Recently, with the development of information and communication technology and the Internet of Things (IoT), observation technology using sensors is being applied in a variety of ways, such as using a sensor to observe rainfall in an unmeasured area. In this study, the relationship between the rainfall sensor signal (S) and the amount of rainfall (R) was developed through an experiment in an artificial rainfall generator, and the applicability was evaluated through outdoor observation. The coefficient of determination of the relational expression developed through the indoor experiment was 0.95, the mean absolute error was 2.66 mm/hr, the root mean square error was 3.87 mm/hr, the efficiency coefficient was 0.89, and the concordance index was 0.97, showing very high reliability. In the outdoor test results, the error rate was 7.96% when comparing the data from the rainfall sensors in vehicles and the precipitation station, which were not observed at the same location. Despite such errors, it is judged that accurate rainfall observation using a rainfall sensor is possible in an area where a precipitation station is not installed.

The aim of vocational education is to produce employees who are ready to work, a characteristic of vocational education is through the implementation of apprenticeship. In the period 2010-2015 in Indonesia the labor force declined from vocational schools compared to senior high schools. This indicates the need for 21st century skill is called a tool for work, namely the skill to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This article is intended to find out the relationship between apprenticeship and ICT in vocational students who carry out apprenticeship in the province of West Java. From the instrument distributed in 520 samples, it was found that there is a relationship between apprenticeship training and ICT through the value of Zcount = 7.16 > Ztable = 2.58, with the coefficient of determination of (ry)2 = (0.315)2 = 0.0992. This shows that apprenticeship contributions affect ICT skill by 9.92% for students who carry out apprenticeship in the West Java province of Indonesia, while 90.08% is influenced by other factors.

The spatial distribution of precipitation is one of the most important climatic variables used in geographic and environmental studies. However, when there is a lack of full coverage of meteorological stations, precipitation estimations are necessary to interpolate precipitation for larger areas. The purpose of this research was to find the best interpolation method for precipitation mapping in the partly densely populated Khorasan Razavi province of northeastern Iran. To achieve this, we compared five methods by applying average precipitation data from 97 rain gauge stations in that province for a period of 20 years (1994–2014): Inverse Distance Weighting, Radial Basis Functions (Completely Regularized Spline, Spline with Tension, Multiquadric, Inverse Multiquadric, Thin Plate Spline), Kriging (Simple, Ordinary, Universal), Co-Kriging (Simple, Ordinary, Universal) with an auxiliary elevation parameter, and non-linear Regression. Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and the Coefficient of Determination (R2) were used to determine the best-performing method of precipitation interpolation. Our study shows that Ordinary Co-Kriging with an auxiliary elevation parameter was the best method for determining the distribution of annual precipitation for this region, showing the highest coefficient of determination of 0.46% between estimated and observed values. Therefore, the application of this method of precipitation mapping would form a mandatory base for regional planning and policy making in the arid to semi-arid Khorasan Razavi province during the future.

The aim of this study was to identify the form of the dependence describing the relationship between rainfall (P) and the curve number (CN) parameter using the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS-CN) method in the mountain catchments of the Western Carpathians. The study was carried out in 28 catchments areas in the Western Carpathians in the Upper Vistula Basin, Poland. The study was conducted in the following stages: determination of the volume of the direct runoff using the NRCS-CN method, determination of the P–CN relationship using asymptotic functions, kinetic equation and complementary error function; determination of the volume of the direct runoff from the catchment area, accounting for the correction of the decline; determination of the value of the efficiency coefficient of the analysed models. On the basis of the conducted study, a strong relationship was found between the direct runoff and the rainfall that caused it. The study showed that the empirical values of the CN parameter differed from the values determined on the basis of the volume of rainfall and runoff. The vast majority of study catchments were characterised by a standard P–CN relationship. The kinetic model was found to be the best model to describe the P–CN relationship. The asymptotic model showed the greatest stability for high rainfall episodes. It was shown that the application of the catchment slope correction improved the quality of the NRCS-CN model.

An artificial neural network (ANN) model with six hydrological factors including time of concentration (TC), curve number, slope, imperviousness, area and input discharge as input parameters and number of check dams (NCD) as output parameters was developed and created using GIS and field surveys. The performance of this model was assessed by the coefficient of determination R2, root mean square error (RMSE), values account and mean absolute error (MAE). The results showed that the computed values of NCD using ANN with a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) model regarding RMSE, MAE, values adjustment factor (VAF), and R2 (1.75, 1.25, 90.74, and 0.97) for training, (1.34, 0.89, 97.52, and 0.99) for validation and (0.53, 0.8, 98.32, and 0.99) for test stage, respectively, were in close agreement with their respective values in the watershed. Finally, the sensitivity analysis showed that the area, TC and curve number were the most effective parameters in estimating the number of check dams.

  En el fútbol la posibilidad de generar tiros estáticos con alta velocidad, puede determinar el resultado de un juego al disminuir la posibilidad de reacción del guardameta. La investigación se planteó analizar las características antropométricas con la velocidad del balón en el fútbol. Se evaluaron 17 futbolistas masculinos de la selección del estado Barinas categoría sub-20. (173,2 cm ±6,9 y 65 kg ±7,8). Las variables antropométricas se recolectaron según protocolo de ISAK, para la valoración de la proporcionalidad y la composición corporal se utilizó el método escalable, comparándose mediante un prototipo ontogénico deportivo; se aplicó una prueba de la velocidad pico del balón en el tiro estático sin intención de precisión utilizando un radar doopler para el registro de las velocidades. Los resultados muestran que existe una correlación significativa (<,05) directa para el índice Z de la altura ileoespinal, e inversa para el índice Z del panículo del muslo con respecto a la velocidad máxima del balón en el tiro estático, ambas correlaciones presentan un coeficiente de determinación de 24% y 25,8% respectivamente. No se hallaron correlaciones (>,05) para los índices Z de la altura tibial lateral, la longitud trocánter tibial lateral, ni para el área magra del muslo con la velocidad máxima del balón. De esta manera la menor acumulación de tejido adiposo y mayor altura del miembro inferior se consideran variables relacionadas a la generación de mayores velocidades con el balón. Abstract. In Soccer the possibility of generating static shots with high speed can determine the outcome of a game to reduce the chance of reaction of the goal keeper. This research study analyzes the relationship of body proportionality and body composition with maximum ball speed shooting of soccer. 17 male players under the age of 20 (U-20) of Barinas State (173.2 cm ± 6.9 and 65 ± 7.8 kg) were evaluated. The anthropometric variables were collected according to ISAK protocol. For the assessment of proportionality and body composition scalable method was used being compared through an ontogenetic sport prototype. A test of peak ball velocity was applied in the static shot without focusing on precision using a doopler radar to record speeds. The results show that there is a significant direct correlation (<.05) for Z ileoespinal height index, and inverse for Z index panículo thigh with respect to the maximum speed of the ball in the static shot. Both correlations present a coefficient of determination of 24% and 25.8% respectively. No correlations (> -.05) were found for the Z indices of lateral tibial height, lateral tibial length trochanter or for the lean thigh area with the maximum speed of the ball. Therefore, the lower accumulation of adipose tissue and greater height of the lower limb are considered variables related to the generation of higher velocities with the ball.
