A Game Engine based Networked Infrastructure to Create and Share 3D Abstract Art

Online communities have been proactive in producing collaborative creative content such as music, games and other social interactions. Online collaboration has enabled contributors to peer produce and share masses of creative content. Examples range from information sharing such as Wikipedia to open source software and other specific art projects. Software vendors have recently introduced low cost 2D and 3D content authoring tools allowing user communities to generate and share creative content. Emerging networking programming interfaces available inside modern game engines allow contributors to implement multiplayer or multiuser interaction relatively easily. This paper presents a 3D art creation framework to be used over networked infrastructure in a multiuser environment. Contributors will be able to create 3D sculptures at runtime, share with other users in a common networked working environment and critique each other’s work. Experimental work also involved evaluating procedurally generated meshes versus instantiation of primitive mesh objects. Saving and loading mesh information in an optimum way is also explored

A CROSS-SECTIONAL ANALYSIS OF SKILL RELATED PHYSICAL FITNESS COMPONENTS OF KAYAKING AND ROWING PLAYERS

The present study was focused to contrast the level of Skill-Related Physical Fitness components of Kayaking and Rowing players. For this purpose, eighteen (N=18), male college level Kayaking and Rowing players of age group 18-25 years participated in the study. All the subjects, after having been informed about the objective and protocol of the study, gave their consent and volunteered to participate in this study. They were divided into two groups: Group-A: n1=9 kayaking players and Group-B: n2=9 rowing players. It is to measure the skill related physical fitness (agility, balance, coordination, power and speed) male inter- college kayaking and rowing players. To determine the significant differences between kayaking and rowing, unpaired t-test was employed for data analyses. It is concluded from the above analysis the study can be concluded that no significant difference were found among Kayaking and Rowing players on the sub- variables; Agility, Balance, Coordination and Power variables of physical fitness and highly Significant difference was found on Speed variable of physical fitness

A STUDY ON EMOTIONAL MATURITY AMONG INDIAN HOCKEY PLAYERS

The purpose of this study was to compare Emotional Maturity among sub-junior level, junior level and senior level Hockey Players. To obtain data, the investigators had selected Ninety Nine (N=99), Female subjects between the age group of 12-28 years (Mean ± SD: Age 16.90 ± 3.80 (yrs), Body Height 161.41 ± 4.97 (cm), Body Mass 52.36 ± 5.35 (kg)). For evaluating the levels of Emotional Maturity among subjects, Singh and Bhargava’s (1988) Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS) was used. This scale consists of five parameters namely: (Emotional Unstability, Emotional Regression, Social Maladjustment, Personality Disintegration and Lack of Independence). The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for all analyses. The differences in the mean of each group for selected variables were tested for the significance of difference by One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). For testing the hypotheses, the level of significance was set at 0.05. To conclude, it is significant to mention in relation to Emotional Unstability, Emotional Regression and Social Maladjustment that results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) among Hockey Players were found statistically insignificant (P > .05). Furthermore, in relation to Personality Disintegration and Lack of Independence that results of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) among Hockey Players were found statistically significant (P < .05).  Article visualizations

REVIEW OF EMERGING OPTICAL AND WIRELESS ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES

The bandwidth interest of telecommunication network is becoming quickly because of the rising number of technology-keen end-users. The arising optical and wireless access networks are consistently contending with one another to give these necessities to the end-users. The optical access networks give gigantic data rate and significant distance connect, yet it is less ubiquitous. The wireless access networks furnish adaptable and ubiquitous communication with a low sending cost. In any case, its organization adaptability is limited by the spectrum and reach impediments. The hybrid wireless optical broadband access network (WOBAN) is a strong mix of optical backhaul and wireless front-end to add to a decent versatility, financially savvy and adaptable communication system. This paper reviews the emerging optical and wireless access technologies

NORMS CONSTRUCTION AND GRADING FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST ITEMS

The present study was conducted to construct norms for selected physical fitness test items of handball players. For the purpose of the present study, fourty eight (N=48), male Handball players of Panjab University, Chandigarh between the age group of 18-25 years were selected as subjects. The Muscular Strength was measured by Handgrip Strength Test, Muscular Power was measured by Vertical Jump Test, Muscular Endurance was measured by Pull-Up Test, Running Speed was measured by 20-Meter Dash, Running Agility was measured by Illinois Agility Test, Jumping Ability was measured by Standing Long Jump Test, Throwing Ability was measured by Overhead Medicine Ball Throw Test, Flexibility was measured by Sit and Reach Flexibility Test and Balance was measured by Stork Balance Stand Test. The data, which was collected by administering tests, was statistically treated to develop for all the test items. In order to construct the norms, Percentile Scale was used. Further, the scores were classified into five grades i.e., very good, good, average, poor and very poor. In Muscular Strength, the mean score was 49.562 and standard deviation score was 3.679. In Muscular Power, the mean score was 48.062 and standard deviation score was 2.276. In Muscular Endurance, the mean score was 6.958 and standard deviation score was 1.098. In Running Speed, the mean score was 4.6354 and standard deviation score was 0.143. In Running Agility, the mean score was 17.606 and standard deviation was 0.834. In Jumping Ability, the mean score was 2.7260 and standard deviation was 0.415. In Throwing Ability, the mean score was 13.562 and standard deviation score was 0.976. In Flexibility, the mean score was 4.625 and standard deviation score was 0.832. In Balance, the mean score was 46.354 and standard deviation score was 1.561of Panjab University, Chandigarh.  Article visualizations

EFFECT OF SHORT-TERM CHANDRA NADI PRANAYAMA ON HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS: COMPARATIVE STUDY

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of short-term Chandra nadi pranayama on Hematological Parameters. Thirty, university level girls of Department of Physical Education (T), Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar between the age group of 21-26 years volunteered to participate in the study. The subjects from Group-A: Experimental, were subjected to a 3-week Chandra nadi pranayama. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows version 10.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL). Data is expressed as the Mean ± SD. Student t-test for Paired Samples was utilized to compare the means of the Pre-Test and the Post-Test. To test the Hypothesis, the level of significance was set at 0.05. To conclude, it is significant to mention in relation to Hemoglobin (Hb), Total Cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-Cholesterol), High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-Cholesterol) and Triglycerides (TG) that results of Paired Sample t-test were found statistically insignificant (P >.05).  Article visualizations
