Bud burst and flowering phenology in a mixed oak forest from Eastern Romania

Bud burst and flowering phenology have been observed in year 2008 ina natural white oak species complex situated in eastern Romania. A total of 300 mature individuals was mapped and identified based on leaf morphology. The community consists of four oak species: Quercus pedunculiflora, Q. robur, Q. pubescens and Q. petraea. A set of 28 individuals could not be unambiguously classified to one or another species. Data on bud burst showed a normal distribution and the differences among species were small. The "very late" flushing was recorded on 15th of April, three weeks later when compared to early flushing individuals. The time period between the bud burst and the complete development of leaves was nearly the same in all oak species, varying on average, between 18.4 and 20.6 days. The spatialdistribution of phenological groups within the complex appears to be non-randomly, because in many parts of the study plot exist groups in which most of the trees belong to the same phenological category. Our results indicate an overlap in flowering time for all oak species which occur in the area. The data support the hypothesis that interspecific gene flow is possible between closely related oak species

TENNIS RACKET STRING TENSION AND ITS DURABILITY. CASE STUDY

In junior tennis, the objectives and the content of training for 15-16 year old players is, according to Doboși & Baciu (2004), mainly oriented towards elements like physical development, the increase of effort capacity of the body in submaximal and maximal efforts, development of specific skills of the limbs and hit involved segments, the improvement of preparation mechanisms for the main technical elements or the improvement of the tactical content of the main technical elements. This research is aiming a secondary aspect of junior tennis, and that is the identification and monitoring of the tennis racket’s characteristics while using different stringing tensions. Our attention was oriented towards a characteristic of tennis, and that is the financial cost of practicing this sport: coach, trainer, court, equipment and so on. Studiu de caz. Tensiunea cordajului rachetei de tenis și durabilitatea acestuia. În tenisul de câmp practicat la nivelul juniorilor de 15-16 ani, obiectivele și conținutul pregătirii pe factorii antrenamentului, conform Doboși & Baciu (2004), au ca direcții dezvoltarea fizică armonioasă, creșterea capacității de efort a organismului la eforturi submaximale și maximale, dezvoltarea la parametri superiori a îndemânării specifice la nivelul segmentelor de primă importanță pentru deplasarea și lovirea mingii, perfecționarea mecanismelor de preparație a procedeelor tehnice sau perfecționarea la parametrii crescuți de eficiență a conținutului tactic al procedeelor tehnice de bază. Am acordat o atenție specială unui aspect secundar al performanței în tenisul de câmp, această cercetare îndreptându-se spre identificarea și monitorizarea caracteristicilor rachetei de tenis odată cu variația tensiunii cordajului. În plus, am vizat și o caracteristică importantă a tenisului de câmp și anume costurile ridicate ale practicării acestui sport: antrenor, teren de joc, echipament.  Cuvinte-cheie: sport, tenis, junior, cordaj, tensiune, durabilitate

THE PARENTAL INFLUENCE ON JUNIOR TENNIS PLAYERS

This study has been made in order to better understand de role played by parents in obtaining tennis success by their children. In order to identify both positive and negative parental behaviours and strategies for maximising junior success by an efficient player-coach-parent triad. For reaching these goals a number of 14 junior tennis coaches in Cluj-Napoca answered a questionnaire. Results show that coaches think that parental involvement is crucial for success in junior tennis. Some principles related to the parental behaviour were identified as follows: the high expectations of parents because of the important financial investment, the opinion that tennis can produce a special parent-child relationship if correctly approached and the efficiency of parenting that enfacises virtues like fair-play or hard work, and not victory as the supreme goal. The coaches’ answers enfacised the coaches’ opinion that parents underscore victory and often have irrealistic expectations. On the other side, positive parental behaviour was related to the financial, logistic, social, emotional support and also to the sacrifices made by parents for providing opportunities for their children in order that they achieve success. Influența părinților asupra jucătorului de tenis junior. Acest studiu a fost efectuat pentru a înțelege mai bine rolul pe care părinții îl joacă în obținerea succesului în tenis. A fost alcătuit un eșantion format din antrenori de tenis de pe raza municipiului Cluj-Napoca pentru a identifica acele comportamente ale părinților care sunt eficiente și a celor care sunt ineficiente, precum și strategii pentru maximizarea succesului printr-un parteneriat între jucător, antrenor și părinte. Pentru îndeplinirea acestor obiective, s-a aplicat un chestionar unui număr de 14 antrenori de tenis ai jucătorilor juniori din Cluj-Napoca. Rezultatele relevă faptul că antrenorii au calificat implicarea parentală ca fiind crucială pentru succesul în tenis. Au fost identificate și unele principii referitoare la comportamentul părinților precum așteptările ridicate ale părinților, dată fiind investiția financiară importantă, eficiența parentingului care nu pune accent pe victorie ci pe virtuți precum fair-playul și munca asiduă sau opinia că tenisul, abordat corect, poate produce o relație părinte-copil specială. Răspunsurile la chestionar au evidențiat părerea antrenorilor că părinții subliniază prea mult importanța victoriei și deseori au așteptări irealiste. Pe de altă parte, comportamentele parentale pozitive s-au axat pe sprijinul oferit (financiar, logistic, social și emoțional) și sacrificiile făcute pentru furnizarea de oportunități pentru copiii lor astfel încât aceștia să poată să aibă succes.

An earthquake-source-based metric for seismic fragility analysis

The seismic fragility of a system is the probability that the system enters a damage state under seismic ground motions with specified characteristics. Plots of the seismic fragilities with respect to scalar ground motion intensity measures are called fragility curves. Recent studies show that fragility curves may not be satisfactory measures for structural seismic performance, since scalar intensity measures cannot comprehensively characterize site seismicity. The limitations of traditional seismic intensity measures, e.g., peak ground acceleration or pseudo-spectral acceleration, are shown and discussed in detail. A bivariate vector with coordinates moment magnitude m and source-to-site distance r is proposed as an alternative seismic intensity measure. Implicitly, fragility surfaces in the (m, r)-space could be used as graphical representations of seismic fragility. Unlike fragility curves, which are functions of scalar intensity measures, fragility surfaces are characterized by two earthquake-hazard parameters, (m, r). The calculation of fragility surfaces may be computationally expensive for complex systems. Thus, as solutions to this issue, a bi-variate log-normal parametric model and an efficient calculation method, based on stochastic-reduced-order models, for fragility surfaces are proposed.</p
