Daring behavior, while risky, may increase the lethality of a predator (e.g., an owl increasing its diving speed, a bird eating a butterfly despite its warning colors, etc).
The Pan Am Pool, built for the 1967 Pan Am Games, hosts aquatic events, including diving, speed swimming, synchronized swimming and water polo.
They showed Umi and his younger brothers and their adventures in old Hawaii: sailing down mountainsides on morning-glory vines ("From vine to vine the boys slid with lightning speed"), diving into pools formed by lava tubes, crossing the sea in war canoes ("Slaves shall accompany Umi to his father's palace in Waipio").
Beginning in late 1943, high-speed diving trials were undertaken at Farnborough to investigate the handling characteristics of aircraft travelling at speeds near the sound barrier (i.e., the onset of compressibility effects).
The peregrine falcon reaches faster speeds than any other animal on the planet when performing the stoop, which involves soaring to a great height and then diving steeply at speeds of over, hitting one wing of its prey so as not to harm itself on impact.
In our study, we examined the factors that affect the swim speed of diving seals while manipulating three conditions (drag, buoyancy, and dive depth) and showed that only drag affected swim speed, which agreed with a previous theoretical prediction (Sato et al., 2010).
The fast bowler's short delivery drew an indecisive flat-bat swipe, top-edged high into the leg side where Bishoo took a sensational diving catch running at speed to his left.
A recent study (Sato et al., 2010) developed a theoretical model to calculate the optimal swim speed with diving data sets from seven species of geometrically similar penguins.
splitter -- a stunning speed for that diving pitch.
Firstly, a mathematical model of AUV is established, and the mathematical model is subsequently decoupled into three subsystems including speed control model, diving control model and steering control model.
We note however that the displacement is due to the reduction in current speed over the diving depth of the sharks and hence varies strongly in space (Fig. 9) and over the lifetime of the PAT deployments.
