...2. Biomechanics of Playing the Piano: Katie Tobik 2.1 Introduction to the Piano The piano is technically an acoustic stringed instrument. It has 88 keys and has a pitch range from A0 to C8. When a key is depressed, it allows a padded tiny hammer to strike a string creating a pitch. 2.1a Basic Mechanism of Playing The piano requires great dexterity and muscle control in the fingers when played at a high level. There are 27 bones and 36 muscles involved in the movement of each hand. This creates a complex biomechanics problem to solve because of a large number of degrees of freedom. (Furuya) When striking a key, a force is generated from the fingertip to the piano key in order to depress it. (Minetti) There is an initial force when...

...An Introduction From David Collier ECB Chief Executive The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) produced the original version of “Safe Hands” in the autumn of 2003. That document was prefaced by the ECB giving its firm and enthusiastic commitment to ensuring cricket provides a safe, friendly and enjoyable experience for children. As the ECB’s Chief Executive I give a continuing commitment to that pledge. “Safe Hands” is reviewed and updated annually. Adopting and implementing “Safe Hands” remains a requirement of affiliation to the ECB, and the “Safe Hands” Safeguarding Programme continues to provide a core theme of the ECB club accreditation programme, ECB Clubmark. As the National Governing Body for cricket we take our responsibility for the well-being of the game extremely seriously. We want the millions of people throughout England and Wales who enjoy our national summer sport, across all ages and from a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, to have a positive experience, whatever their involvement. We also want to play our part in helping children achieve the best possible outcomes and we are confident of the important role sport can play in helping children be safe, healthy and involved in their communities. This Safeguarding Policy provides our sport with tools to ensure the whole game takes up the challenge of continuously improving the participation conditions for children. By participation, we mean not just playing the game, but being involved in their...

...HANDS ON DATABASE by Steve Conger © 2010 Hands ON Database Introduction Many students taking an introductory database course need hands-on experience. Typically they are under pressure to finish quickly with a certificate or degree and get to work. They need to get actual practice in the process of designing and developing databases that they can apply in their future employment. They need to create tables, enter data, and run SQL queries. This book is designed for them. Hands on Database: an Introduction to Database Design and Development focuses on the process of creating a database. It guides the student through the initial conception of the database. It covers gathering of requirements and business rules, the logical and physical design and the testing of the database. It does this through a continuous narrative that follows a student, Sharon, as she designs and constructs a database to track the tutoring program at her school. It shows some of her missteps as well as her successes. Students get hands-on experience by doing practices and developing scenarios that parallel the narrative. After completing this book students will have a good sense of what is involved in developing and creating a database. Below is a list of the book outcomes. A student who has completed this book will be able to give a general definition of a relational database to identify a variety of ways to gather database requirements to define business rules for a database to create an...

... September 26, 2010 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome As the numbers of computers used in the home and the workplace has escalated in recent years, the number of cases of carpal tunnel syndrome has also risen dramatically. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a hand disorder that is often associated with computer use. The term for this condition comes from the name for a canal (the carpal tunnel) located in the wrist. Several tendons pass through this tunnel, allowing the hand to open and close. Carpal tunnel syndrome results from repetitive motion, such as keyboarding, for hours at a time. This motion may cause swelling to develop around the tendons and carpal tunnel. The swelling compresses the nerve. The people most likely to develop carpal tunnel syndrome are workers whose job require them to perform repetitive hand and finger motions. Symptoms The symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome include the following: * Tingling or burning in the hands or fingers * Weakness or numbness in the hands or fingers * Hands that goes to sleep frequently * Difficulty opening or closing the hands * Pain that stems from the wrist and travels up the arms Tips for Prevention If you use a keyboard for extended periods, you should practice proper techniques to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. * While seated, hold your...

Abstract: Hand gesture password might be the most natural and intuitive way to communicate between people and machines, since it closely mimics how human interact with each other. Its intuitiveness and naturalness have spawned many applications in exploring large and complex data, computer games, virtual reality, health care, etc. Although the market for hand gesture password is huge, building a robust hand gesture recognition system remains a challenging problem for traditional vision-based approaches, which are greatly limited by the quality of the input from optical sensors. In this paper, we use their gesture in order to login or authenticate to the system. And then we introduce a novel method to create a gesture pattern that act as a password. This hand gesture recognition system performs robustly despite variations in hand orientation, scale or articulation. Moreover, it works well in uncontrolled environments with background clusters. Key words: Password Recognition, Authentication, Gesture password INTRODUCTION The advent of relatively cheap image and depth sensors has spurred research in the field of object tracking and gesture recognition. One of the more popular devices used to do this type of research is...

...and a vector layer on top of it, but you can add and delete layers as you wish (using either the or buttons next to “Layers”, or the menu Layer). The names of the layers can be changed to represent what you've put in each by double-clicking on the name of the layer in the timeline. A window will pop up, allowing you to edit the layer's name. Click OK when you have changed it to the name you want and the new name will appear in the timeline. Each layer has a track which enables you to change it as a function of time. This is done by inserting keys (the little gray rectangles) at certain frames in the track. Each key contains information about what the layer should show or produce at the frame where the key is located. To add or delete keys at a particular frame in a layer track, use the or buttons next to “Keys” (shortcut: type “return” to create a new frame). For image layers (ie bitmap and vector), each key corresponds to a different image. The sequence of these images creates an animation. The current frame is indicated by the red bar and can be changed by moving the red bar to scrub through your animation (or use the left and right arrows). To play the animation, use the controls in the time line. Note that you can loop the animation, as well as set the number of frames per seconds. (note, you can loop and change the frame rate of the animation whilst the animation is playing; this is great in terms of frame rate to find the best speed of your animation)...
