Electronic personal trainer
No full textDanes se veliko več ljudi ukvarja s športom kot kdaj koli poprej, zato je dobra tehnična podprtost ključnega pomena, da je športna aktivnost zabavna in tehnično dovršena. Veliko profesionalnih in polprofesionalnih športnikov hrepeni po boljših rezultatih in pomoč išče pri osebnih trenerjih. Taka vrsta treninga je draga in zamudna. Ves koncept elektronskega osebnega trenerja ali Ianiste, kot smo ga poimenovali, sloni na tem, da je subjekt (v tem primeru športnik, ki želi dovršiti svojo fizično pripravljenost) pod konstantnim drobnogledom.
V diplomskem delu so tako opisani celotna ideja projekta ter cilji, ki smo jih uspeli realizirati, saj ta projekt zahteva veliko več znanja in finančnih vložkov, da bi ga lahko v celoti dokončali.Today, many more people are involved in sports than ever before, and therefore, good technical support is crucial for sporting activity to be fun and technically perfect. Many professional and semi-professional athletes long for better results and seek help from personal trainers. This kind of training is expensive and time consuming. The whole concept of an electronic personal trainer, or as we called it Ianista, is based on the fact that the subject (in this case, an athlete who wants to complete his physical readiness) under constant scrutiny.
The diploma paper describes the overall idea of the project and the goals that we have managed to realize, since the project requires much more knowledge and financial capability

LINE WIDTHS OF AND
No full textAuthor Institution:Collision broadened line widths of and were determined from high resolution spectra covering the bands for both absorbing molecules. The line widths encompassed the spectral regions of the (1200), (2000), (0111), (0201), (1001) and (0002) bands. The band notation is . The and measurements were obtained for samples at room temperature and the spectra were obtained for samples at and . The ) values are compared to best-fit calculated values given in an earlier study by R. A. Toth, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 40, 605-615 (1971)
How accurate is magnetic resonance imaging of brain function?
No full textSince it was introduced a decade ago, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has come to dominate research on the human brain. However, fMRI maps are based on secondary metabolic and hemodynamic events that follow neuronal activity, and not on the electrical activity itself. Therefore, the representation provided by fMRI cannot be assumed a priori to be exact. The accuracy of these maps depends on the spatial extent of the metabolic and hemodynamic changes induced by neuronal activity, and the role played by the vasculature in converting these changes to signals detected by magnetic resonance imaging. Significant progress has been made in both areas, suggesting that it is possible to obtain both spatially accurate and quantitative data on brain function from magnetic resonance methodologies
From light polarization to quantum physics: Supporting lower secondary school students’ transition from gestalt to functional thinking
No full textIn this paper, we present a new minimal mathematical conceptual approach to quantum mechanics using light polarization for lower secondary school students with the aim of bringing students closer to the so-called quantum mechanical way of thinking. We investigated how students think about some of the basic concepts and fundamental laws and we found that certain concepts are quite well-understandable in younger grades too. We studied the introduction of the so-called state circle, which can faithfully represent quantum mechanical formalism without involving students in abstract algebraic calculations. We then categorized and analyzed students’ thoughts on the superposition principle and the lack of trajectory, finding that the concept of measurement and the lack of trajectory were problematic. We explored that younger students tend to hold gestalt-like mental models of quantum concepts, while at the same time being able to use visualizations correctly for reasoning in the quantum realm. Overall, this paper provides evidence in favor of introducing basic features of quantum mechanics as early as in lower secondary school
Exploring the effect of a phenomenological teaching-learning sequence on lower secondary school students’ views of light polarisation
No full textThe wave model of light in general, and the phenomenon of light polarisation in particular, are difficult topics for secondary school students. Prior research has indicated that a model-free phenomenological teaching approach may be fruitful in helping students overcome some of the widespread learning obstacles. These phenomenological approaches are characterised by their departure from abstract and mechanistic models of light, opting instead to prioritise students’ observations throughout the exploration of phenomena and experiments, unburdened by mathematical formalism or theoretical models. In this paper, we present a three-lessons phenomenological teaching-learning sequence on light polarisation. We evaluated of the teaching concept in classroom practise and analysed ways of thinking about light polarisation among N = 110 students (aged 12-14 years) who participated in the intervention using qualitative content analysis of free-text responses. The results provide preliminary empirical evidence that the presented instructional approach can contribute to the development of a qualitative understanding of polarisation among learners in introductory optics
