Background: In swimming, a swimmer’s performance is mostly determined by the time spent on starts, stroking and turning. The start of a swimming races, especially sprint races, can account for almost a quarter of race time. Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the biomechanics and performance of three start techniques off the OSB11 starting platform over 15-meters to determine which of the three is most effective when looking at the three parts that constitute the start: block time, flight time and underwater time. Methods: A Quasi-experimental cross over trial-based study design was used to determine which of three starting techniques (Grab, Track & Kick) was the most effective off the OSB11 starting block. Ten Swimmers who qualified for junior nationals from Vineyard Swimming Club participated in the study. Each participant acted as their own control and were required to perform each start once. All trials were filmed and analysed on Dartfish pro suite 10. The following variables were analysed: shoulder angle, hip angle, knee angle, reaction time, movement time, total block time, flight distance, flight time, flight velocity, entry angle, underwater time, underwater distance, time to 15-meters.

Abstract:
The swimming track start is a complex motor skill that utilizes asymmetric lower limb action. The purpose of this study was to explore whether it could be optimized by applying the commonly accepted view that there are asymmetries in the function and behaviors of the lower limbs. Initially, the study aimed to examine the relationship between various measures of lower limb asymmetry and the swimmers' preferences for forward foot placement in the swimming track start. Participants underwent a 7 week training period whereby both the left foot forward (LFF) and the right foot forward (RFF) track starts were practiced. The philosophy behind this training protocol was to ensure that participants received equal practice with the preferred and non-preferred stance so that a dominant stance, if it existed, could emerge. Consequently, the relationships between the dominant track start stance and the lower limb asymmetry measures could be determined more accurately. Participants were male (N=11) and female (N=11) swimmers, aged 12-16 years, from the UWA-Uniswim National Age Squad. Kinetic and kinematic data were collected for the track start prior to and following the 7 week training intervention. The intervention was finished when a participant had completed approximately 14 dive sessions where both the LFF and RFF track starts were practiced. The performance criterion measure was time to 5 m. Despite significant differences in vertical force and velocity contributions following the intervention, time to 5 m did not improve for either the LFF or the RFF track start. Four different measures of lower limb asymmetry were collected, including footedness, the preferred track start stance, and the dominant take-off limb for the unilateral and bilateral counter-movement jump (CMJ). Sixteen of 22 participants displayed changes in their dominant track start stance. Eleven participants showed biases for one stance (6 for the LFF & 5 for the RFF), and 11 participants remained or became more symmetrical. Results indicated that the preferred track start stance was the only measure of asymmetry that was significantly related to track start performance (x2[2]= 6.71, p=.04 for pre-intervention & x2[2]=7.77, p=.02 for post-intervention). All other measures of lower limb asymmetry were shown to be unrelated to track start preference and performance. It was suggested that the 7 week training intervention did not provide a sufficient amount of time to see conclusive effects on 5 m time or to make conclusive comparisons between the dominant track start stance and measures of asymmetry. Since the preferred track start corresponded with better performance less than 50% of the time, it was suggested that swimmers and coaches experiment with different dive techniques to find the start which is most effective for them and spend more time on them during training.

Abstract:
Signal Track Analytical Research Tool (START), is a parallel system for analyzing large-scale genomic data. Currently, genomic data analyses are usually performed by using custom scripts developed by individual research groups, and/or by the integrated use of multiple existing tools (such as BEDTools and Galaxy). The goals of START are 1) to provide a single tool that supports a wide spectrum of genomic data analyses that are commonly done by analysts; and 2) to greatly simplify these analysis tasks by means of a simple declarative language (STQL) with which users only need to specify what they want to do, rather than the detailed computational steps as to how the analysis task should be performed. START consists of four major components: 1) A declarative language called Signal Track Query Language (STQL), which is a SQL-like language we specifically designed to suit the needs for analyzing genomic signal tracks. 2) A STQL processing system built on top of a large-scale distributed architecture. The system is based on the Hadoop distributed storage and the MapReduce Big Data processing framework. It processes each user query using multiple machines in parallel. 3) A simple and user-friendly web site that helps users construct and execute queries, upload/download compressed data files in various formats, man-age stored data, queries and analysis results, and share queries with other users. It also provides a complete help system, detailed specification of STQL, and a large number of sample queries for users to learn STQL and try START easily. Private files and queries are not accessible by other users. 4) A repository of public data popularly used for large-scale genomic data analysis, including data from ENCODE and Roadmap Epigenomics, that users can use in their analyses.

Abstract:
De vibrationer som uppkommer under start och stopp av motor i en lastbil är inte ett problem för den vanlige lastbilschauffören. Men när bränslesparande system och hybrida drivlinor blir allt vanligare på marknaden kommer vibrationskomforten under dessa vibrationer bli allt viktigare för förarmiljön. Speciellt för lastbilar i distributionstrafik och bussar. Olika parametrar som är av intresse under mätning av lastbilsmotorns start- och stopsekvens har undersökts och en mätmetod tillsammans med en analysmetod har föreslagits. En studie inkluderande 13 erfarna lastbilschaufförer och provningsingenjörer har genomförts med syftet att hitta samband mellan testpersonernas subjektiva uppfattning av dessa vibrationer och olika parametrar i mätdata. Resultatet av studien påvisar att vibrationerna under motor avstängning upplevs som mer besvärande än under start av motorn. Studien pekar också emot att vibrationslängd kan ha en större inverkan på vibrationskomfort än maxacceleration. Ett förslag till acceptanskriterium har också föreslagits.
The vibration comfort during engine start and stop in a truck is not a problem for the typical truck driver. But when fuel saving systems and hybrid power trains are becoming more common on the market, the aspect of driveability and vibration comfort regarding this load case will become more important, especially in distribution trucks and busses. Different parameters that are of interest during measurement of engine start and stop vibrations have been investigated and a measurement method along with an analysis method has been proposed. A study including 13 experienced truck drivers and test engineers was made with the purpose to find correlation between their subjective judgment and different parameters in the measurement data regarding the vibrations during engine start and stop. The result of the study indicates that the vibrations during engine stop perceives as worse compared to vibrations during engine start. It was also found that the vibration duration may have a bigger impact on subjective judgement than the peak acceleration. Based on the study, a proposal to criterion of acceptance has been established.

Resumo: A ficção científica pode ser entendida como uma forma antropológica de pensamento sobre a alteridade. Nesta dissertação aborda-se esta relação tendo como foco a série televisiva de Star Trek: Voyager. Para tal é realizada uma imersão no percurso filosófico do conceito de alteridade e da invenção da filosofia e, posteriormente, do pensamento antropológico, como formas de ficção sobre o Outro. Construindo uma etnografia pautada na interação entre indivíduos e máquinas, entendeu-se que estas últimas ocupavam o espaço de uma alteridade radicalmente outra, dado seu desposicionamento relacional. Uma vez que este esquema foi demarcado, entendeu-se que a ficção científica em questão era responsável por apresentar duas perspectivas ontológicas diferentes. Uma delas é o que chamei de ontologia da individualidade que existe nos mais variados coletivos humanoides de Star Trek. A outra, em oposição, é aparentemente exclusiva dos Borg e se constitui como uma ontologia da assimilação, na qual o conceito de individualidade, bem como sociedade, não pode ser pensado. Palavras-Chave: Antropologia da Ficção Científica, Star Trek, Ontologias e Indivíduos
Abstract: The science fiction could be understood as a type of anthropological thinking about the alterity. In this dissertation we aim to understand this relation by focusing in the TV Show Star Trek: Voyager. To do that we create a type of reflexion about the philosophical thinking on the concept of alterity and also the invention of philosophy itself. And later in the antropological thinking, as kinds of fiction about the Other. Our grounding is an etnography where we focus on the interation between individuals and machines. The later as a type of radical alterity completely alien to the notion of individual. After this scheme has been created, we understood that the science fiction is based on two kinds of ontological perspectives. The first is the ontology of the individual, mutual for different types of humanoids and their societies in Star Trek. The other is exclusively for the Borg as it is based in the notion of assimilation. Key words: Anthopology of Science Fiction, Star Trek, Ontologies, Individuals

Abstract:
This paper deals with decision problems related to the star problem in trace monoids, which means to determine whether the iteration of a recognizable trace language is recognizable. Due to a theorem by Richomme from 1994[30,31], we know that the Star Problem is decidable in trace monoids which do not contain a C4-submonoid. The C4 is (isomorphic to) the Caresian Product of two free monoids over doubleton alphabets. It is not known, whether the Star Problem is decidable in C4 or in trace monoids containing a C4. In this paper, we show undecidability of some related problems: Assume a trace monoid which contains a C4. Then, it is undecidable whether for two given recognizable languages K and L, we have K ⊆ L*, although we can decide K* ⊆ L. Further, we can not decide recognizability of K ∩ L* as well as universality and recognizability of K U L*.

Abstract:
In the last decade, some researches on the star problem in trace monoids (is the iteration of a recognizable language also recognizable?) has pointed out the interest of the finite power property to achieve partial solutions of this problem. We prove that the star problem is decidable in some trace monoid if and only if in the same monoid, it is decidable whether a recognizable language has the finite power property. Intermediary results allow us to give a shorter proof for the decidability of the two previous problems in every trace monoid without C4-submonoid. We also deal with some earlier ideas, conjectures, and questions which have been raised in the research on the star problem and the finite power property, e.g. we show the decidability of these problems for recognizable languages which contain at most one non-connected trace.

Abstract:
In this paper, I analyze and compare the novel The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon with the filmscript by Tracy Oliver for the 2019 movie adaptation. First, I demonstrate how the narrative in The Sun Is Also a Star deals with the literary ideas of fate and destiny and how scholars have defined the concepts. Secondly, I argue that the filmscript is a literary text that can be equated to the novel in a literary analysis of their narrative features. I claim that the narrative features of the novel and the filmscript embody fate and destiny in different ways because of the differences in their narrative situations and thought representations. I argue that the narrative situation of the novel, with its authorial narrator and narrative levels, embodies a relationship between fate and destiny as different perspectives are put into focus in the narration. However, the filmscript embodies these concepts as distinct because the narrative situation of the heterodiegetic narrator does not represent the same connectedness. I then maintain this argument as the filmscript in its thought representation and replacement of it with images and speech representation continues to portray the concepts as separate. In contrast, the thought representation of the novel embodies the relationship between the concepts because the thoughts represent connectedness and cause and effect. In my concluding remarks, I look at possible areas of future research.

Abstract:
Moždani udar predstavlja drugi uzrok smrti u celom svetu i neurološku bolest sa najvećim stepenom invaliditeta. Za povoljan ishod moždanog udara veoma je važno sprečavanje i lečenje somatskih kompikacija (SK), pri čemu je njihova učestalost i značaj za oporavak pacijenata potcenjena, a uticaj na ishod moždanog udara zanemaren. Ciljevi istraživanja su bili da se utvrdi učestalost pacijenata sa somatskim komplikacijama u akutnoj fazi moždanog udara; zatim da se utvrdi učestalost svake pojedinačne somatske komplikacije: pneumonije, urinarnih infekcija, duboke venske tromboze, tromboembolije pluća, dijarealnog sindroma i akutnog koronarnog sindroma; zatim da se utvrde faktori rizika za nastanak svake pojedinačne SK, kao i da se utvrdi uticaj SK na ishod bolesti - iskazan kroz njihovu povezanost sa funkcionalnim statusom, dužinom hospitalizacije i mortalitetom pacijenata. Istraživanje je sprovedeno kao prospektivno i obuhvatilo je 403 pacijenta hospitalizovanih zbog akutnog moždanog udara na Klinici za neurologiju Kliničkog centra Vojvodine u periodu od godinu dana. Pacijenti su podeljeni u dve grupe, gde su prvu grupu sačinjavali pacijenti sa registrovanom jednom ili više somatskih komplikacija (n = 162), a drugu su činili pacijenti koji nisu imali somatske komplikacije (n = 241). Evaluacija pacijenata obuhvatila je registrovanje sociodemografskih karakteristika, ličnu i porodičnu anamnezu, karakteristike moždanog udara, neurološki status na prijemu i otpustu, funkcionalni status na prijemu i otpustu, laboratorijske analize krvi i urina na prijemu, vrstu i vreme nastanka pojedinačne somatske komplikacije, sve relevantne dijagnostičke metode za postavljenje dijagnoze i definisanje potencijalnih faktora rizika. Somatske komplikacije se češće javljaju kod starijih osoba, prosečne starosti 72,9 godina, kod osoba ženskog pola i kod pacijenata sa hemoragijskim moždanim udarom. Somatske komplikacije registrovane su kod 40,2% pacijenata, pri tome urinarnu infekciju imalo je 20,3% pacijenata, pneumoniju 16,3%, infarkt miokarda 4,7%, plućnu tromboemboliju 3,4%, duboku vensku trombozu 2,4% i dijarealni sindrom 2,9% pacijenata. Nezavisni prediktori pneumonije su disfagija, narušeno stanje svesti, hronična opstruktivna bolest pluća, mRS veći od 3. Prediktori urinarnih infekcija su: podatak o rekurentnim urinarnim infekcijama, ženski pol, starost preko 70 godina, mRS veći od 3 i NIHSS skor veći od 16. Kao nezavisni prediktori plućnog tromboembolizma dobijeni su duboka venska tromboza, narušeno stanje svesti i gojaznost, dok se jedinim nezavisnim prediktorom dijarealnog sindroma pokazala starost pacijenta preko 70 godina. Prediktori akutnog koronarnog sindroma su: starost veća od 70 godina i hemoragijski moždani udar. Pacijenti sa SK, na kraju hospitalnog lečenja imaju značajno lošiji funkcionalni status u odnosu na pacijente bez somatskih komplikacija. Somatske komplikacije statistički značajno produžavaju hospitalizaciju. Kod četvrtine pacijenata (25,9%) sa somatskim komplikacijama u akutnoj fazi moždanog udara registrovan je letalni ishod. Najveći procenat smrtnih ishoda kod pacijenata sa somatskim komplikacijama registrovan je kod pacijenata sa infarktom miokarda (63,2%), a najmanji kod pacijenata sa urinarnom infekcijom (18,3%).
Stroke is the second cause of death worldwide and neurological disease with the highest level of disability. For a favorable outcome of stroke, the prevention and treatment of somatic complications are of great importance, while their frequency and the importance of the recovery of patients are underestimated, and the influence on the outcome of stroke is neglected. The aims of the study were: to determine the frequency of patients with somatic complications in the acute phase of stroke; to determine the frequency of each somatic complication: pneumonia, urinary infections, deep venous thrombosis, lung thromboembolism, diarrheal syndrome, and acute coronary syndrome; to identify risk factors for the emergence of each somatic complication, as well as to determine the effect of those complications on the outcome of the disease - expressed through their association with the functional status, length of hospitalization and mortality of patients. The study was conducted as a prospective and included 403 patients hospitalized due to acute stroke at the Clinic for Neurology of the Clinical Center of Vojvodina for a period of one year. Patients were divided into two groups; the first group included patients with one or more somatic complications registered (n = 162), and the second group consisted of patients without any somatic complication (n = 241). Patient evaluation included registration of socio-demographic characteristics, personal and family history, stroke characteristics, neurological and functional status at the time of admission and discharge, laboratory analysis of blood and urine at admission, type and time of emergence of each somatic complication, all relevant diagnostic methods for setting diagnosis and defining potential risk factors. Somatic complications are more common in older people (the average age of 72.9 years) in females and in patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Somatic complications were reported in 40.2% of patients, 20.3% of patients had urinary infection, 16.3% pneumonia, 4.7% myocardial infarction, 3.4% pulmonary thromboembolism, deep venous thrombosis 2.4% and diarrheal syndrome 2.9% of patients. Independent predictors of pneumonia were dysphagia, impaired state of consciousness, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mRS higher than 3. Predictors of urinary infections were: data on recurrent urinary tract infections, female sex, age over 70 years, mRS higher than 3 and NIHSS score higher than 16. As independent predictors of pulmonary thromboembolism, deep venous thrombosis, impaired state of consciousness and obesity were obtained, while the only independent predictor of diarrheal syndrome proved to be the age of the patient over 70 years. Predictors of acute coronary syndrome were: age over 70 years and haemorrhagic stroke. Patients with somatic complications at the end of hospital treatment had significantly worse functional status compared to patients without somatic complications. Somatic complications statistically significantly prolong hospitalization. A quarter of patients (25.9%) with somatic complications in the acute phase of the stroke had a lethal outcome. The highest percentage of deaths in patients with somatic complications was registered in patients with myocardial infarction (63.2%) and the lowest was registered in patients with urinary tract infections (18.3%).

Abstract:
In der Arbeit wird das Zusammentreffen der aus dem Club kommenden Electronic Dance Music (EDM) mit dem massenmedial konsolidierten Musikvideo untersucht. Diskutiert wird die These eines ästhetischen Paradigmenwechsels, der sich dadurch im Musikvideo vollzieht. Dieser beruht vor allem auf der musikalischen Figur des instrumentalen, modularen Tracks, die sich signifikant von der des Songs unterscheidet. Der originäre Zweck des Musikvideos, den Auftritt des Interpreten auf dem Monitor zu visualisieren, steht also mit dem Track zur Disposition oder wird gar obsolet; das erfordert neue Strategien der Bebilderung. Teil I und II der Arbeit verorten Musikvideo und EDM im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs und versammeln die jeweiligen ästhetischen Attribute. In Teil III wird anhand der Club Visuals die Beziehung von Tracks und Bildern erörtert, um darüber die veränderte Klang-Bild-Konstellation im Musikvideo durch EDM herzuleiten. In Teil IV werden die Erkenntnisse anhand der Fallstudie, dem Musikvideo „Windowlicker“ von Aphex Twin (Musik) und Chris Cunningham (Regie) aus dem Jahr 1999 ausgewertet und angewendet. Die Arbeit möchte die Dimension der ästhetischen Studien um das Musikvideo erweitern und verdeutlichen, wie sich das Musikvideo auch unter veränderten klanglichen Bedingungen als unentbehrlicher Bestandteil der Aufführung von Popmusik in der Monitorkultur erweist und als künstlerisches Genre unbedingt ernst zu nehmen ist, da sich in ihm zeitgenössische Avantgarden abbilden können.
This thesis explores the relationship between Electronic Dance Music (EDM) which originated in clubs, and the mass media consolidated music video. Focussing on how EDM influences the music video, an aesthetic paradigm shift on the latter is discussed. This change stemmed mainly from the structure of the instrumental, modular EDM track, which is significantly different from the structure of the song. Originally, the music video was intended as way of visualising the performance of the artist on the monitor; however, the advent of instrumental EDM tracks posed critical problems for this approach, and arguably renders it obsolete. New strategies of illustrations are required. Parts I and II of this thesis analyse music video and EDM through scientific discourses in an attempt to define their respective aesthetic attributes. In part III the relationship between tracks and images in club visuals is discussed in order to illustrate the singularity of this dialogue. In part IV, conclusions from the foregoing sections are evaluated and applied to a study of “Windowlicker” by British artist Aphex Twin, the video to which was directed by Chris Cunningham in 1999. The purpose of this thesis is to extend the aesthetic studies of the music video to clarify its status as an essential part of popular music in monitor culture. As an artistic genre it has to be taken seriously because it can display contemporary avant-gardes.

The grab start and track start are the most popular techniques presently. There were many factors influenced the performance in competitive swimming. Most studies are focus on kinematics and kinetics variables individually, the performance efficiency has not been investigated. The purpose of this study was to compare the grab start with track start in kinematics and kinetics variables. Kinematics variables were the outcome of kinetics variables, so impulse efficiency was an integrated variable from kinematic parameters (performance) and kinetic parameters (effort), and defined as the ratio of performance and effort. Twelve competitive swimmers participated voluntarily in this study. Two digital video cameras (JVC, 60Hz) and the force plate (KISTLER, 1200Hz) were used to collect images of starts and kinetics parameters simultaneously. Kwon3D 3.1 Motion System and Bioware 3.0 software were used to analyze data. The SPSS software was adopted to calculate the values of the parameters and repeated measures t-test used to test the differences between the two starts. The results of this study were shown and discussed in four aspects. (1) For the aspects of kinematics parameters, there were no significant differences between these two starts either in block time, flight time, take-off vertical velocity, entry velocity, entry vertical velocity, entry horizontal velocity, take-off angle, entry angle. However, significant differences were found between these two starts in gliding time in water, take-off velocity and take-off horizontal velocity. (2) For the aspect of start performance, there was no significant difference between these two starts in 7m average velocity. (3) For the aspect of effort, there was a significant difference between these two starts in impulse but no significant differences between these two starts either in Fmax and SSI. It suggested that different squat postures in the lower limbs of these two starts might influence in impulse but not in Fmax and SSI. (4) For the performance efficiency, the track start was higher significantly than grab start in impulse efficiency. This study concluded that the track start with higher impulse efficiency compared to the grab start was due to the less effort with the same level of performance. Key words: swimming, grab start, track start, impulse, efficiency.

The purpose of this study was to kinematics analyze the swimmers performing the grab and track start above and under water. Twelve male elite competitive swimmers were participated in this study. The grab start subjects data were: age 23 ± 1.9 yrs, heights 174 ± 3.5 cm, weights 75 ± 4 kg and 50m freestyle 25.1 ± 0.6 s; the track start subjects data were: age 21 ± 1.3 yrs, heights 177 ± 4.9 cm, weights 73 ± 3 kg and 50m freestyle 24.6 ± 0.4 s. Data were collected from three video recordings (60Hz) above and under water. The video data were digitized and calculated with Kwon3D Motion Analysis System. The results of the grab start showed that: start time were 1.2s, glide velocity were 2.16 ± 0.14 m/s, dolphin kick opportunity under water were 0.79 ± 0.2 s, time to 12m were 5.53 ± 0.19 s. The results of the track start showed that: start time were 1.1 ± 0.1 s, glide velocity were 2.23 ± 0.18 m/s, dolphin kick opportunity under water were 0.73 ± 0.2 s, time to 12m were 5.45 ± 0.17 s. The conclusions of this study were: significant differences between the two techniques were the center of mass at the set position, reaction time, movement time, and start time; no significant differences between dive groups were flight time and distance, takeoff and entry velocity, entry angle above and under water, glide time and distance, and time to 12m. It was suggested that athletes should consider including changed entry angle above and under water, used dolphin kick before the center of mass at the lowest position under water, decided the glide time and distance according to underwater motion analysis.

This research aims to discover the effects on the sprint start, speed and agility of primary school track team boys, looking forward to applied the result to the training in the future. There were ten track team boys in both experimental group and control group. (The average age of experimental group is 11.4±0.52 years and that of control group is 11.5±0.53 years. The average height of experiential group is 158.6±4.5 centimeters and that of control group is 157.8±2.94 centimeters. The average weight of experimental group is 40.4±2.41 kilograms and that of control group is 39.7±1.83 kilograms.) The experimental group was trained eight-week plyometric jumping training twice a week in addition to usual training, while the control group was trained as usual. All participants attended pre-test, post-test and postponed test which was conducted one month after the plyometric training. The testing items included crouching start, 30-meter sprint with crouching start, and four times 5-meter shuttle run. All the collected data would be shown via HLM 6.0 linear analysis, analyzing participants’ performance of three stages. In addition, the performance of two groups would be compared by t-test. The result showed that the 8-week plyometric training had significant influence on the sprint start. The performance of post-test had improved 7.5%, showing the great relation between the training and the scores, and the performance of postponed test remained (7.1%), showing the effectiveness of plyometric training. Secondly, the 8-week plyometric training had significant influence on the 30-meter sprint with crouching start. The performance of post-test had improved 2.9%, showing the great relation between the training and the scores, and the performance of postponed test remained (2.4%), showing the effectiveness of plyometric training. Finally, the 8-week plyometric training had significant influence on the four times 5-meter shuttle run. The performance of post-test had improved 5.7%, showing high effectiveness after the training, and the performance of postponed test remained (5.6%), showing the effectiveness of plyometric training. The result showed the plyometric training could effectively improve the spring start, speed and the agility, and it’d be suitable to be applied to the training course for the track team boys in primary schools.

Abstract:
In competitive swimming a spread in time of only 0.10, and 0.16 seconds constituted the difference between finishing second and seventh, and first and eighth, respectively, in the women's 50 yard freestyle at the 1993 NCAA Division III National Swimming & Diving Championships. Based on data collected over a period of years Maglischo (1993) noted that "improving the start can reduce race times by at least 0.10 second" (p. 544). Therefore it is beneficial to the outcome of a race to direct attention to maximizing the effectiveness of the racing start. The primary purpose of this study therefore was to compare kinetic and kinematic components of the grab and track style starts. During the past two decades extensive kinematic research has been done using cinematography. These studies used time, velocity, displacement, and the measure of angles (i.e. at takeoff and entry) to measure the relative effectiveness of various racing starts. Conversely, there has been limited analysis of racing starts using kinetic measurements. Four kinetic and five kinematic variables were evaluated in this study to compare the relative effectiveness of the starting techniques. Ten female varsity swimmers, who had used both starts interchangeably in competition, were selected for this study. Force components were obtained directly from a Kistler force platform. Block time, horizontal and vertical impulse, and average horizontal and vertical force values were obtained in subsequent analysis of the Force-time data. Each subject was videotaped as she executed three trials of each start. The video data were digitized and then analyzed using two dimensional video analysis techniques. The type of start technique used on each trial was randomly ordered. Kinematic variables of horizontal and vertical displacement of the center of mass, average horizontal velocity and vertical velocity were also obtained from the video data in order to determine which of the two starting techniques (i.e. grab vs. track) was the most effective. 2x10 (starting technique x subject) repeated measures Analyses of Variance indicated significant differences (p<0.01) between the starting styles for five of the nine dependent variables measured which provided support for the original contention that the track style start was the more effective of the two racing start techniques investigated. The results of this study provide support to the empirical and observational findings of earlier researchers.

Purpose: It aims to explore the correlation of kinematics parameter difference in three different kinds of crouch starts adopted by senior class players in elementary school at starting and acceleration phase with their height and leg length. Method: Based on 30 senior class track team players in elementary school, high-speed camera (300Hz) was used for the shooting and Kwon3D motion analysis software for data collection and analysis, from which kinematics parameter in three different crouch starts was retrieved. One-way ANOVAs of repeated measures was used for f-test with significant level α= .05; if it reached significant difference, LSD method would be used for post-hoc comparison. Result: It takes shorter completion time in bunch start than in elongated start, and the resultant velocity of CG (center of gravity) at heel strike of the second step in bunch start is greater than that in medium and elongated start; heel off the rear starting block takes shorter time in elongated start than in bunch start, CG vertical shift in elongated start is less than in bunch and medium start, and the first stride and the resultant velocity of CG at heel strike of the first step in elongated start is greater than that in bunch and medium start. The correlation of leg length is greater than height, and lower limbs greater than the length of thigh and shank in different start models. Conclusion: Start and the initial acceleration after start in elongated start will much prevail, which can acquire a steady, fast and smooth start process for further creation of better acceleration consistency; the longer lower limbs are related to the performance at start stage and the initial acceleration after start.

Medicinal herbs and their preparations (hot and cold infusions) are widely used by human beings all over the world. Asian countries use herbal remedies more in their natural states, like dried herbs and roots. The potential contamination of raw herbal products with toxic elements depends on many complex factors like species, cultivation, processing, harvesting time, level and duration of contaminant exposure, topography, geographical origin, storage. The determinations were performed using flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS ) and slotted tube atom trap - flame atomic absorption spectrometry (STAT-FAAS ). Sensitivity enhancement by using atom trapping in flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry was examined for increasing the residence time of the analyte atoms in the light path. The infusion samples were digested by superpure nitric acid. In this present, the following elements were determined in the leaf infusion : Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Cd, Ni and Pb. The metal content of infusion samples were ranged from 0.2–2.475 mg/kg for Cu, 4.875 to 60.45 mg/g for Fe, 0.475 to 19.8 mg/kg for Mn, 1.125 to 18.9 mg/kg for Zn. Pb, Ni and Cd were not detected (limit of quantitation of Ni: 0.052 ppm, Cd :0.010 ppm, Pb: 0.081 ppm).For the sake of representing daily average uptake of elements, the infusion samples were prepared normally as tea. However, medicinal herbs may be contaminated easily during growing and processing. It is important to have a good quality control for herbal medicines in order to protect consumers from contamination.
