Low cloud response to aerosol‐radiation‐cloud interactions: Idealized WRF numerical experiments for EUREC4A project

Abstract Aerosols significantly affect cloud microphysics and energy budget in different ways. The contribution of the direct, semi‐direct, and indirect effects of aerosols on radiation are here investigated over the North Atlantic tropical...

Fixed field alternating gradient accelerator with small orbit shift and tune excursion

A new design principle of a nonscaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator is proposed. It is based on optics that produce approximate scaling properties. A large field index k is chosen to squeeze the orbit shift as much as possib...

An analysis of school physical activity in adolescent girls [Analýza školní pohybové aktivity adolescentních dívek]

BACKGROUND: It has been well evidenced that physical activity (PA) has a positive effect on human health. It is very likely that a physically active child will grow up to be a physically active adult. Growing older, there is evidence of dec...

Background: It has been shown that whole body vibration training has an effect on strength and balance in athletes of various sports.Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) trai...

Application of Instrumented Paddles in Measuring On-Water Kinetics of Front and Back Paddlers in K2 Sprint Kayaking Crews of Various Ability Levels

This study used instrumented paddles to obtain on-water kinetic variables of two-seater (K2) crews during sprint kayaking. A total of 74 male kayakers of various ability levels (national team: 9, recreational club: 38, school team: 27) comp...

Self-Concept and Self-Esteem: Relevant Variables in the Life Satisfaction of Teachers

Over the last two decades, the number of people who practice activities in the natural environment has increased and the demand for teachers for these activities has grown. It is necessary to analyze the impact of different psychosocial and...

METHOD OF CONVERSATION IN PSYCHODIAGNOSTICS BY PROJECTIVE METHODS IN WORKING WITH STUDENTS OF NAUTICAL SPECIALTIES

Is health-related quality of life the same for elderly polish migrants, Turkish migrants and German natives? Testing the reliability and construct validity of the Sf-36 health survey in a cross-cultural comparison

Objective: The Sf-36 is the most widely used instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with the most convincing evidence of both internal consistency and test–retest reliability. In addition, it is appropriate for use amo...
