Design and Construction of an Improvised Vertical Axis Wind Turbine. by Owamaani, Babrah

“…Different configurations of wind turbines such as horizontal axis wind turbines and vertical axis wind turbines are mainly used for energy extraction. The horizontal axis is mainly used in large-scale applications and thus its implementation is generally a concern due to the huge installment setup and initial cost; whereas vertical axis wind turbines offer promising solutions for smaller rural areas or medium-sized residential spaces. …”

Differences in Lower Extremity Kinematics Between High School Cross-Country and Young Adult Recreational Runners by Mark F Reinking, Nina M Carson, Bridget M End, Olivia K Miller, Joshua D Munter, Thomas G McPoil

“…# Background While previous research has assessed running kinematics for age-related differences that could increase the risk of a running-related injury, none of these studies have included high school aged runners or assessed running kinematics using 2-dimensional video analysis. # Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare sagittal plane kinematics during treadmill running in high school cross-country and young adult recreational runners using 2-dimensional motion analysis techniques…”

Transport and Mitigation of Exhaled Electronic Cigarette Aerosols in a Multizone Indoor Environment by Li Zhang, Yan Lin, Yifang Zhu

“…Here, we tested the effectiveness of different mitigation strategies to reduce indoor particulate pollution due to e-cigs. We simultaneously measured concentrations of particle number (PNC) and fine particle (PM2.5) mass in a vaping room and an adjacent non-vaping room, both of which were well controlled, during e-cig use under six different experimental conditions: (1) the baseline scenario, in which the connecting door between the two rooms was open, the ventilation in both rooms was low, and no air purifier was operated; (2) the connecting door between the two rooms was closed; (3) the ventilation was enhanced in the vaping room; (4) the ventilation was enhanced in the non-vaping room; (5) an air purifier was operated in the vaping room; and (6) an air purifier was operated in the non-vaping room. …”
