in this study, 10 normal volunteers and 5 sports-trained paraplegics with lesions between t6 and l2 were studied whilst walking with axillary crutches and knee-anlde-foot orthoses. all subjects walked at their preferred speed on a figureof- eight track. normal subjects also walked at slower and faster speeds. oxygen consumption, heart rate and rating of perceived exertion were measured. in norm...

To assess the contribution of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and renal hemodynamics to acute renal sodium handling in essential hypertension we studied 21 subjects who had essential hypertension (16 with normal renin, 5 with low renin) and 9 normal subjects. All were in balance on a 10 mEq sodium intake before receiving a small sodium load, 60 mEq intravenously over 1 hour. Hypertensi...

This paper presents an investigation on the capability of gust load alleviation by normal microjet. The numerical method integrates unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) solutions, structural dynamic equations motion and Field Velocity Method. is verified for responses rigid elastic models. results microjet are validated against experimental previous data. Load control capabilities e...
