Assessing the Impact of a Virtual Reality Cognitive Intervention on Tennis Performance in Junior Tennis Players: Pilot Study by Joaquin A Anguera, Aleem Choudhry, Michael Seaman, Dominick Fedele

“…Following the treatment period, individuals in the intervention group showed a significant improvement in their UTR (an increase of 0.5; t12=4.88, P<.001) unlike the control group (an increase of 0.02; t9=1.77, P=.12). On comparing the change in UTR (posttraining UTR minus pretraining UTR) attained by each group, we found that the intervention group had a 38% greater improvement in UTR than the control group. …”

Investigating the Impact of Order Flow Imbalance and Information Asymmetry on Treasury Bill Price Changes by Ali Namaki, Aysa Kazemi bavil

“…Therefore, to check the price effect of orders, 17 symbols of treasury bills in the over-the-counter market from 2021 to September 2023, which had the most trading days compared to other treasury bills, were used. Therefore, in this research by using the vector autoregressive model and analyzing it through the impulse response function, the effect of order flow imbalance on price changes is investigated in three categories of treasury bills with different maturities to investigate the impact of information asymmetry on orders. …”

Evaluation of Performance Metrics Required in Proper Selection of SDN Controller for Integrated Satellite-Terrestrial Networks by Oluwatobi A. Ayofe, Mu'azu J. Musa, Zanna M. Abdullahir, Abdoulie M.S. Tekanyi, Aliyu D. Usman, Ezekiel E. Agbon, Emmanuel A. Otsapa, Agburu O. Adikpe, Matthew Iyobhebhe, Paul Thomas Muge

“…Observing from the values for both the throughput and synchronisation time metrics under all the topologies, it can be inferred that a number of hosts have more impact on the metrics rather than traffic volume, and this could be attributed to caching mechanisms like Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) wherein new traffic from known hosts can quickly be processed compared to new traffic from new hosts. In summary, the ONOS controller can be considered to offer good performance in an ISTN. …”
