The strength-training benefits of paddles depend largely on a swimmer's awareness of hand speed. If a hand paddle increases the area of the swimmer's propulsive surface, and the swimmer moves the hand with the paddle at the same speed as without the paddle, the swimmer will generate more propulsion. However, because of the larger surface area, a swimmer will naturally move the hand through the water more slowly with the paddle than without at first. The strength-training benefit depends on the swimmer gradually increasing the hand speed when wearing paddles. 2, record 1, English, - hand%20paddle

Debonding between layers that are initially stuck together is an important potential distress mode in multilayered structures. The risk may be the bond between the support and the long-life pavement surface layers... or between the binder course and the wearing course in the case of a two-layer composite surface course. The main cause of debonding is traffic, which can induce debonding... Variations of temperature with depth and time and intrusion of water(or water condensation) between layers can exacerbate the mechanism. 2, record 2, English, - debonding

Cellular-steel floors. Light-gage steel decking is frequently used in modern office buildings. ... In earlier floors of this type, the steel decking was assumed to be structurally independent. In that case, the concrete fill served only to provide fire resistance and a level floor. Most modern deckings are bonded or locked to the concrete, so that the two materials act as a unit. 1, record 12, English, - concrete%20fill

Plantar capsule-ligament sprain of the great toe metatarsophalangeal joint, herein referred to as "turf-toe, "is discussed with emphasis on two apparently predisposing factors, playing surface hardness and shoe stiffness. Surface hardness studies have previously been performed by the authors on natural grass and AstroTurf. A study of football shoe flexibility is presented and the results correlated with the occurrence of stiff conventional seven posted football shoes or the more flexible soccer style shoe on natural grass fields. We have found it to be a not uncommon injury among players wearing the soccer style shoe on AstroTurf. 2, record 13, English, - turf%2Dtoe

[Avalanche Victim Search. ] The initial search involves a fast scan of the entire area where victims might be found(that is, from the last seen point, within the perimeters of the avalanche, and in the deposition areas). It concentrates on likely areas of burial in addition to listening for transceiver signals and looking for clues on the surface. Initial searchers should be equipped with transceivers, probe, and shovel as well as a few wands if available. Do a visual search for clues on the surface(that is, hand, foot, clothing, and equipment). Call out occasionally and listen for responses from victims. Pull any items found out on the snow to see if a victim is attached. Mark the location of found items and bring them to the attention of the rescue leader. Listen carefully for transceiver signals in these locations.(If victims were not wearing transceivers or if is unknown whether transceivers were used, quickly probe the area around found items.) If a transceiver signal is found, carry out a transceiver search. If there is more than one person buried, the initial search continues to look for visual clues, etc. 2, record 15, English, - visual%20search%20for%20surface%20clues
