The purpose of the study was to try to determine the factors that differentiate the height, weight, BMI and age of high-level handball players participating in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Methods: The study included handball players participating in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. The study material consisted of data on athletes’ body height, body weight, age and BMI. The collected study material was analyzed about the position of the game, quarter and semester of the birth, continental location of the country and geographical region. In parametric distribution, Student’s t-test and ANOVA were used. In non-parametric variables, the Mann–Whitney U-test and the Kruskal–Wallis test were used. Results: The highest average heights, weights and BMIs were found in players playing in the pivot position, while the lowest were found in wing players. Interactions were shown within the body weight and BMI of the athletes. Players from Europe have the highest weight and BMI in the second semester of birth, while other players’ highest results were in the first semester. Conclusions: The factors that most strongly differentiate body height, body weight, and BMI are playing positions. Factors that differentiate height and weight are the continental location and region of the country represented.

The paper analyses the accuracy of the determination of normal heights in the national spatial reference system using the PL-geoid-2011 quasi-geoid model. The heights were determined using the PL-EVRF2007-NH normal height system. The paper discusses the results of a measurement experiment consisting in measuring 8 points with the use of the Network Real Time Kinematic (NRTK) technique and the Virtual Reference Station (VRS) surface correction generated on the basis of the TPI NETpro commercial network of reference stations and with the use of two global satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS). In the experiment, three measurement schemes were evaluated in relation to the number of measurement epochs recorded above the designated point, as well as the order of recording points. The conducted measurement experiment allowed to determine which of the proposed schemes guarantees the best accuracy from the point of view of establishing a height measurement network with the use of the NRTK technique and VRS corrections. The tests showed that it is possible to determine the height difference between points using the NRTK technique and the VRS method with an accuracy of 0.01m. However, to ensure adequate accuracy, elevation differences must be defined as the differences of the measured heights and should be determined several times and based on independent measurements at the beginning and end of the levelling section. Thus, determining elevation differences with the use of the NRTK VRS technique may be particularly effective in areas with large differences in height, where the determination of elevation differences with the use of classical methods is time-consuming. The obtained elevation differences require tying to the points of the height control network with the use of classical methods.

W artykule przeprowadzono analizę dokładności wyznaczenia wysokości normalnych w państwowym systemie odniesień przestrzennych z użyciem modelu quasi-geoidy PL-geoid-2011. Wysokości wyznaczono w układzie wysokości normalnych PL-EVRF2007-NH. W artykule omówiono wyniki eksperymentu pomiarowego polegającego na pomiarze 8 punktów z użyciem techniki Network Real Time Kinematic (NRTK) i poprawki powierzchniowej Virtual Reference Station (VRS) wygenerowanych w oparciu o komercyjną sieć stacji referencyjnych TPI NETpro i z wykorzystaniem dwóch globalnych systemów satelitarnych (GSP i GLONASS). W eksperymencie walidowano trzy schematy pomiarowe różniące się ilością epok pomiarowych rejestrowanych nad wyznaczanym punktem, jak również kolejnością rejestracji punktów. Przeprowadzony eksperyment pomiarowy pozwolił określić, który z zaproponowanych schematów pozwala osiągnąć najlepsze dokładności z punktu widzenia zakładania wysokościowej osnowy pomiarowej z użyciem techniki NRTK i poprawek VRS. W badaniach wykazano, że możliwe jest określenie przewyższenia pomiędzy punktami z użyciem techniki NRTK i metody VRS z dokładnością 0.01m. Jednakże, aby zapewnić odpowiednią dokładności, przewyższenie musi być określane jako różnica pomierzonych wysokości i powinno być określane kilkukrotnie w oparciu o niezależne pomiary na początku i końcu odcinka niwelacyjnego. W związku z powyższym określenie przewyższeń z użyciem techniki NRTK VRS może mieć szczególnie efektywne zastosowanie w terenach o dużych różnicach wysokości, gdzie określenie przewyższeń z użyciem klasycznych metod jest czasochłonne. Otrzymane przewyższenia wymagają dowiązania do punktów szczegółowej osnowy wysokościowej z użyciem klasycznych metod.

Robinia pseudoacacia is considered as a multipurpose tree because of its great adaptability to face environmental stresses and restore degraded sites, its valuable wood, easy propagation, excellent coppicing potential especially for high yield biomass production, high seedling survival etc. This tree represents an interesting perspective in ecological engineering, agroforestry and urban forest. For this reason, understanding its growth dynamics falls within the criteria of forest and peri-urban sustainability. The effects of soil condition on the survival and growth of Robinia pseudoacacia planted on degraded and cultivated land, respectively in Monte Romano site and Azienda Agraria didattico-sperimentale "Nello Lupori" site, in Italy, were studied in a field transplant experiment using the analysis of variance. Cultivated land showed higher survival rate because of the better soil, topography and climatic conditions. Height and diameter growth responded differently to soil conditions and monitoring period. Mean height and diameter increases were higher in cultivated land. A significant difference in height was found between the initial and final periods in cultivated land. This study is considered important because the selected species can help improving the soil conditions of the selected site so in the future this area can be reforested with valuable wood species. This has to be taken into consideration especially for Albania when illegal logging has created a strong decrease of forest surface associated with soil erosion phenomenon, overflooding, as well as overuse of the forest for firewood to fulfill the people demand, especially in rural areas. In addition, honey production is an important agroforestry aspect and the flowers of Robinia pseudoacacia are known for the production of good quality honey; moreover they can be used as medicinal plants.

EN

Applications in geodesy and engineering surveying require the determination of the heights of the vertical control points in the national and local networks using different techniques. These techniques can be classified as geometric, trigonometric, barometric and Global Positioning System (GPS) levelling. The aim of this study is to analyse height differences obtained from these three techniques using precise digital level and digital level, total station (trigonometric levelling) and GPS which collects phase and code observations (GPS levelling). The accuracies of these methods are analysed. The results obtained show that the precise digital levelling is more stable and reliable than the other two methods. The results of the three levelling methods agree with each other within a few millimetres. The different levelling methods are compared. Geometric levelling is usually accepted as being more accurate than the other methods. The discrepancy between geometric levelling and short range trigonometric levelling is at the level of 8 millimetres. The accuracy of the short range trigonometric levelling is due the reciprocal and simultaneous observations of the zenith angles and slope distances over relative short distances of 250 m. The difference between the ellipsoidal height differences obtained from the GPS levelling used without geoid and the orthometric height differences obtained from precise geometric levelling is 4 millimetres. The geoid model which is obtained from a fifth order polynomial fit of the project area is good enough in this study. The discrepancy between the precise geometric and GPS levelling (with geoid corrections) is 4 millimetres over 5 km.

Vertical jump height is recognised as a determinant factor in elite volleyball performance. In previous studies there are different opinions on whether vertical jump height performance improves during maturation or not. The aim of this study was to assess the differences in jumping abilities in two different age groups of female volleyball players and to determine the take-off efficiency during repeated jumps. Methods: Seventeen female volleyball players from two different age categories – adults and under 16 years – participated in this study. Quattro Jump 9290BA force platform (Kistler, Winterthur, Switzerland) was used to assess the jumping performance during squat jumps, counter movement jumps, and 45-second continuous jumps. Results: Jumping performance did not differ significantly between the two groups. The main efficiency of the conversion of mechanical work into mechanical energy was only 24% and it decreased during the test. Conclusions: The influence of age on the jumping performance in a group of female volleyball players was not confirmed. Take-off efficiency was in both groups quite low and it did not improve during the test.

Ekrany akustyczne są jednym z najpopularniejszych i dotychczas najpowszechniej stosowanych rozwiązań ochrony przed hałasem na polskich drogach. Wynika to ze stosunkowo prostej, a przede wszystkim znanej technologii ich wykonania oraz wysokiej skuteczności redukcji hałasu. Ich stosowanie budzi często wiele kontrowersji dotyczących zasadności i potrzeby ich użycia, wynikających z dużych kosztów budowy, ograniczeń dostępności do drogi oraz niewielkich walorów estetycznych. Pomimo to dobrze zastosowane i spełniające określone warunki są urządzeniami skutecznymi, a w niektórych przypadkach jedynymi możliwymi zwłaszcza w przypadku niewielkiej ilości miejsca i zabudowie chronionej zlokalizowanej w bliskiej odległości od drogi. Z uwagi na istotny wpływ lokalizacji oraz wymiarów ekranu na skuteczność redukcji hałasu, a także duże koszty ich realizacji, w artykule zwrócono uwagę na poprawny dobór wielkości geometrycznych przy projektowaniu ekranów akustycznych.

EN

Acoustic barriers are one of the most popular and the most commonly used solutions to protect against traffic noise on Polish roads. This is due to the relatively simple and, above all, known technology of their implementation and the high effectiveness of noise reduction when certain conditions are complied. Their use, however, often cause a lot of controversy regarding the validity and need for their use, due to high construction costs, restrictions on access to the road and low aesthetic values. Despite this, well implemented and satisfying certain conditions, acoustic barrier is an effective device, and in some cases the only possible to use – especially when space is tight and protected buildings located in close proximity to the road. Due to the significant impact of the location and dimensions of the acoustic barrier on the noise reduction efficiency, as well as the high costs of their implementation, the article emphasizes the correct selection of geometric sizes in the design of acoustic barriers.

The main aim of the study was to propose a model for predicting the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) of Nigerian workers in a cement factory. Sixty randomly selected non-smoker and healthy workers (30 in production sections, 30 in the administrative section of the factory) participated in the study. Their physical characteristics and PEFR were measured. Multiple correlations using SPSS version 16.0 were performed on the data. The values of PEFR, using the obtained model, were compared with the measured values using a two-tailed t test. There were positive correlations among age, height and PEFR. A prediction equation for PEFR based on age, height, weight and years of exposure (experience) was obtained with R2 = .843 (p < 0.001). The developed model will be useful for the management in determining PEFR of workers in the cement industry for possible medical attention.

The human body balance system is a complex system of organs and mechanisms, which generate postural reactions to counter the displacement from the equilibrium position of the body centre of gravity, and which control eye movement in order to maintain a stable image of the environment. Computerised Dynamic Posturography (CDP) allows for a quantitative and objective assessment of the sensory and motor components of the body balance control system as well as of the integration and adaptive mechanisms in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to determine the differences, when maintaining body balance, based on the gender of young, healthy people using CDP. The study was carried out on a group of 43 healthy subjects by comparing the effectiveness of the balance system in 22 women and 21 men aged between 20 and 26 years, between 171 and 177 cm in height, and without any clinical symptoms of balance disorders. The men and women were selected such that they did not differ significantly in height and BMI. Using the Equitest posturograph manufactured by NeuroCom International Inc. the following tests were performed: Sensory Organisation Test (SOT), Motor Control Test (MCT) and the Adaptation Test (ADT). The gender of young healthy individuals without any clinical symptoms of balance disorders also does not affect the effectiveness of the sensory system and the use of this signal in maintaining body balance.

The paper presents test of the surface topography carried out on samples made of CMnAlSi steel after austenitizing treatment at 850°C, and then intercritical annealing at 500°C for 600 s and 300 s and cooling down from 800°C with cooling rate of 5°C/s. The analysis of surface topography was performed by the half-contact method which gave details of height, amplitude and phase imaging. The results of the measurements showed that, after etching in nital, the ferrite is stronger etched than other structural components, and is visible as the undermost dark areas (Figures 2, 3 a÷c). Conducted linear analysis and determination of the average surface roughness parameters Ra of the steel for the sample cooled with V = 5°C/s revealed the presence of ferrite, bainite and retained austenite (Fig. 6).

Analizę topografii powierzchni przeprowadzono metodą półkontaktu, uzyskując dane z wysokości, amplitudy drgań oraz obrazowania fazowego. W wyniku pomiarów wykazano, że trawienie w nitalu powoduje, iż ferryt trawi się najmocniej w porównaniu z pozostałymi składnikami strukturalnymi i jest widoczny jako ciemne obszary najniżej położone (rys. 2, 3a÷c). Przeprowadzona analiza liniowa oraz wyznaczenie parametru chropowatości Ra i średniej wysokości w stali dla próbki chłodzonej z V = 5°C/s wykazała występowanie ferrytu, bainitu oraz austenitu szczątkowego (rys. 6).

The human body’s posture control is a complex system of organs and mechanisms which controls the body’s centre of gravity (COG) over its base of support (BOS). Computerised Dynamic Posturography (CDP) allows for the quantitativeand objective assessment of the sensory and motor components of the body’s posture control system as well as of the integration and adaptation mechanisms in the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between the body’s height and BMI on CDP results in a group of young healthy women without any clinical symptoms of balance disorders. It was found that the MS depended significantly on the height and BMI of the subjects as well as on the SOT conditions. As the height and BMI increased the MS value decreased. The postural response latency (LC) in the MCT statistically significantly depended only on height and showed a positive correlation. The postural response latency increased with height. The postural response amplitude for both right and left lower limbs significantly depended on height and BMI, but only for the backward movement of the platform. The response amplitude for all platform translations under all MCT conditions increased with height and BMI. The body’s resultant imbalance caused by the platform perturbations in the ADT were greater in shorter people and those with a lower BMI.

Stanley and Callan considered Dyck paths where the lengths of the run to the origin is always odd resp. the last one even, and the other ones odd. These subclasses are also enumerated by (shifted) Catalan numbers. We study the (average) height of these objects, assuming all such Dyck paths of length 2n to be equally likely, and find that it behaves like ~ √πn, as in the unrestricted case. This classic result for unrestricted Dyck paths is from de Bruijn, Knuth and Rice [2], and to this day, there are no simpler proofs for this, although more general results have been obtained by Flajolet and Odlyzko [4].

A woven fabric structure is defined by mutual threads interlacing in the fabric as well as the basic parameters of the fabric. The interrelation among fabric parameters can be obtained by considering a geometrical model of the fabric and specific experimental methods. The geometrical model is mainly concerned with the shape taken up by the yarn in the warp or weft cross-section of the fabric. This article provides a possible methodology for evaluation of geometric parameters of threads in the real longitudinal and transverse cross-sections of fabric. From an individual cross-section of the fabric using image analysis it is possible to define the diameter of threads, their deformation, thread spacing, the maximum displacement (height of binding wave) of the thread axis, the angle of the thread axis (interlacing angle), the length of the thread axis in the cross-section of the fabric, the crimp of threads in the fabric, and the real shape of the binding wave through wave coordinates. The parameters mentioned are possible to use as input for mathematical modelling of the fabric structure and for prediction of mechanical and end-use properties of fabrics.

The calculation formulas of the combustion zone height in the coke-fired cupolas (coke pieces in the form of square based prisms and various dimensions) as well as the structure of combustion zone have been derived in the present work. The structure has been characterized with the following parameters: zone volume, mass of burning coke, number of burning coke pieces and their average dimensions, surface of development of coke pieces, number of their sequences, their volumes and surfaces in sequences, combustion time of coke cartridges, primary height of the filling coke and others. The presented examples illustrate practical calculations and describe the movement of coke from the melting zone to the combustion one as a continuous process at constant height of the combustion zone. Such an approach completely changes the models of combustion and melting processes proceeding at the interface of combustion and melting zones valid so far.

Użytkowanie wieloletnich roślin pastewnych, a w szczególności traw, związane jest z wielokrotnymi przejazdami ciągników i maszyn po powierzchni upraw, co prowadzi do zagęszczenia gleby, uszkodzenia odrastających pędów roślin i w konsekwencji powoduje obniżenie ich wydajności. W celu określenia wpływu ugniatania na plonowanie i wzrost tymotki łąkowej przeprowadzono trzyletnie badania w oparciu o doświadczenie polowe. Czynnikiem doświadczalnym były wielokrotne przejazdy kół ciągnika (1, 2, 4 i 6 krotne) z wydzieleniem obiektu kontrolnego, nieugniatanego. W okresie wegetacji wykonywano pomiary wysokości roślin w odstępach tygodniowych. Oznaczono również plony s.m. dla trzech pokosów w roku. Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników zaobserwowano trzy bardzo wyraźne fazy wzrostu roślin, różniące się dynamiką przyrostu. Zanotowano wpływ ugniatania na tempo wzrostu roślin, szczególnie widoczny w trakcie drugiego i trzeciego odrostu. Zmiany dynamiki wzrostu spowodowały również różnice w wydajności badanego gatunku.

Using perennial fodder plants, and in particular grass, involves repeated runs of tractors and machines on the cultivated areas. This leads to soil compaction, damage of shooting-up plant sprouts, and as a consequence lowers their productivity. A three-year study based on field experiment was carried out in order to determine the impact of soil packing on timothy grass cropping and growth. Repeated runs of tractor wheels (1, 2, 4 and 6 times) constituted the experimental factor, including the separation of an unpacked check object. The height of plants was measured every week during vegetation period. Moreover, the researchers determined dry matter crops for three swaths in a year. Obtained results showed three very distinct plant growth phases, differing in increment dynamics. The researchers confirmed soil packing impact on plant growth rate, especially visible for second and third sprout. Growth dynamics changes also generated differences in the productivity of a given species.

We studied the response in growth and phenology of naturally regenerated beech seedlings to changed ecological conditions over 14 and 19-years after cutting with different intensity. Five different types of stand densities were modelled: plot C - control plot - no cut, L - low intensity cut, M - medium intensity cut, H - high intensity cut and CC - clear cut, with 1, 8, 22, 53 and 100% of relative irradiation, and 66, 68, 78, 92 and 100% of through fall, respectively. We were focussing on tree height growth and leaf area. Our phenological observations were aimed at onset and course of two spring vegetative phenophases: bud-burst and leaf unfolding. Already in two-year-old beech seedlings we found significant differences in height growth; the differences in mean leaf area, however, were observed later. From the viewpoint of phenotypic plasticity, the height growth in beech seedlings represented more sensitive response to the environment than the leaf area. According to leaf area size and height growth in the beech seedlings on control plot, the stress conditions were indicated, primarily from the lacking light. With stand opening, the development of recruitment was getting better, and beginning with plot M the increase of seedlings height and leaf area became continuously related to the amount of radiation. The results of phenological observations showed that the spring phenophases in the seedlings start first on control plot. The start of spring phenophases on the clearcut was always observed the latest, even in comparison with the parent stand. Correlation analysis confirmed a significant correlation (P <0.05, r = -0.61) between the mean air temperature in March and April and start of the phenophase leafing in the individual years. Analysis of long-term research showed that the trend of leafing's onset observed in course of 18 years was significant (P <0.05), manifested a shift towards earlier dates.
