To analyze the influence of distance between tunnels at bridge-tunnel junction in mountainous area on driving safety under crosswind, a vehicle dynamics model is established by Carsim software. Under conditions different speeds (60km/h, 80km/h and 100km/h), wind scales (level 6–9) three alignment combinations (tunnel-straight road-tunnel, tunnel-curving tunnel-the combination straight curves ro...

A new composite turbine control architecture that consists of feedforward and feedback parts based on the upwind speed measurements and wind speed measurements at the turbine site, respectively, is described. The algorithm starts with preprocessing of a low-rate sampled upwind speed via the spline interpolation method. A run-ahead model driven by the signals from a preprocessing block models th...

Indefinites that appear as complements in prepositional phrases show some systematic variations in their interpretation, which to the best of our knowledge have not been observed before. Consider the contrasts between the following pairs: (1) a. The house is close to a lake. b. The house is far from a lake. (2) a. The house is less than/at most 20m from a lake. b. The house is more than/at leas...

Multisport events continue to grow in popularity among recreational, amateur, and professional athletes around the world. This study aimed to determine the compounding effects of the initial run and cycling legs of an International Triathlon Union (ITU) Duathlon simulation on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), ventilatory threshold (VT) and running economy (RE) within a thermoneutral, laboratory c...

The purpose of this prospective cohort study was to assess how cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of children with probable developmental coordination disorder (DCD) changes over a period of 4.7 years relative to a group of typically developing controls. A school-based sample of children in a large region of Ontario, Canada with 75 out of a possible 92 schools consented to participate. Children en...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence body composition on motor abilities in handball players. sample involved 16 male players aged 15-20. Body variables included mass (BM), index (BMI), percentage fat (PBF) and muscle (PMM). For speed assessment, 20m sprint test used. T-test, Slalom Zig-Zag were used estimate agility, while squat jump (SJ), counter movement (CMJ) with arm swin...
