In our country we have enormous low head potation flows in agricultures and aquacultures with almost fix flow rates that can be used as micro hydro power plants for producing energy. But the main problem is the high capital price per kW. Therefore there is needed to design a simple machine with a good runner for covering the various potential flows. In this paper an axial hydro turbine has desi...

The human body is a constant flux of thousands of chemical/biological interactions and processes connecting molecules, cells, organs, and fluids, throughout the brain, body, and nervous system. Up until recently it was thought that all these interactions operated in a linear sequence, passing on information much like a runner passing the baton to the next runner. However, the latest findings in...

An experienced marathon runner died suddenly during a competitive race. At necropsy, ventricular hypertrophy but no asymmetrical septal hypertrophy was found. Histological studies showed features of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The coronary arteries were normal. We propose that the runner died from myocardial ischaemia, precipitated by marathon running on a background of hypertrophic cardiomyop...

The blood glucose response of a male ultramarathon runner was monitored throughout a 1005-km race. Before the race the runner had a fasting blood glucose concentration of 5.1 mM. At no stage during the race were his mean blood glucose levels less than 5.8 mM. This was partially attributed to the eating patterns of the athlete, the times at which blood samples were taken, the glycaemic index of ...

Biomedical applications generally needs measurement the human body parts in motion. On the other hand, the analysis of the human motion includes mobile measurements. The mobile measurement is complicated task because it needs two or more sensor combination, specific measurement techniques and huge computation. Thus, it is actual research topic in photogrammetry and computer sciences community. ...

The etiology of running injuries is multifactorial in nature. These factors can be simplified into those related to structure, mechanics and dosage. In order to fully understand the cause of an injury, one must carefully assess each of these factors. This includes taking a thorough history, as well as an evaluation of runner’s structure and alignment. However, if the injury occurred during the ...
