This article presents using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to analyze the flow around porous fences. The feasibility of applying 2D and 3D models was assessed with respect to corresponding wind tunnel experiments. Comparisons between the flow structures on leeward of the fence as predicted by CFD models and the wind tunnel measurements were discussed. Velocity values for the two ...

As a consequence of replacing the classical with the skating technique in the 1980s, as well as considerable improvements in equipment and preparation of ski tracks and more effective training, the average biathlon skiing speed has ...

The present study was designed to assess the psycho-physiological responses of physically untrained individuals to mobile-based multi-stimulating, circuit-like, multiplejoint conditioning (Circuit_HIIT) performed either once (1xCircuit_HIIT) or twice (2xCircuit_HIIT) daily for 4 weeks. In this single-center, two-arm randomized, controlled study, 24 men and women (age: ...

<p>Et utvalg av barne- og ungdomsskoler (alder 9–16 år) deltar i forskningsprosjektet «Trivsel i Tromsø». Disse skolene gjennomfører over flere år en omfattende undersøkelse av elevmiljøet. Denne artikkelen presenterer noen av resultatene fra prosjektets første skoleår (2013/14, N=878) og viser funn som er gjort om sammenhengen mellom psykiske vansker og ulike former for mobbing og trakassering. <p>Våre ...
