Wet Feet Warm Hearts Strong Places: a community created zine about flood resilience in Hull
No full textIntroductionWelcome to the Risky Cities zine. The art, poetry, imagery and stories in this zine have been created as part of the Risky Cities project at the University of Hull, which has explored the city of Hull's long history of living with water and flood. We have uncovered flood histories in the city's archives and woven them into Hull's poetic and literary legacy, bringing it all together in community workshops across the city. Local artists helped participants create textiles, poems and stories in response to these flood histories at the HU4 hub, Cottingham Civic Centre, ChildDynamix, the Freedom Centre and TimeBank Hull
Simple drag prediction strategies for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s hull shape
No full textThe range of an AUV is dictated by its finite energy source and minimising the energy consumption is required to maximise its endurance. One option to extend the endurance is by obtaining the optimum hydrodynamic hull shape with balancing the trade-off between computational cost and fluid dynamic fidelity. An AUV hull form has been optimised to obtain low resistance hull. Hydrodynamic optimisation of hull form has been carried out by employing five parametric geometry models with a streamlined constraint. Three Genetic Algorithm optimisation procedures are applied by three simple drag predictions which are based on the potential flow method. The results highlight the effectiveness of considering the proposed hull shape optimisation procedure for the early stage of AUV hull desig

A new method to identify key match-play behaviours of young soccer players: Development of the Hull Soccer Behavioural Scoring Tool (Anonymised dataset)
No full textThe aim of this research was to develop a valid and reliable Hull Soccer Behavioural Scoring Tool suitable for youth soccer match play. The method used to design the Hull Soccer Behavioural Scoring Tool comprised of a five-stage process of (i) conducting an initial literature review to establish content validity (ii) gaining content validity through a cross sectional online survey (iii) establishing face validity via expert coach feedback (iv) conducting inter-rater reliability tests and (v) intra-rater reliability tests. The completion of an online survey with soccer practitioners provided additional insight into the perceived importance of specific desirable behaviours in the development and identification of talented youth soccer players. Twenty-two soccer academy practitioners completed the survey which revealed that player behaviours such as resilience, competitiveness, and decision making were all valued as the most important behavioural characteristics by practitioners (90.9%), whilst X-factor was valued as least important by a significant amount (27.2%). Participants during the testing procedure included academy soccer coaches. Players involved in the study took part in four versus four small-sided games (SSG) in a ‘round-robin’ tournament across three weeks which accumulated 14 SSG’s, 100 – 140 minutes of playing time and 70 – 98 individual player grades whilst academy coaches used the Hull Soccer Behavioural Scoring Tool to assess evidence of desirable player behaviours. Reliability results revealed an acceptable level of agreement with scores between 81.25% - 89.9% for inter-rater whilst intra-rater provided scores between 80.35% - 99.4%. Preliminary evidence here suggests that the Hull Soccer Behavioural Scoring Tool is both valid and reliable method to assess desirable player behaviours during talent identification processes. Thus, youth soccer practitioners and researchers should seek to test and further validate the tool in order to confirm its utility as a means of measuring behavioural characteristics of youth soccer players

Hull: Culture, History, Place
No full textFrom its earliest origins to the twenty-first century, Hull is a city that has been continually shaped by flows of people, commodities, ideas and trade. The result is a distinctive city with a longstanding, varied, proud and often remarkable history. Hull: Culture, History, Place is a celebration of this unique city’s past and present. Telling the story of Hull from the earliest settlement on the muddy banks of the river, through civil war rebellion, maritime success and the trauma of the Second World War to post-war resilience and recovery, this book shows how and why Hull has been a place of significance and success over many centuries. The eleven chapters, twenty-five enlightening vignettes and many illustrations bring the city’s history to light and life, exploring the people, places, trade, industry, ideas, creativity and vision that have formed the lived experience of this city for over eight hundred years
