Basketball clubs in international competitions refer to professional basketball teams that participate in tournaments and leagues that feature clubs from multiple countries. These competitions provide a platform for teams to compete at a high level beyond their national leagues and often feature some of the best players and clubs in the world. Here are some of the notable international competitions for basketball clubs: 1. **EuroLeague**: The EuroLeague is the top-tier European professional basketball club competition.

Basketball statistics can vary significantly by league due to differences in rules, styles of play, and levels of competition. Below are some key basketball leagues along with a summary of their typical statistics: ### 1. **NBA (National Basketball Association)** - **Common Statistics**: Points, Rebounds, Assists, Steals, Blocks, Field Goal Percentage (FG%), Three-Point Percentage (3P%), Free Throw Percentage (FT%), Turnovers, Plus/Minus.

Most of these are going to be Whole-genome sequencing of some model organism:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_genome_sequencing#History lists them all. Basically th big "firsts" all happened in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Career achievements for basketball players can vary significantly based on their level of play, the leagues they compete in, and individual performance. Here are some common categories of achievements that basketball players may attain throughout their careers: ### 1. **Individual Honors** - **All-Star Selections:** Recognizing the top players in a league, especially in the NBA. - **MVP Awards:** Most Valuable Player awards are given at various levels, including league MVPs and Finals MVPs.

As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, there is no widely recognized person or entity named Alexander Volberg. If this name has become relevant due to recent events or developments, I wouldn't have that information. It’s possible that Alexander Volberg could refer to a private individual, a fictional character, or a person who has gained prominence after my last update.

College men's basketball records and statistics in the United States encompass a wide range of historical data, achievements, and performance metrics for college teams and players. Here are some key categories and examples of the records and statistics that are commonly tracked: ### Team Records - **Most NCAA Championships**: The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) holds the record for the most NCAA championships, with 11 titles.

This article gives an idea of how this kind of biological experiment feels like to a software engineer who has never done any biology like Ciro Santilli.

Lists of college basketball statistical leaders by team typically provide information on various records and statistics held by teams within college basketball programs. These lists can include top performances in categories such as points scored, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and more. Each college team usually maintains its own set of records, which can be categorized by single-game, single-season, and career statistics. Some common categories might include: 1. **Points**: Leaders in total points scored in a game, season, or career.

AAU basketball, or Amateur Athletic Union basketball, is an organization that oversees various youth sports, including basketball. The records for AAU men's basketball include various categories such as tournament results, individual player achievements, and team performances. However, the AAU does not maintain a centralized record-keeping system like professional leagues.

Advanced statistics in basketball refer to a set of metrics and analytical tools that go beyond traditional statistics (like points, rebounds, and assists) to provide deeper insights into player performance, team dynamics, and overall game strategy. These advanced metrics help coaches, analysts, and fans evaluate the effectiveness of players and teams in more nuanced ways.

In basketball, an assist is a statistic that credits a player for a pass that directly leads to a made basket by a teammate. The player who makes the pass is awarded the assist if the recipient scores the basket without any significant interruption, such as dribbling or excessive delay. Assists are important because they reflect a player's ability to facilitate teamwork, enhance ball movement, and create scoring opportunities for others.

The first thing we did was to filter the water samples with a membrane filter that is so fine that not even bacteria can pass through, but water can.

Therefore, after filtration, we would have all particles such as bacteria and larger dirt pieces in the filter.

From the 1 liter in each bottle, we only used 400 ml because previous experiments showed that filtering the remaining 600 ml is very time consuming because the membrane filter gets clogged up.

Therefore, the filtration step allows us to reduce those 400 ml volumes to more manageable Eppendorf tube volumes: Figure 1. "An Eppendorf tube". Reagents are expensive, and lab bench centrifuges are small!

Since the filter is so fine, filtering by gravity alone would take forever, and so we used a vacuum pump to speed thing up!

For that we used:

As of October 2023, the Basketball Champions League (BCL), established in 2016, has become one of Europe's premier club basketball competitions. The league features teams from various European domestic leagues and aims to provide an exciting platform for clubs outside the EuroLeague and EuroCup.

A basketball winning streak refers to a scenario in which a team wins multiple consecutive games without losing any in between. Winning streaks can vary in length, from just a few games to many. They are often a testament to a team's skill, cohesion, and sometimes favorable matchups against opponents. Winning streaks are significant because they can indicate a team's form and confidence level. They can boost team morale and fan support and play a crucial role in a team's standings during the regular season.

In basketball, a "block" refers to a defensive action where a player legally intercepts or deflects an opponent's shot attempt. This can occur when the defensive player jumps and makes contact with the ball, preventing it from going into the basket. Blocks are notable for several reasons: 1. **Defense**: They are a critical component of strong defensive play, showcasing a player's timing, athleticism, and ability to read the opponent's movements.

The term "double-double" can have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used: 1. **Culinary Context**: In some coffee shops, notably the Canadian chain Tim Hortons, a "double-double" refers to a coffee order that consists of two creams and two sugars. 2. **Sports Context**: In basketball, a "double-double" is a statistical term that signifies a player achieving double digits in two different statistical categories during a single game.

Because Ciro's a software engineer, and he's done enough staring in computers for a lifetime already, and he believes in the power of Git, he didn't pay much attention to this part ;-)

According to the eLife paper, the code appears to have been uploaded to: github.com/d-j-k/puntseq. TODO at least mention the key algorithms used more precisely.

Ciro can however see that it does present interesting problems!

Because it was necessary to wait for 2 days to get our data, the workshop first reused sample data from previous collections done earlier in the year to illustrate the software.

First there is some signal processing/machine learning required to do the base calling, which is not trivial in the Oxford Nanopore, since neighbouring bases can affect the signal of each other. This is mostly handled by Oxford Nanopore itself, or by hardcore programmers in the field however.

After the base calling was done, the data was analyzed using computer programs that match the sequenced 16S sequences to a database of known sequenced species.

This is of course not just a simple direct string matching problem, since like any in experiment, the DNA reads have some errors, so the program has to find the best match even though it is not exact.

The PuntSeq team would later upload the data to well known open databases so that it will be preserved forever! When ready, a link to the data would be uploaded to: www.puntseq.co.uk/data

In basketball, "efficiency" typically refers to a player's ability to contribute positively to their team's performance relative to the amount of resources (like minutes played, possessions used, or shots taken) they require to do so. There are several ways to measure efficiency, but one commonly used statistic is Player Efficiency Rating (PER), developed by researcher John Hollinger. Player Efficiency Rating is a comprehensive statistic that summarizes a player's statistical contributions into a single number.

EuroBasket Records refers to the statistical achievements and milestones in the history of EuroBasket, the European basketball championship organized by FIBA Europe. This tournament features national teams from various European countries competing for the title of European champion.
