Currently, we point to the fact that whether predators employ pure pursuit or some predictive pursuit rules does not change the fundamental nature of the chase consisting of a series of straight line sections and turns (although it does change the details of the turn trajectory).
Our work echoes that of Howland (1974), which dealt with the same issue using a different approach, emphasising that high speed, aside from being necessary for the predator to gain on the prey, also increases the likelihood that the predator will overshoot the prey turn trajectory (Howland, 1974; Alexander, 2003).
Scientists have proposed various methods of averting an asteroid impact, among them a spacecraft that would land on the asteroid and, using electric motors, very gradually turn its trajectory.
It is necessary to find strategies and interventions that can turn this trajectory around and support a population that is increasingly unfamiliar with a low meat diet.
A method which can generate turn trajectories – so-called headland turns - with smooth transition and a fast computation performance is investigated.
Indeed, the correlation time of the bending mode <img src="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/asset?id=info?doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0013914.e096.PNG" class= inline-graphic"/> also shows adaptation between early and late times (Fig 7b), showing that worms produce straighter inter-turn trajectories at later times.
An immersive installation from NASA and STUDIOKCA turns satellite trajectories into sound art.
A stochastic simulation needs thousands of independent simulation trajectories turning into big data that should be analysed by statistic and data mining tools.
The resultant data were then binned following a sine-wave trajectory, resulting in higher density of sampling near the turning points of the trajectory, with the corresponding data analysis accounting for this sampling density.
General Musharraf's reckless political trajectory is turning him into one of the Bush administration's most dangerous partners.
"Our trajectory is turning around," CEO Jim Chambers said in an earnings call.
