Sistema de ejercicios auxiliares para la preparación técnico-coreográfica en viga de equilibrio para el equipo nacional femenino de gimnasia artística de Cuba (Original)

The Female Artistic Gymnastics, is considered within the Olympic Games as one of the sports most followed by the spectators, its high level of technical demand, elegance and difficulty in the exercises classify it as a competitive art sport. The balance beam one of the most spectacular events due to its height and space reduction is composed of acrobatic elements, with and without flight phase and gymnastic elements (dancers) such as jumps, turns, waves of trunk and arms. For each Olympic cycle changes are established by the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) in the Score Code, which govern the new requirements for all competitions where the balance beam event has not been exempt from changes as to the amount of elements that make up the selection as well as in the composition requirements and the increase of the difficulty, which influences in a decisive way in the conformation of the new selections for international competitions. The present work is directed to a detailed study of the technical-choreographic preparation of the Female National Artistic Gymnastics, since the choreographic preparation is the one that contributes to solve a series of aesthetic teaching tasks, fundamental for this sport in their union with art, however, it is noticed that, although the contents of choreographic preparation are determined, the dancing elements to dominate by ages, in this sport; In general, auxiliary exercises for the choreographic elements are lacking, so that the inclusion of the corporal artistic work is encouraged, according to the characteristics that the present competitive preparation presents from the artistic point of view.La Gimnasia Artística Femenina, es considerada dentro de los Juegos Olímpicos como uno de los deportes más seguidos por los espectadores, su alto nivel de exigencia técnica, elegancia y dificultad en los ejercicios la clasifican como deporte de arte competitivo. La viga de equilibrio uno de los eventos más espectaculares por su altura y reducción de espacio está compuesta por elementos acrobáticos, con y sin fase de vuelo y elementos gimnásticos (danzarios) como saltos, giros, olas de tronco y brazos. Para cada ciclo olímpico se establecen cambios por la Federación Internacional de Gimnasia (FIG) en el Código de Puntuación, que rigen las nuevas exigencias para todas las competencias donde el evento de viga de equilibrio no ha estado exento de cambios en cuanto a la cantidad de elementos que conforman la selección así como en los requisitos de composición y el aumento de la dificultad, lo que influye de manera determinante en la conformación de las nuevas selecciones para competencias internacionales. El presente trabajo está encaminado a un estudio pormenorizado de la preparación técnico-coreográfica de la Gimnasia Artística Femenina del Equipo Nacional, ya que la preparación coreográfica es la que contribuye a resolver una serie de tareas de enseñanza estética, fundamentales para este deporte en su unión con el arte; sin embargo, se advierte que, a pesar de que están determinados los contenidos de preparación coreográfica, los elementos danzarios a dominar por edades, en este deporte; de forma general, se  carece de ejercicios auxiliares para los elementos coreográficos, de manera que se propicie la inclusión del trabajo artístico corporal, a tenor de las  características que presenta la preparación competitiva actual desde el punto de vista artístico

Evaluation of turbulent dissipation rate retrievals from Doppler Cloud Radar

Turbulent dissipation rate retrievals from cloud radar Doppler velocity measurements are evaluated using independent, in situ observations in Arctic stratocumulus clouds. In situ validation data sets of dissipation rate are derived using sonic anemometer measurements from a tethered balloon and high frequency pressure variation observations from a research aircraft, both flown in proximity to stationary, ground-based radars. Modest biases are found among the data sets in particularly low- or high-turbulence regimes, but in general the radar-retrieved values correspond well with the in situ measurements. Root mean square differences are typically a factor of 4-6 relative to any given magnitude of dissipation rate. These differences are no larger than those found when comparing dissipation rates computed from tetheredballoon and meteorological tower-mounted sonic anemometer measurements made at spatial distances of a few hundred meters. Temporal lag analyses suggest that approximately half of the observed differences are due to spatial sampling considerations, such that the anticipated radar-based retrieval uncertainty is on the order of a factor of 2-3. Moreover, radar retrievals are clearly able to capture the vertical dissipation rate structure observed by the in situ sensors, while offering substantially more information on the time variability of turbulence profiles. Together these evaluations indicate that radar-based retrievals can, at a minimum, be used to determine the vertical structure of turbulence in Arctic stratocumulus clouds

Radon and material radiopurity assessment for the NEXT double beta decay experiment

The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT), intended to investigate the neutrinoless double beta decay using a high-pressure xenon gas TPC filled with Xe enriched in 136Xe at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in Spain, requires ultra-low background conditions demanding an exhaustive control of material radiopurity and environmental radon levels. An extensive material screening process is underway for several years based mainly on gamma-ray spectroscopy using ultra-low background germanium detectors in Canfranc but also on mass spectrometry techniques like GDMS and ICPMS. Components from shielding, pressure vessel, electroluminescence and high voltage elements and energy and tracking readout planes have been analyzed, helping in the final design of the experiment and in the construction of the background model. The latest measurements carried out will be presented and the implication on NEXT of their results will be discussed. The commissioning of the NEW detector, as a first step towards NEXT, has started in Canfranc; in-situ measurements of airborne radon levels were taken there to optimize the system for radon mitigation and will be shown too.Comment: Proceedings of the Low Radioactivity Techniques 2015 workshop (LRT2015), Seattle, March 201

Spectral modeling of scintillator for the NEMO-3 and SuperNEMO detectors

We have constructed a GEANT4-based detailed software model of photon transport in plastic scintillator blocks and have used it to study the NEMO-3 and SuperNEMO calorimeters employed in experiments designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. We compare our simulations to measurements using conversion electrons from a calibration source of $\rm ^{207}Bi$ and show that the agreement is improved if wavelength-dependent properties of the calorimeter are taken into account. In this article, we briefly describe our modeling approach and results of our studies.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figure
