Reporting of wildlife strikes with civil aircraft in the USA is voluntary but strongly encouraged by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) through Advisory Circulars and FAA publications. The National Wildlife Strike Database contained 59,196 strike reports for civil aircraft, 1990-2004. An initial analysis of independent strike data from an eastern USA airport in 1994 indicated that less t...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of foot strike patterns and converted foot strike patterns on lower limb kinematics and kinetics at the hip, knee, and ankle during a shod condition. Subjects were videotaped with a high speed camera while running a 5km at self-selected pace on a treadmill to determine natural foot strike pattern on day one. Preferred forefoot group (PFFG, n...

This paper proposes a method for detecting geomagnetic sudden commencement (SC) from a geomagnetic horizontal (H) component b y using lifting wavelet lters. Lifting wavelet lters are biorthog-onal wavelet lers containing free parameters. Our method is to learn such free parameters based on some training signals which c o n tain the SC. The learnt w avelet lters have the feature of training sign...

tion of techniques: chopping down the methodology jungle. Abstract In this article we discuss formalisation of techniques in the context of Information System Development methodologies. When such methodologies are developed, the primary goal is applicability. After the methodology has proven itself in practice, the methodology will be applied in more sophisticated situations, pushing the method...
