They have been prepared by World Para Athletics to implement the requirements of the 2015 IPC Athlete Classification Code and International Standards. 1.2 The Classification Rules have been adopted by World Para Athletics on 15 March 2017. 1.3 These Classification Rules refer to a number of Appendices. These Appendices form an integral part of the Classification Rules. 1.4 These Classification Rules form part of the World Para Athletics Rules and Regulations. 1.5 The Classification Rules are supplemented by a number of Classification forms that have been prepared to assist Athlete Evaluation. These forms are available from World Para Athletics, and may be amended by World Para Athletics from time to time. Classification 1.6 Classification is undertaken to: a) define who is eligible to compete in Para sport and consequently who has the opportunity to reach the goal of becoming a Paralympic Athlete; and b) group Athletes into Sport Classes which aim to ensure that the impact of Impairment is minimised and sporting excellence determines which Athlete or team is ultimately victorious. Application 1.7 These Classification Rules apply to all Athletes and Athlete Support Personnel who are registered and/or licensed with World Para Athletics, and/or participate in any Events or Competitions organised, authorised or recognised by World Para Athletics.

    I I I 2001 Perennial Initiation Point Project I Prepared By Eric Krausz, Ruby Peone, and Sondra Collins Timber, Fish, and Wildlife Biologists I Colville Confederated Tribes! Spokane Tribe oflndians I Introduction During the Forest and Fish discussions the default initiation point of perennial stream I flow was established for the eastern Washington watersheds at a basin area of 300 acres. This point would be used to delineate between the type 4!5 break under the present water typing system. Under the new water typing criteria this point will be used to determine I the upper most flow of type N (non-fish bearing) waters. Type N waters are further sub­ divided into two categories: perennial (Np) segments that do not dry up, and seasonal (Ns) segments that do become dry in a year of normal rainfall. Type Np streams require I partial forest buffering and other protections during forest practices (logging, road maintenance) not required for Ns streams. I I The Perennial Initiation Point (PIP) Pilot Project was created to collect baseline data supporting adaptive management related to water typing in headwater streams. The field sample protocol for this project was developed in order to identifY locations in streams I where continuous perennial flow and spatially intermittent perennial flow are found. In ( addition, the validity of the default 300-acre (eastern W A) basin area was to be tested, addressing one of the L-2 questions on CMER's priority list of unresolved issues. I Currently, the West-side default lies at 52 acres. However, Pre-200l PIP data collected from Hydrologist Curt Veldhuisen of the Skagit System suggested a much lower basin I size of 21 acres.

    Das Klassifizierungssystem der paralympischen Sportarten Bundesinstitut für Sportwissenschaft (BISp) Fachbereich II – Wissenschaftliche Beratung Fachgebiet Sportanlagen und Sportgeräte Graurheindorfer Str. 198 53117 Bonn Tel.: 0 228 99 640 0 Fax: 0 228 99 640 9008 E-Mail: [email protected] Internet: www.bisp.de Stand: Februar 2008 Wir helfen dem Sport … 2 Warum eine Klassifizierung? Die folgenden Kapitel geben eine Übersicht über das Klassifizierungssystem der paralympischen Sportarten wieder. Die vollständigen, aktuellen Klassifizierungen erhalten Sie auf Anfrage bei den jeweiligen Sportfachverbänden des paralympischen Sports oder beim Internationalen Paralympischen Komitee (IPC). Der Zweck der Klassifizierung ist auch diejenigen zur aktiven Teilnahme am Wett- kampfsport zu motivieren, die aufgrund körperlicher Nachteile keine Chance auf eine er- folgreiche Teilnahme hätten. Die Anwendung von Klassifizierungssystemen fasst die Teilnehmer1 einer Sportart in ähn- liche Gruppen zusammen, so dass die Leistungen untereinander vergleichbar sind und sich die Chance vergrößert, gleichwertige und spannende Wettkämpfe zu erleben. In vielen Sportarten versucht man, zumindest die körperbehinderten Sportler funktionell zu klassifizieren, d. h. man achtet auf die Bewegungen, welche die Athleten unterschiedlicher Behinderungsarten gemeinsam haben. So sind bei den Rollstuhldisziplinen beinamputierte oder sogar spastisch gelähmte Sportler den querschnitt- oder poliogelähmten Athleten zugeordnet. Die Klassifizierungen bleiben aber im Behindertensport umstritten. Zu viele Klassen beeinträchtigen die Attraktivität des Sports und so wird weiterhin nach anderen Bewer- tungskriterien gesucht, die die Leistungen untereinander vergleichbar machen. Gab es bei den paralympischen Winterspielen in Salt Lake City 2002 noch 86 Entscheidungen, so waren es in Turin 2006 noch 52 in 5 Sportarten. Das Reglement wurde dahingehend verändert, das möglichst viele Sportler in einem Wettbewerb starten sollen, wobei die Handicapunterschiede durch Zeitgutschriften ausgeglichen werden.

  • Para Athletics Classification Are You, Or Do You Know Someone Who May Be, Interested in Para Athletics?
    PARA ATHLETICS CLASSIFICATION ARE YOU, OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO MAY BE, INTERESTED IN PARA ATHLETICS? Classification determines who is eligible to compete in a Para sport and then groups the eligible athletes into sport classes according to their activity limitation in a certain sport or event. Athletes are classified as “T” (Track and Jump) or “F” (Field) based on which event they are competing in, followed by a number that represents impairment type and level of impairment. For example, T12. First Letter Represents: First Number Represents: Second Number Represents: T/F TRACK OR FIELD 1-6 IMPAIRMENT TYPE 1-8 DESCRIPTION OF IMPAIRMENT Typically T identifies a track 1 = Visual Impairment The number 1 through 8 specifies event and F for a field event. 2 = Intellectual Impairment the description of the impairment as There are certain exceptions 3 = Co-ordination Impairment per the classification rules (i.e. Long Jump is a T event) 4 = Upper Limb Deficiencies; Lower Limb Deficiencies without the use of prosthetic; short stature 5 = Impaired muscle power or range of movement 6 = Limb deficiencies with the use of prosthetic PHYSICAL IMPAIRMENT SHORT STATURE F40 F41 IMPAIRED MUSCLE POWER AND/OR PASSIVE RANGE OF MOVEMENT T/F51 T/F52 T/F53 T/F54 F55 F56 F57 Athletes who compete seated LIMB DEFICIENCY T/F42 T/F43 T/F44 T/F62 T/F63 T/F64 T/F45 T/F46 T/47 Lower limb deficiency without Lower limb deficiency with Upper limb deficiency the use of a prosthetic the use of a prosthetic with or without the use of a prosthetic ATHLETES WITH ATHETOSIS, ATAXIA AND/OR

    Revised June 18, 2019 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veteran Monthly Assistance Allowance for Disabled Veterans Training in Paralympic and Olympic Sports Program (VMAA) In partnership with the United States Olympic Committee and other Olympic and Paralympic entities within the United States, VA supports eligible service and non-service-connected military Veterans in their efforts to represent the USA at the Paralympic Games, Olympic Games and other international sport competitions. The VA Office of National Veterans Sports Programs & Special Events provides a monthly assistance allowance for disabled Veterans training in Paralympic sports, as well as certain disabled Veterans selected for or competing with the national Olympic Team, as authorized by 38 U.S.C. 322(d) and Section 703 of the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of 2008. Through the program, VA will pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with either a service-connected or non-service-connected disability if the Veteran meets the minimum military standards or higher (i.e. Emerging Athlete or National Team) in his or her respective Paralympic sport at a recognized competition. In addition to making the VMAA standard, an athlete must also be nationally or internationally classified by his or her respective Paralympic sport federation as eligible for Paralympic competition. VA will also pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with a service-connected disability rated 30 percent or greater by VA who is selected for a national Olympic Team for any month in which the Veteran is competing in any event sanctioned by the National Governing Bodies of the Olympic Sport in the United State, in accordance with P.L.

  • Section “F” – Para Athletes Championship Competition
    Section “F” – Para Athletes Championship Competition These rules are to be read in conjunction with Section ”A" Competition General Rules, Section “B” – Track Events and Section “C” – Field Events. 1. Para Athletes 1.1 General Conditions i. Athletes with a disability qualifying in any able body event at the State Track & Field Championships will not be allowed to compete in the equivalent Para event conducted on the same program. ii. Implements shall comply with the specifications as defined by LANSW for Para events. iii. In Para field events only three trials will be allowed. iv. All LANSW and IAAF (where applicable) rules of competition shall apply except in the following instances. 1.2 Classification i. Athletes with a disability have to be formerly classified by a recognised organisation, prior to competing at the State Track & Field Championships. ii. Classification is a way of grouping athletes of similar function or ability for the purpose of competition. 1.3 Competition i. All events will be conducted as multi-disability events. Competitors will compete against a multi- disability standard (MDS) as determined by the Australian Paralympic Committee. Placings will be determined by the competitor’s time/distance calculated against a percentage of the multi-disability standard (MDS). ii. In all competitions involving throwing events athletes must use the implement weight specified for their classification/ age group, (refer Para Athletes Implement Specification Table). Note: At competition events where combined age group are conducted the competitor’s will throw the weight specified for their age group. This could result in different weight implements being used in the same event.

This model incorporated higher order terms stem- ming from electron tunneling and nonlocality. This study shows that, besides the linear optical parameter like permittivity, conductivity etc, changes in the nonlinear optical pa- rameters, namely, second and third order susceptibilities (χ(2) and χ(3), respectively) can also be used to probe and compare the higher-order terms of the hydrodynamic model of plasmonics.
