tiles flaking and breaking down due to the structural integrity being compromised by the decayed seashells. Moisture also can influence the break. Samples that were soaked in water had cleaner breaks as the clay could absorb more of the impact before breaking, while the samples that were dry had cracks spreading out from the inclusions that could lead to more breaks
Fan Perceptions of Dynamic Ticket Pricing in Professional Sports: The Impact of Transparency, Incentives, and Demographics
Get PDFAbstract
Dynamic Ticket Pricing (DTP) has become a widely implemented strategy in professional sports, allowing organizations to adjust ticket prices based on demand fluctuations. While DTP optimizes revenue generation for teams, its impact on fan perceptions, purchasing behavior, and loyalty remains a crucial consideration. This study examines the influence of age, gender, pricing transparency, and promotional incentives on fans’ perceptions of fairness, trust, and purchasing decisions within a dynamic pricing model.
A total of 57 participants completed a survey assessing their attitudes toward DTP. Key areas of analysis included perceived fairness, willingness to pay for high-demand games, trust in pricing transparency, attendance decisions, and team loyalty. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation analysis, were conducted to determine significant differences among the identified variables.
Key findings indicate that while age significantly impacts willingness to pay for high-demand games, it does not significantly affect perceived fairness. Gender was not a strong predictor of willingness to pay higher prices. Pricing transparency demonstrated a strong positive correlation with trust (r = 0.72) and satisfaction (r = 0.68), highlighting the importance of clear communication in pricing strategies. Dynamic pricing also showed a moderate positive correlation with team loyalty (r = 0.58), suggesting that pricing structures influence long-term fan engagement. Promotional incentives significantly enhanced perceived fairness (r = 0.54) and increased game attendance (r = 0.66), reinforcing the role of promotions in improving the effectiveness of DTP models.
These findings provide insights into how sports organizations can refine their ticket pricing strategies to enhance fan engagement while maintaining financial sustainability. By understanding the factors that shape fan perceptions of DTP, teams can implement more effective pricing models that balance revenue generation with long-term fan loyalty

The 2x10 Intervention in Teacher Preparation: The Use of a Simple Relationship-Building Strategy by Teacher Candidates
No full textClassroom management is a significant and longstanding need for teachers and the field of teacher preparation. Teacher candidates often feel unprepared to deal with classroom and behavior management (Flower, McKenna & Harin, 2017). One of the most important management skills is relationship building (Yassine, Tipton-Fisler, & Kati, 2020). The 2x10 Intervention is a relationship building technique that improves classroom behavior and is both simple and efficient for teachers to implement (Smith & Lambert, 2005). This study examines the use of the 2x10 Intervention by 18 student teachers at one Midwestern university, during their clinical placement. Data were collected on student behavior in a control and intervention group, as well as perceptions of student teachers. Selected students showed improved behavior. Student teachers indicated an increase in the extent to which they value relationship building as an integral part of teaching. They reported gaining specific knowledge and skills and provided future direction for use of the 2x10 Intervention during student teaching. Results indicate that implementing the 2 x 10 Intervention during student teaching shows promise and should be investigated further
Parameters of Suspension Training on Core Performance: A Critically Appraised Topic
No full textClinical Scenario: The core is a functional unit connecting the upper and lower extremities consisting of abdominal, back, and hip musculature. A highly functional core is essential within the kinetic chain and aids in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Traditional means of core stability training are performed on a stable surface. An emerging mode of core training is suspension training (ST), which utilizes a movement paired with instability to challenge the core stabilizers and increase motor unit recruitment.The purpose of suspension training is to increase muscle activation in core stabilizer’s, while mimicking functional movements.It was the purpose of this research to determine the impact of ST on core performance.
Focused Clinical Question: What parameters of suspension training improve core performance in healthy participants?
Summary of Key Findings: Seven studies met inclusion criteria.
Search Strategy: Two researchers explored evidence using key search terms: core stability AND suspension training. Evidence at a level 2B on the CEBM or higher published in 2015 or after were included in the analysis of results. Databases searched: EBSCO and PubMed Central.
Summary of Key Findings: Suspension training programs should include at a minimum 5 full body exercises for overall improvement in core performance.2,11,12,14,16 Programs lasting three weeks or more showed improvement in overall core performance. 12,14,16 Programs taking place 3 days for a minimum of 45 minutes showed significant improvement 12,14,16
Clinical Bottom Line: The evidence reviewed suggests improvement in core performance can be achieved with the inclusion of ST.1-4,6-8 Core performance may show improvement with little as 9 training sessions but most programming lasted up to 6 months.4, 6-8 Exercises that demonstrated improvements in core performance are chest-press, glute bridges, regular and side plank exercises, pike and tuck exercises, squat and push-up variations, and bicycle crunches.2,11-12,14-16 The duration of a ST session should last a minimum of 30 minutes.6-8 No consensus as to the sets and reps of exercises were concluded.
Strength of Recommendation: A grade of B evidence exists that suspension training is an effective intervention to improve core performance while following the minimum identified parameters
