The Runner

The Virtual Runner Learning Game

A learning game has been developed which allows learners to study and learn about the significance of three important variables in human physiology (lactate, glycogen, and hydration) and their influence on sports performance during running. The player can control the speed of the runner, and as a consequence the resulting physiological processes are simulated in real-time. The performance degra...

Functional Tester Runner Tool

The sheer complexity of Web applications and inadequate approaches to analyze, design or update such projects generate incorrect environments, which are the source of potential risks. Poor applications reflect low availability, maintenance difficult and questionable efficiency in the services they provide. At present the quality assurances schemes still performed manually. A group of evaluators...

Flows, View Obstructions, and the Lonely Runner

We prove the following result. Let G be an undirected graph. If G has a nowhere zero ow with at most k di erent values, then it also has one with values from the set f1; : : : ; kg. When k 5, this is a trivial consequence of Seymour's \sixow theorem". When k 4 our proof is based on a lovely number theoretic problem which we call the \Lonely Runner Conjecture". Suppose k runners having nonzero c...

The enigma of the collapsed marathon runner.

Sudden death is well documented as an unexpected occurrence in trained long distance runners, skiers, and swimmers.”2 On post-mortem examination in such cases, the abnormal findings may include unsuspected congenital anomalies or unrecognized coronary atherosclerosis or cardiomyopathy. In many cases, no abnormality is found, and here, recourse for an explanation involves the prevalence of cardi...
