Terminology

In cricket, the term "quick" serves as a colloquial for a fast bowler, referring to a player who delivers the at high velocities to intimidate and outpace batsmen. These bowlers typically achieve speeds exceeding 140 km/h (87 ), with elite performers surpassing 150 km/h, reducing the batsman's reaction time and increasing the likelihood of errors. A prominent example is Pakistan's , known as the "Rawalpindi Express," who holds the record for the fastest recorded delivery in at 161.3 km/h (100.2 ) against during the 2003 ICC Cricket World Cup. The primary role of a quick bowler is to generate raw that challenges the batsman's timing and footwork, often combining speed with lateral movement through or seam to induce edges and dismissals. Techniques such as outswing, inswing, and variable from the exploit these high speeds, making quicks essential in , One-Day International, and T20 formats for breaking partnerships and applying pressure. Unlike slower bowlers who rely on or , quicks prioritize to dominate through sheer physicality, though accuracy remains crucial to avoid wides or no-balls. Historically, the concept of quick bowling evolved in 19th-century English alongside innovations in delivery styles, transitioning from underarm to round-arm and eventually to counter advancing batting techniques. The legalization of by the (MCC) in 1864 enabled greater speeds and marked the emergence of pace as a distinct attacking weapon, with early practitioners like Edgar Willsher exemplifying the shift toward faster deliveries.

Other Uses

Anatomy

In human anatomy, the term "quick" refers to the hyponychium, a specialized layer of skin located beneath the free edge of the fingernail or toenail. This structure forms a seal at the distal end of the nail bed, consisting of a slightly thickened epidermal layer that adheres closely to the underside of the nail plate. The hyponychium is rich in blood vessels and nerve endings, making it highly sensitive to touch and injury. The primary function of the is to protect the nail bed from pathogens and environmental irritants by creating a physical barrier that prevents microbial entry. It also supports healthy nail growth by maintaining the integrity of the distal and facilitating the smooth extension of the plate. Injuries to this area, such as trimming nails too short, can lead to significant pain due to its vascular and neural density, often resulting in bleeding and increased risk of if not properly managed. In , the is a key focus in conditions like or , where disruptions to this seal can compromise nail health. The sensitivity of the quick has given rise to the "cutting to the quick," which originates from the painful experience of damaging this living tissue beneath the nail.

Science and Technology

In (CFD), the QUICK scheme, or Quadratic Upstream Interpolation for Convective Kinematics, is a higher-order developed by P. Leonard in 1979 for discretizing convective terms in the . This scheme addresses the limitations of lower-order upwind methods by employing interpolation based on three upstream points to approximate the convected at cell faces, achieving third-order accuracy on uniform grids while reducing numerical diffusion and oscillations in solutions to convection-dominated equations. Introduced in Leonard's seminal paper, it has become a foundational technique in CFD software for simulating fluid flows, such as in Fluent and , where it enhances the resolution of sharp gradients in problems like pollutant dispersion or . The core of the QUICK scheme is its quadratic upstream interpolation, which fits a parabola through the upstream (W), central (C), and far-upstream (WW) for the east face on a uniform grid assuming positive flow direction. The face value is given by: \phi_e = \frac{3}{8} \phi_C + \frac{6}{8} \phi_W - \frac{1}{8} \phi_{WW} This formulation yields a of O(\Delta x^3) for uniform meshes. In practice, the scheme is blended with central differencing for terms and has been extended to unstructured grids, though it may require limiters like to suppress non-physical oscillations in highly convective regimes. In the domain of , QUICK also refers to the for Improving , a computer-based training and evaluation tool implemented by as part of their Crew Management System (CMS), which was rolled out progressively from 2005 onward, with QUICK in use by 2014. This system delivers interactive quizzes to locomotive pilots and guards on critical topics including safety protocols, operational rules, and signaling procedures, using a multiple-choice format with four options per question to assess and reinforce knowledge. By integrating with the CMS database, QUICK enables tracking of crew performance. As of 2015, participation was limited, with only about 25% of active crew (16,401 out of 63,729) engaging in quizzes.
