Maximising somersault rotation in tumbling.
Performing complex somersaulting skills during the flight phase of tumbling requires the generation of linear and angular momenta during the approach and takeoff phases. This paper investigates how approach characteristics and takeoff technique affect performance with a view to maximising somersault rotation in tumbling. A five-segment planar simulation model, customised to an elite gymnast, wa...
متن کاملCoping with perturbations to a layout somersault in tumbling.
Tumbling is a dynamic movement requiring control of the linear and angular momenta generated during the approach and takeoff phases. Both of these phases are subject to some variability even when the gymnast is trying to perform a given movement repeatedly. This paper used a simulation model of tumbling takeoff to establish how well gymnasts can cope with perturbations of the approach and takeo...
متن کاملSomersault of Paramecium in extremely confined environments
We investigate various swimming modes of Paramecium in geometric confinements and a non-swimming self-bending behavior like a somersault, which is quite different from the previously reported behaviors. We observe that Paramecia execute directional sinusoidal trajectories in thick fluid films, whereas Paramecia meander around a localized region and execute frequent turns due to collisions with ...
متن کاملSomersault Software Fault-Tolerance
software fault-tolerance, process replication failure masking, continuous availability, topology The ambition of fault-tolerant systems is to provide application transparent fault-tolerance at the same performance as a non-fault-tolerant system. Somersault is a library for developing distributed fault-tolerant software systems that comes close to achieving both goals. We describe Somersault and...
متن کاملTumbling and technicolor theory.
The extended technicolor theory is a candidate of the physics beyond the standard model. To explain the mass hierarchy of the quarks and leptons, the extended technicolor gauge symmetry must hierarchically break to the technicolor gauge symmetry. Tumbling gauge theory is considered as a candidate of the dynamics of such hierarchical symmetry breaking, since the sequential self-breaking of the g...
