Assessment of simple reaction time in badminton players

Introduction. Badminton is considered a sport requiring high levels of all constituent speeds. Few available instances of research in this area maintain that badminton players are characterised by high levels of movement speed, nervous conductivity and agility. Aim of the Study. This work was aimed to determine the times of simple reaction in male and female badminton players by assessing differences between badminton players and controls. Assessment of reaction times also involved a comparison of results obtained during the experiments with standards available in the literature. Material and Methods. Subjects were divided into four groups: two groups of top level junior players (10 boys and 6 girls); 26 non-playing boys and 6 non-playing girls. The measurements were conducted with the use of the MRK-80 reaction meter. Results. Arithmetic means, minimum and maximum values, standard deviation and coeffi cient of variation were calculated. Student’s t-test was conducted to compare the results in the groups. Conclusions. Badminton players display shorter reaction times than non-players, which is probably the consequence of practicing badminton. The difference was found between results of all tests taken by boys and most tests taken by girls. The comparison of the obtained reaction times displayed by badminton players with the available standards proved that their values were mostly average, which might be the consequence of the fact that in badminton, like in many other sports, more complex factors, e.g. choice reactions, anticipation, etc., are of far greater signifi cance.
The interaction of the pectic polysaccharide Rhamnogalacturonan II with heavy metals and lanthanides in wines and fruit juices

The speciation of metals with biological compounds (proteins, peptides, amino acids, etc.) is the subject of i n c reasing interest since the complex ation of heav y metals may reduce their toxicity and their bioava l a i b i l i t y. However, there are a limited number of studies concerning the speciation of metals with plant polysaccharides. This is somewhat surprising since plant cell walls contain polysaccharides (pectins) that contain a high proportion of negatively charged glycosyl-residues. In this article, we discuss the cation-binding characteristics of pectins and in particular describe the selective binding of heavy metals and lanthanides by the structurally complex pectic polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II). The complexation of divalent cations with the carboxylic acid groups of uronic acids from pectins is well establ i s h e d . H ow ev e r, one pectic p o ly s a c ch a r i d e, R h a m n o g a l a c t u ronan II, ex i s t s as a borate ester cross-linked dimer that forms coordination complexes with selected di(Pb2+, Ba2+ and Sr2+) and trivalent (lanthanides) cations. The cation-rhamnogalacturonan II complex accounts for the majority of lead in wines and fruit juices and may also account for some of the heavy metals present in plant cell walls.
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, STABILITY AND STRUCTURE OF SOLID SOLUTIONS BETWEEN Α-MIARGYRITE(AGSBS2) – SMITHITE (AGASS2) AND β- MIARGYRITE - SMITHITE

Sulphosalts in the system AgSbS2-AgAsS2 have been experimentally investigated using dry methods. The solid solutions which form between ? -miargyrite and smithite have different structures. The EPMA data for the solid solution series show that there is an inverse relation between Sb and As. The cell parameters of the solid solution between ? -miargyrite and smithite increase up to about 50% of AgSbS2 substitution in the smithite structure and then reveal a structural phase transition as a function of composition. Electron diffraction (TEM) data for ? -miargyrite is consistent with the space group A2/a , but for the compositions Ag(As0.1Sb0.9)S2 and Ag(As0.3Sb0.7)S2, the phases do not show good Laue zones and Kikuchi lines and the symmetry could be either monoclinic or triclinic. The variation in the DW factor derived from the EXAFS spectra for the first shell of S atoms surrounding As in Ag(As0.3Sb0.7)S2 tends to be smaller than for AgAsS2 indicating that the As environment in Ag(As0.3Sb0.7)S2 is more ordered than in Ag(As0.5Sb0.5)S2 and AgAsS2. This ordering indicates that with more substitution of Sb in AgAsS2, the monoclinic (A2/a) Ag(As0.5Sb0.5)S2 collapses around As atoms to a probable low-monoclinic or triclinic structure.
The Arab Spring| WikiRevolutions: Wikipedia as a Lens for Studying the Real-Time Formation of Collective Memories of Revolutions

In this article, we propose to interpret the online encyclopedia Wikipedia as an online setting in which collective memories about controversial and traumatic events are built in a collaborative way. We present the richness of data available on the phenomenon, providing examples of users’ participation in the creation of articles related to the 2011 Egyptian revolution. Finally, we propose possible research directions for the empirical study of collective memory formation of traumatic and controversial events in large populations as they unfold over time.
Discovering Authoritative users in Question Answer Communities: A Case Study of Stack Overflow

Question answer communities such as Stack Overflow and Yahoo! Answers are becoming more and more popular knowledge sharing communities, which have attracted great interest from both industry and academia. On such communities, people can ask questions of any kind and then wait for someone else to answer the questions. Nevertheless, in many cases, the questioners cannot get satisfactory answers from the answerers. In order to make the questioners obtain satisfactory answers, it is very necessary for question answer communities to know how to find the authoritative users and recommend some authoritative answerers to the questioners. We consider the problem of identifying authoritative users in Stack Overflow. So far, many methods have been proposed to automatically discover authoritative users in question answer communities. A common method is to use link analysis technique such as PageRank and HITS. The main problem with this method is that it does not consider an important factor, the time factor. In this paper, we investigate the time aspect of ranking with application in the Stack Overflow. The result shows that the proposed method is highly effective.
STRUCTURAL AND RELATIONAL INTERDEPENDENCE AND ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION IN SMES: The Mediating Role of Internal Knowledge Sharing

This study examines the intermediary role of internal knowledge sharing in the relationship between two aspects of SMEs’ internal organizational context, namely, structural and relational interdependence and their entrepreneurial orientation (EO). With a sample of 146 SMEs, the structural equation modelling results show that higher levels of internal knowledge sharing associate with stronger EO and that such knowledge sharing derives from higher levels of task and reward interdependence, as well as from higher levels of social interaction and trust. The findings also reveal that internal knowledge sharing fully mediates the relationships between SMEs’ task interdependence and trust with EO. The study contributes to small business research by highlighting several features of SMEs’ internal environment that can be used to enhance their entrepreneurial postures.
Pride Against Prejudice? The Stakes of Concealment and Disclosure of a Stigmatized Identity for Gay and Lesbian Auditors

How do individuals choose to conceal a stigmatized attribute and what are the consequences of such a choice? We answer this question by looking at how gay and lesbian employees make sense of their homosexuality in the highly normative context of audit firms. As a first step, we unveil the subtle pressures exerted on those who possess concealable stigmatized identities. Homosexual auditors engage in partial or full concealment of their sexuality. They live in the fear of being misjudged and cast out of a context in which male values are tantamount. However, the efforts required to conceal create a situation of unrest, which eventually interferes with their social integration at work. We draw on rich ethnographic material in French audit firms, benefitting from the exogenous shock of a gay marriage bill. The study’s findings shed new light on audit as a gendered profession and the cost of concealing stigmatized invisible identities.
The Effects of Context and Experience on the Scientific Career Choices of Canadian Adolescents

This study explored the differential utility of contextual and experiential factors in the prediction of scientific career aspirations. Specific propositions based on the Lent et al. ( 1994) socialcognitive model of career choice were also examined. Data were obtained from a Canadian national subgroup (n=--3,306) of adolescents (13-19 years) who participated in the National Youth and Science Fair Project Study (NYSPS). Multivariate logistic regression analyses indicated that family background, scientific learning experiences, science self-efficacy measures, outcome expectancies, and scientific interests contributed significant unique variance to the prediction of scientific career choice. Results of a final model revealed that students aspiring for a career in the sciences were more likely than their peers to be male, senior students, have higher grades in science, more interest in science, and expect Volume 5, Number 2, 2007 Diana Urajnik,1 Rashmi Garg,2 Carol Kauppi,3 and John Lewko4 their science courses to be useful to their future career. Scientific self-efficacy and outcome expectancies were found to have direct effects on choice goals. Outcome expectancies also had an indirect effect on choice goals through scientific interests. Scientific interests had a significant direct effect on choice goals. Implications for career development/choice theory and practice arc discussed.
Profil Hematologi dan Status Metabolit Darah Domba Garut yang Diberi Pakan Limbah Tauge pada Pagi atau Sore Hari (BLOOD HAEMATOLOGICAL PROFILE AND METABOLITE STATUS OF GARUT LAMB FED DIETS MUNG BEAN SPROUT WASTE IN THE MORNING OR EVENING)

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diet containing mung bean sprout waste (MBSW)and feeding timeson the hematological profiles and metabolite status of Garut lambs. Experimentaldesign used in this study was a factorial randomized block design with two factors of diet and two feedingtimes. Two factors of diets were 60% concentrate 1+40% natural grass and 60% concentrate 2+40% MBSW.Feeding times were in the morning (6:00-7:00 am) or the evening (5:00-6:00 pm). The animals were rearedin individual cages and fed with 5% DM/kg body weight/day. The hematological profiles of the goat wereexamined and analyzed with Anova. The results showed the treatment of rations significant effect onblood glucose, whereas feeding time very significant to glucose, erythrocytes and hemoglobin, and theinteraction of both treatments significantly affect hemoglobin, hematocrit and glucose level. Meanwhile,leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, neutrophils/lymphocyte ratio (N/L), urea-N and blood cholesterol were not affected by the treatments and their interactions. But overall the number of erythrocytes 8.72-12.78x106/mm3, hemoglobin 7.6-10.02 g/dL, leukocytes 8.94-12.27x103/mm3, neutrophils 33.00-52.20%,lymphocytes 38.80-52.40%, N/L 0.78-1.66, glucose 41.94-54.24 mg/dl, urea-N 29.91-35.87 mg/dL and bloodcholesterol 24.57-30.28 mg/dL. These results suggest that diets containing 40% MBSWtogether with amorning or an evening feeding time did not cause disturbances in haematological profile and blood metabolitestatus of garut lamb.
Atmospheric icing on large wind turbine blades

A numerical study of atmospheric ice accretion on a large horizontal axis ‘NREL 5 MW’ wind turbine blade has been carried out using the computational fluid dynamics based technique. Numerical analyses were carried out at five different sections along the wind turbine blade for both rime and glaze ice conditions. Based upon the flow field calculation and the droplet collision efficiency, the rate and shape of accreted ice was simulated at different atmospheric temperatures. Results indicate that the icing is less severe near the blade root sections, where the blade profiles are larger and thicker, both in terms of local ice mass and accreted ice thickness. Change in accreted ice growth with the atmospheric temperature is significant along the blade sections from centre to tip. The research work also highlighted that the ice accretion on wind turbine blades can also be controlled by optimizing its geometric design features instead of only using the energy consuming anti icing and de-icing systems.

Model and Construction Method on Dynamic Knowledge Network in Big Data

In view of the shortage of construction methods and semantic models, a new semantic knowledge model named dynamic knowledge network was put forward based on previous work. Then, the model was described in detail about constituent elements. Further, the knowledge representation method was studied. Under the guidance of semantic knowledge model, the semi-automatic construction method was researched facing open network data for dynamic knowledge network. Finally, the experiment was carried out using 360 encyclopedia and news data. The results showed that the proposed model and method can effectively support the construction of dynamic knowledge network.

Body proportion and physique of all India inter varsity male sprint swimmers

Individual physique and body proportion or composition has been discovered to impose constraints upon capacity for optimal performance in sports. This study was carried out to determine the body composition (%body fat, lean body mass) and somatotype characteristics of university male swimmers and compare it with their overseas counterparts. 24 all India Inter varsity male swimmers from LNIPE Gwalior were chosen for the investigation. Their mean age was 18.9 (+/-1.5) years, height 169.1 (+/5.73) cm and weight 65.4 (+/5.74) kg. Anthropometric measurements included triceps, sub scapular, suprailiac, abdomen and calf skin folds, biceps and calf circumferences and humerus and femur breadths. The body fat percentage was calculated using the formula prescribed by Faulkner. The somatotype of the subjects was calculated by the Health and Carter method. The swimmers under this study have a body fat percentage of 12.3 (+/-1.15) %. Their mean Lean Body Weight (LBW) was 57.4 (+/3.65) kg and Total Weight of Fat was 8.03 (+/1.01) kg. Regarding the somatotype, they fell into the somatotype category of balanced mesomorphs with a value of 3.1 – 4.5 – 2.6. Mesomorphic component is highly developed which confirms the general notion that mesomorphs make good swimmers because they tend to be muscular, and therefore capable of sprinting through a very dense medium of water. Similarly, the moderate fat adiposity (12.3%) under the subcutaneous skin may provide adequate buoyancy that will facilitate greater floatation during freestyle swimming.

By optimizing the notched radiating patch, the total bandwidth of the antenna is greatly improved. The designed antenna has a small size of 27:5 £ 27:5mm 2 .
ROAD DATA INFORMATION SYSTEM; BUDAPEST CASE STUDY

Budapest Közút is developing ROad Data Information System based on mobile laser scanning since 2013. All public roads (cca. 5000 km) are surveyed by MLS (Riegl VMX450) in survey grade accuracy and all visible road assets has been digitized and loaded to a complex 3D GIS environment. Since the first full coverage had been done in 2014 the whole city has also been updated - being one of the few large infrastructure in the World that has not one but multiple high accuracy 3D data for the whole network. The high level accuracy, the full coverage and the already available data updates allows Budapest to use the 3D data for multiple operational applications - from traffic-and road design to planning, from assets management to traffic safety analyst and municipality activities. One of the most cutting-edge applications is the road surface analyst over time that allows the road management company to analyze and optimize different construction methods and is changes over the years. One example for road quality analyst is the
Local knowledge and natural resource management in a peasant farming community facing rapid change:A critical examination

Environmental degradation is a major global problem, and addressing it is a key Millennium Development Goal. Its impacts are not just environmental (e.g., species loss), but also economic (e.g., reduced agricultural productivity), with degradation increasingly cited as a key cause of rural poverty in the developing world. The degradation literature typically emphasises common property or 'open access' natural resources, and how perverse incentives or missing institutions lead optimising private actors to degrade them. By contrast, the present paper considers degradation occurring on private farms in peasant communities. This is a critical yet delicate issue, given the poverty of such areas and questions about the role of farmers in either degrading or regenerating rural lands The paper examines natural resource management by peasant farmers in rural Tanzania. Its key concern is how the local knowledge informing farmers' management decisions adapts to challenges associated with environmental degradation and market liberalisation. Given their poverty, this question could have direct implications for the capacity of households to successfully meet their livelihood needs. Based on fresh empirical data, the paper finds that differential farmer knowledge helps explain the large differences in how households and communities respond to the degradation challenge. The implication is that some farmers adapt more effectively to emerging challenges than others, despite all being rational, optimising agents who follow the management strategies they deem best. The paper thus provides a critique of local knowledge, implying that some farmers experience adaptation slippages while others race ahead with effective adaptations. The paper speaks to the chronic poverty that plagues many rural communities in the developing world. Specifically, it helps explain the failure of proven 'sustainable agriculture' technologies to disseminate readily beyond an initial group of early innovators, and suggests a means to help 'scale up' local successes. Its key policy implication is to inform improved capacity building for peasant communities.
Effects of some Advanced Oxidation Processes and Chlorine on disappearance of Methylene Blue

Disappearance of Methylene Blue (MB) in distilled water has been investigated when it was treated by sunlight and /or chlorine and Fe2+/H2O2 system at different pH values. It is found that the above elements and systems have actions on MB disappearance with different efficiency. The disappearance efficiency by using each system was compared in terms of percentage and kinetics disappearance. By exposing Methylene Blue (MB) aqueous solutions to solar rays, kinetic disappearance increased slowly with decreased pH. This fact, which became faster, is inversed by regarding pH when free chlorine is added to the same aqueous solutions of MB. However, when free chlorine is coupled with sunlight, a remarkable enhancement, at higher pH, of the disappearance activity compared to obtained results with isolated elements.On the other hand, the system H2O2/Fe2+ was also tested to remove MB in terms of kinetic curves at different pH. Important and faster removal levels were obtained at acidic pH.
