There are several ways to improve the volley ball serve and increase the likelihood that it will result in an ace or a serve that cannot be returned and results in a point for the offensive team. The main goal when seeking to increase the likelihood that a serve results in an ace is to minimize the time the ball spends in the air and increase the speed of the ball. This will reduce the amount of time the opposing team has to react, forcing them to react faster than their normal reaction time would dictate. In this analysis of the kinematics ...

Abstract

Vigilance decrement is one area that psychologists have always worked hard on in order to provide the best methods to top it. In essence, there are several negative effects of vigilance decrement. The loss of concentration when doing something over a long period of time hinders the effective performance of a given task. As such, these problems may seem to be negligible, but in the real situation they have many adverse effects. Completely stopping vigilance decrement is to some extent impossible. This is because of the human nature to lose concentration when exposed to the same task for a long time. What ...

The primary question I asked myself at the beginning of this quarter is how much I know about live rock performances. I have always thought of live rock performances like a combination of instrumental and rhythmic music, and from the concert that I witnessed, it proved to be more than that. For starters, rock is a genre of popular music whose origin can be traced to 1940’s rock and roll. Like other forms of pop music, rock lyrics address a wide range of theme – from love, relationships and normal life activities. It is with such background in rock music that I ...

This means that the subordinates must always follow him and wait for his instructions. Core to this model is the assumption that the follower is entirely dependent on the ...

The choreography of the piece seemed simple, clean, and made it easy to focus on other elements of what was going on during the performance. The movements were very sharp, graceful, and done with grace and elegance.

The performance was well done. I had never seen an all-male version ...

Introduction to Use of Silica in Sampling of Plant Compounds

Liquid chromatography is the most widely accepted and fundamental methodology for the separation and sampling of plant compounds. Liquid chromatography has the abilities to separate and sample a huge variety and diverse range of organic compounds ranging from proteins and peptides to small molecule protein drugs. The liquid chromatography is a technique that works by placing or injecting a minute volume of liquid sample into a silicon tube which is packed with porous substances or particles. This phase is called the stationary phase. The next phase is the extraction phase where the individual compounds present in the sample are transported over a packed tube ...
