Landing Technique Assessment Utilizing Laboratory-Based Landing And Simulated Basketball Landing Tasks
<p><strong>Context</strong>: The Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) is a two-dimensional landing technique assessment tool that is readily available to clinicians. However, the LESS merely assesses a contrived landing, rather than dynamic, complex movements that may occur during actual athletic …

A Soft Landing
… this assertion as a point of departure, ‘A Soft Landing' is a novel that explores the implications of a past not decisively dealt with. The novel explores how the past gives meaning to present identities and how new identity formations are negotiated within the eye of the past participating in …

Emergency Landing and Guidance System
… that many of these happen from emergency landings gone awry. While pilots can generally make great landings in clear daytime conditions, they are significantly handicapped when it comes to landing at night or amongst poor visibility conditions.</p> <p>Due to the nature of this problem and …

Landing party: infraestructura aeronáutica ciudad-río
La tesis explora una nueva concepción de la relación tiempo/distancia. Resulta del uso cotidiano del avión como medio de transporte, ya que la velocidad que permite cambia lo que es cercano y lejano, nocion construida en las ciudades contemporáneas. La relación entre ciudad y aeropuerto actualmente …

Biomechanical characteristics of multidirectional single-leg landing
Single-leg landing (SLL) is a functional task that has been linked to injury. It is the test most used in both research and clinical practice to evaluate the dynamic stability of the lower extremities, particularly the knee joint. It is also an important screening tool that can be used to identify …

Aggressive landing maneuvers for unmanned aerial vehicles
VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) vehicle landing is considered to be a critically difficult task for both land, marine, and urban operations. This thesis describes one possible control approach to enable landing of unmanned aircraft systems at all attitudes, including against walls and ceilings …

Landing gear integration in aircraft conceptual design
The design of the landing gear is one of the more fundamental aspects of aircraft design. The design and integration process encompasses numerous engineering disciplines, e.g., structure, weights, runway design, and economics, and has become extremely sophisticated in the last few decades. Although …

Human spatial orientation perceptions during simulated lunar landing
During crewed lunar landings, astronauts are expected to guide a stable and controlled descent to a landing zone that is level and free of hazards by either making landing point (LP) redesignations or taking direct manual control. However, vestibular and visual sensorimotor limitations unique to …
