Studying the dynamic response of Francis turbine runners is of paramount importance in order to avoid resonance problems during operating conditions. For this purpose, the natural frequencies as well as their associated mode-shapes and damping ratios of the runner have to be determined. In this paper, an Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) of the runner of a Francis turbine prototype has been per...

The Cross-flow turbine is one type of hydroelectric power plant that frequently used. This an experimental study with the goal analyzing and efficiency produced by as a result runner rotation adjustments. variations used are 261 rpm, 300 320 340 360 380 392 423 rpm head high 5 meters incoming water discharge 0.2 m3/s. best results shown when rotate at rpm. It's showed maximum 788.85 Watt 80.49%...

Abstacts from the Northern Ireland Surgical Trainees Prize Day, which was held on Friday 14 November 2003 and hosted by Altnagelvin Area Hospital at the City Hotel, Londonderry. Thirtynine abstracts were submitted of which eleven were accepted for presentation on the day. There were six in the SHO section and five in the Specialist Registrar section. Winner of the SHO section was Dr Peter Mallo...

The Lonely Runner Conjecture, posed independently by Wills and by Cusick, states that for any set of runners running along the unit circle with constant different speeds and starting at the same point, there is a time where all of them are far enough from the origin. We study the correlation among the time that runners spend close to the origin. By means of these correlations, we improve a resu...

THYFAULT, J.P. and E.M. MORRIS. Intrinsic (genetic) aerobic fitness impacts susceptibility for metabolic disease. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev., Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 7–15, 2017. Low-capacity runner (LCR) and high-capacity runner (HCR) rat strains are divergent for running capacity and aerobic fitness. The LCR rats are susceptible to obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver whereas the HCR are prote...

The paper is focused on setting up a system of continuous integration within the available infrastructure of MPD Root project. The system’s deployment and debugging for MPD Root purposes are considered; the installation and setup of the required tools using GitLab, GitLab CI Runner and Docker are described. The deployment of various MPD Root configurations includes four major steps: installatio...
