Background. Although the educational program for teaching basketball shooting has been discussed, the mental visualization of teaching shooting skills for beginners has not been discussed yet. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of mental visualization in teaching some types of basketball shooting skills. Methods. The experimental method was chosen for its suitabil...

The amount of wounding during routine culling is an important factor in the welfare of wild deer. Little information exists on factors determining shooting accuracy and wounding rates under field conditions in the UK. In this study, 102 anonymous stalkers collected data on the outcomes and circumstances of 2281 shots. Using hot-deck imputation and generalised linear mixed modelling, we related ...

BACKGROUND Impulse noise produced from firearms can potentially damage hearing organs resulting in sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). In Chiang Mai during 1997, Detphithak et al reported a prevalence of acute acoustic trauma (AAT) in 22% of new military privates using an H.K.33 for shooting practice without hearing protection. The H.K.33 renders an average sound pressure level of 128 dBA. Earmu...

Arabic script character recognition is challenging task due to complexity of the script and huge number of ligatures. We present a method for the development of multilingual Arabic script OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and lexicon reduction for Arabic Script and its derivative languages. The objective of the proposed method is to overcome the large dataset Urdu and similar scripts by using...

In this paper we give a mathematical proof of the existence of the time independent and spherically symmetric solution to the ’t HooftPolyakov model of magnetic monopole by using 2D-shooting method. ∗Current address: Department of Mathematics, University of Californis, Davis, CA95616. e-mail: [email protected].

The difficulties with the simple shooting method for the solution of ordinary differential boundary value problems are well known, and there have been many suggested modifications to overcome them. Notable among them are the discrete orthonormalization process of Godunov and Conte (1966), the multiple shooting method (Keller(1968) and Osborne(1969)) and the Riccati transformation method (Scott(...

The results of an empirical study are presented to investigate the relationship between different action types (real versus virtual shooting) and different target types (real versus virtual targets) on the actual emotional state (well-being) of the player. The results show significantly that virtual shooting on real targets in a group (Laser-Tag game) enhances the well-being, and on the other s...
