Introduction and Purpose: The swimming start is very important for achieving better results in competitions. The Purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two plyometric training techniques both in aquatic and on land in two start techniques (grab and track) of butterfly swimming in Elite male adolescent Swimmers.Methodology: 20 elite male swimmers divided into two groups of plyome...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Flow and Cavitation in a Butterfly Valve
Since knowledge on hydrodynamic torque of a butterfly valve is very important for butterfly valve design, its hydrodynamic torque is investigated in this paper. In reality, the investigation of the loss coefficient and torque from some experiments will take a long time and a lot of money. This paper presents a statistical study of the flow past the butterfly valve in a static analysis using com...
متن کاملFlower-Visiting Butterflies Avoid Predatory Stimuli and Larger Resident Butterflies: Testing in a Butterfly Pavilion
The flower-visiting behaviors of pollinator species are affected not only by flower traits but also by cues of predators and resident pollinators. There is extensive research into the effects of predator cues and resident pollinators on the flower-visiting behaviors of bee pollinators. However, there is relatively little research into their effects on butterfly pollinators probably because of t...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation on Cyclic Behavior of Butterfly-shaped Links Steel Plate Shear Walls
An innovative type called "butterfly-shaped links steel plate shear wall (BLSPSW)" was proposed as a lateral load resisting system. In this novel system, by creating butterfly-shaped links in the four sides of the web plate, the lateral load resisting mechanism is not the development of a diagonal tension field on the web plate (similar to Conventional SPSWs), but the capacity of the system is ...
متن کاملMonitoring the impact of Bt maize on butterflies in the field: estimation of required sample sizes.
The monitoring of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) after deliberate release is important in order to assess and evaluate possible environmental effects. Concerns have been raised that the transgenic crop, Bt maize, may affect butterflies occurring in field margins. Therefore, a monitoring of butterflies was suggested accompanying the commercial cultivation of Bt maize. In this study, basel...
متن کاملClimate change, phenology, and butterfly host plant utilization
Knowledge of how species interactions are influenced by climate warming is paramount to understand current biodiversity changes. We review phenological changes of Swedish butterflies during the latest decades and explore potential climate effects on butterfly-host plant interactions using the Orange tip butterfly Anthocharis cardamines and its host plants as a model system. This butterfly has a...
