BACKGROUND karate requires an optimal interception of the opponent's attack. Particularly in unconstrained situations, normal, untrained, subjects solve this problem adopting rather different solutions. It is currently unknown if karate as show a more uniform selection of interception schemes due to their special training. METHODS here we applied a 3D scanner to study the movement reproducibi...

In this contribution we set out to study how a team of two players coordinated their actions so as to intercept an approaching ball. Adopting a doubles-pong task, six teams of two participants each intercepted balls moving downward across a screen toward an interception axis by laterally displacing participant-controlled on-screen paddles. With collisions between paddles resulting in unsuccessf...

Development of the effective canopy architecture management for optimum light interception, and planting density on significant yield fruit quality Litchi cv. Shahi was investigated. The litchi Shahi, planted in square system at 2 × 2, 3 3, 4 4, 5 5, 6 8 m (control), showed average interception higher upper part canopy. Flowering attributes (number panicles, panicle length, number flowers yield...

Reduced vegetation cover caused by grassland degradation results in the interception of solar illuminance significantly decreasing, then leading to an increase ground temperature, which has a significant impact on biological growth and regional climate. Based field experiment, we explore grasslands with three degrees its effect soil temperature. Solar at various heights times was measured obtai...

ABSTP, ACT. Growth data from the most recent 5 years of a 40-year thinning study in an even-aged red pine (Pinus resinosa) forest in Cutfoot Sioux Experimental Forest, Minnesota, were used with intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (IPAR) data to determine the relationship between light interception and growth for a range of stand densities. Stand basal area (BA) growth was proportion...
