Animal Orientation Strategies for Movement in Flows
For organisms that fly or swim, movement results from the combined effects of the moving medium - air or water - and the organism's own locomotion. For larger organisms, propulsion contributes significantly to progress but the flow usually still provides significant opposition or assistance, or produces lateral displacement ('drift'). Animals show a range of responses to flows, depending on the...
متن کاملOptimal orientation in flows: providing a benchmark for animal movement strategies
Animal movements in air and water can be strongly affected by experienced flow. While various flow-orientation strategies have been proposed and observed, their performance in variable flow conditions remains unclear. We apply control theory to establish a benchmark for time-minimizing (optimal) orientation. We then define optimal orientation for movement in steady flow patterns and, using dyna...
متن کاملStrategies for Successful Perioperative Orientation.
The successful orientation of new employees facilitates their transition to the complex and demanding world of perioperative nursing. Whether a nurse is a recent graduate or an experienced nurse who has recently joined the facility or department, a new nurse benefits from a transition period during which new skills, processes, and concepts can be learned. Training should offer new employees the...
متن کاملOrientation in high-flying migrant insects in relation to flows: mechanisms and strategies
High-flying insect migrants have been shown to display sophisticated flight orientations that can, for example, maximize distance travelled by exploiting tailwinds, and reduce drift from seasonally optimal directions. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of the theoretical and empirical evidence for the mechanisms underlying the selection and maintenance of the observed flight headings, an...
متن کاملMovement Strategies for Learning in Visual Recognition
In this paper we study the role of movement strategies during learning in object recognition models. We show that a simple model, the RBF, can outperform a more complex hierarchical model, the HMAX, when rotation and scale invariance are provided by the training phase. Moreover, we assess the exploitation of temporal information by the RBF using optic flow. The results show that the RBF model c...
