Biomechanical analysis of getting in o-gurma (leg technique) in judo: a biomechanical approach

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of selected kinematic variables of three point shot between first and fourth quarter in the basketball players. A total of five (n = 5) best male gymnasts of 18 to 23 years old from L.N.I.P.E., Gwalior (M.P.) were selected for the present study as subjects. To acquire kinematical data, a digital Nikon D-3100 video recording camera with a frame rate of 30 frames per second, were used during the execution by placing it right side of players and perpendicular to the sagittal plane.

Crack detection in underground pipeline systems

Underground pipeline systems need incredible maintenance. Due to tarnishing and mechanical stresses catastrophic defects are caused. These buried infrastructures need to be handled with the utmost care. Detecting cracks is very important as it causes great forfeiture of time and human efforts. Also, if these defects are not detected accurately it may cause a loss of the contents flowing through the pipelines. Detection of defects in underground systems is a fairly convoluted process. Currently it is done through a very manual procedure.

Clonal variation in selected wood anatomical properties and specific gravity of eucalyptus tereticornis sm. from two localities in Karnataka

A native of Australia and the East Indies, Eucalyptus was introduced to many parts of the world and today ranks as one of the most ubiquitous trees. Eucalyptustereticornis Sm. known as Mysore gum in India is one of the most extensively cultivated Eucalypt species to meet the ever increasing demand of paper and pulp, and wood based industries. The supply to the wood based industries has always fallen short of their requirements. Due to shortage of raw materials from forests, industries have started their own plantations.

Metallic glasses that save power and boost sustainable development

Innovative amalgamation of advances in disciplines like nanotechnology, thin film engineering and crystallography, has led to the design and fabrication of functional materials such as shape memory alloys, conducting polymers and metallic glass. These new materials exhibit better mechanical strength than the conventional materials and save the time taken in executing a task. One of these materials – the metallic glass, saves the consumption of energy and thus arrests the resultant degradation of environment. It also bears the potential to boost our longevity and health.

Bug tracking systems on the basis of platform and functionality

A Bug Tracking System defines a streamlined process for bug reporting, bug assignment, status, severity, duplicity and priority. Bug tracking is a system which is used to keep a track of any type of bugs in any software. It helps the software developers to know what the error is so that they can resolve it and learn from it. This can be easily done by using various Bug Tracking Systems. Working on a software project includes the management of bugs we find. At first, we might list them on a spreadsheet.
