Commercially, GA is also offered as an assessment tool of athletic performance by identifying locomotive inefficiencies1 (p.1)
Writer’s comment:
I got it from PubMed. Kasmer. So these papers are usually searched through our database PubMed. So the conclusion of the study was “Faster runners …”, so I am basically just generalizing it by saying it is used to assess “locomotive inefficiencies”… So in this case the topic is specific about marathon runners but I am generalizing to become athletic performance because that’s too detailed for the context that I present for the readers. So for that particular reference that [it is] generalized the entire study in one sentence, just to provide an example to support what I am saying… Again to generalize it. … they are talking about “foot strike patterns” and I’ve changed it to inefficiencies.

Initial studies show that, in principle, variable speed wind turbines can provide a greater inertia effect than conventional synchronous machines, because generator torque can be increased at will, extracting relatively large amounts of energy from the spinning wind turbine rotor. This decelerates the wind turbine rotor rapidly, and so may not be sustained for very long before aerodynamic torque is reduced. High generator torque also results in high loads on the drive train, which may add significant cost.

Our study found that casual workers (often women) had least access to rights enshrined in codes of labour practice or to their legal entitlements, and were rarely unionised or represented on workers committees. (722)

Writer’s text:
In their study on labor codes in the agrifood industry, Barrientos and Smith found that labor codes were particularly weak “in terms of workers’ right to organize and bargain collectively, and in relation to gender issues” (2007, p.715). Women suffered not only directly due to their gendered position in patriarchal systems, but also indirectly, as they were most likely to be casual workers and as such, had least access to rights, legal representation or entitlements.
Writer’s comment:
I used “casual workers”, “rights”, “entitlement”. … It says “legal entitlement” and “were rarely unionized or represented”. So I have taken “represented” from her and mixed it with “legal entitlement” to say “legal representation or entitlement”. Because it’s past tense, it means it is in relation to the study.
