Theaddition of glide slope control to guided airdrop systemshas the potential to provide dramatic improvements in landing accuracy. Dynamic rigging incidence control has been demonstrated in flight tests and shown to provide effective glide slope control. The current work presents flight-test results exploring the range of glide slope control that can be achieved with high-performance parafoil ...

Demographic changes increase the necessity to base pension system more and on second third pillars, namely occupational private plans; this paper deals with Target Date Funds (TDFs), which are a typical investment opportunity for planners. TDFs usually identified decreasing fraction of wealth invested in equity (a so-called glide path) as retirement comes closer, i.e. is riskily younger saver i...

Glide efficiency, the ability of a body to minimize deceleration over the glide, can change with variations in the body's size and shape. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between glide efficiency and the size and shape characteristics of swimmers. Eight male and eight female swimmers performed a series of horizontal glides at a depth of 70 cm below the surface. Gli...

Adult listeners heard a pure-tone glide ("captor") repeatedly alternating with a complex glide consisting of three simultaneous pure-tone glides. One of the pure-tone glide components in the complex glide matched the captor glide in its frequency center, orientation, and direction. This component was referred to as the "target:’ The two other glides in the complex glide were referred to as "the...

A glide path file may contribute to extruding contaminated debris during the first treatment phase. Using rotary techniques rather than manually operated instruments is thought decrease amount of extruded and hence post-operative pain levels. Aim: To compare effect using Neoniti GPS rotating in comparison manual stainless-steel K-files on pain, asymptomatic nonvital mandibular molars. Methods: ...
