The present study examined muscle adaptations and alterations in performance of highly trained soccer players with intensified training or training cessation. Eighteen elite soccer players were, for a 2-wk period, assigned to either a group that performed high-intensity training with a reduction in the amount of training (HI, n = 7), or an inactivity group without training (IN, n = 11). HI improved ( P < 0.05) performance of the 4th, 6th, and 10th sprint in a repeated 20-m sprint test, and IN reduced ( P < 0.05) performance in the 5th to the 10th sprints after the 2-wk intervention period. In addition, the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 2 test performance of IN was lowered from 845 ± 48 to 654 ± 30 m. In HI, the protein expression of the Na+-K+ pump α2-isoform was 15% higher ( P < 0.05) after the intervention period, whereas no changes were observed in α1- and β1-isoform expression. In IN, Na+-K+ pump expression was not changed. In HI, the FXYD1ser68-to-FXYD1 ratio was 27% higher ( P < 0.01) after the intervention period, and, in IN, the AB_FXYD1ser68 signal was 18% lower ( P < 0.05) after inactivity. The change in FXYD1ser68-to-FXYD1 ratio was correlated ( r2 = 0.35; P < 0.05) with change in performance in repeated sprint test. The present data suggest that short-term intensified training, even for trained soccer players, can increase muscle Na+-K+ pump α2-isoform expression, and that cessation of training for 2 wk does not affect the expression of Na+-K+ pump isoforms. Resting phosphorylation status of the Na+-K+ pump is changed by training and inactivity and may play a role in performance during repeated, intense exercise.

In the upcoming Fermilab Tevatron collider run, [Formula: see text] collisions will occur at 132 ns intervals, and the CDF II trigger system requires that information about drift chamber tracks be provided within 2.2 μs of every collision, so that tracking information can be used in conjunction with data from other detector components to trigger on physics objects with little background. We have developed a fast online track processor for locating high-momentum tracks in the chamber. The design is highly parallel, and is implemented in programmable logic devices. We describe the design of the system and performance tests.

Context: Sleep schedule adjustments are common requirements of modern-day athletes. Many nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic strategies exist to facilitate circadian rhythm shifts to maximize alertness and performance during competition. This review summarizes the evidence for commonly used pharmacologic agents and presents recommendations for the sports medicine provider. Evidence Acquisition: MEDLINE searches were performed using the following keywords: sleep aids, circadian rhythm adjustment, athletes and sleep, caffeine and sports, melatonin and athletes, and sleep aids and sports. Pertinent articles were extracted and discussed. Study Design: Clinical review. Level of Evidence: Level 2. Results: There are very few available studies investigating pharmacologic sleep aids in athletes. Data from studies involving shift workers and airline personnel are more abundant and were used to formulate recommendations and conclusions. Conclusion: Melatonin, caffeine, and nonbenzodiazepine sleep aids have a role in facilitating sleep schedule changes in athletes and maximizing sports performance through sleep enhancement.

During Run 2 (2015–2018) the Large Hadron Collider has provided, at the World’s highest energy frontier, proton–proton collisions to the ATLAS experiment with high instantaneous luminosity (up to [Formula: see text]), placing stringent operational and physics requirements on the ATLAS trigger system in order to reduce the 40 MHz collision rate to a manageable event storage rate of 1 kHz, while not rejecting interesting collisions. The Level-1 trigger is the first rate-reducing step in the ATLAS trigger system with an output rate of up to 100 kHz and decision latency of less than 2.5 [Formula: see text]s. In Run 2, an important role was played by the Level-1 Topological Processor (L1Topo). This innovative system consists of two blades designed in AdvancedTCA form factor, mounting four individual state-of-the-art processors, and providing high input bandwidth and low latency data processing. Up to 128 topological trigger algorithms can be implemented to select interesting events by applying kinematic and angular requirements on electromagnetic clusters, hadronic jets, muons and total energy reconstructed in the ATLAS apparatus. This resulted in a significantly improved background rejection and enhanced acceptance of physics signal events, despite the increasing luminosity. The L1Topo system has become more and more important for physics analyses making use of low energy objects, commonly present in the Heavy Flavor or Higgs physics events, for example. An overview of the L1Topo architecture, simulation and performance results during Run 2 is presented alongside with upgrade plans for the L1Topo system to be installed for the future Run 3 data taking period.

Triggering at the HERA ep collider is challenging because of the high bunch crossing rate and an expected large background. In the H1 experiment, a trigger decision is made in four steps (level 1–4), stepwise decreasing the event rate and allowing for more sophisticated trigger decisions. The time available for L2 is about 20 μs. We have proposed to use an artificial neural network (ANN) for the L2 trigger based on the CNAPS-1064 chip available from Adaptive Solutions, (Oregon, USA). The intrinsic parallelism of the ANN algorithm together with the dedicated hardware offers fast processing of the trigger informations. The trigger system uses up to 10 decision units, each consisting of a Pattern Recognition Module (PRM) and a Data Distribution Board (DDB). A DDB receives the L2 data stream and generates the network inputs used by the algorithms on the PRM. A PRM is a commercial VME board carrying the CNAPS processors.
