These findings may directly impact protocols for future efforts to conserve elephants, which are in danger of extinction due to increased poaching and human/elephant conflict.
This research examines how the design characteristics between different American football helmet models affect the linear and rotational acceleration responses as well as brain deformation metrics using a centric/non-centric impacting protocol.
A sensitivity analysis will be performed on the primary variable to assess the impact of protocol deviations using the per protocol analysis set.
A sensitivity analysis will be performed on the primary efficacy endpoint to assess the impact of protocol deviations using the per protocol analysis set.
The primary analysis was by intention-to-treat; however, a per-protocol analysis was also planned to assess the impact of protocol violations, if any, on the primary endpoint.
We agree that there needs to be time for the existing efficiency measures – and the full impact of protocol 14 – to be properly evaluated.
The list of peer contacts does not need to be 100% correct because the new peer can learn the membership information from subsequent gossip, but it will impact the protocol performance.
The resulting effective internal defects are characterised along with their interaction with a 10 J damage event, determined via non-destructive C-scanning and a compression after impact test protocol.
