  2. Ballistic missile flight phases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Ballistic_missile_flight_phases

    The boost phase is the portion of the flight of a ballistic missile or space vehicle during which the booster and sustainer engines operate until it reaches peak velocity. . This phase can take 3 to 4 minutes for a solid rocket (shorter for a liquid-propellant rocket), the altitude at the end of this phase is 150–200 km, and the typical burn-out speed is 7 k

  3. E/A ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E/A_ratio

    The E peak arises due to early diastolic filling. Most filling (70-85%) of the ventricle occurs during this phase. The A peak arises due to atrial contraction, forcing approximately 15-20% of stroke volume into the ventricle. The deceleration time is the time taken from the maximum E point to baseline.

  4. Cardiotocography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiotocography

    When variable decelerations are associated with uterine contractions, their onset, depth, and duration commonly vary with successive uterine contractions. [citation needed] Prolonged deceleration: a decrease in FHR from baseline of at least 15 bpm, lasting at least 2 minutes but less than 10 minutes. A deceleration of at least 10 minutes is a ...

  5. Sensory illusions in aviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_illusions_in_aviation

    The sensory disorientation of returning from a prolonged banking turn to wings-level flight can cause the pilot to re-enter the banking turn, as in the graveyard spin illusion. While the plane continues in the turn and begins to indicate a loss of altitude, the pilot will try to correct the loss of altitude by "pulling up" on the plane's controls.

  6. Ballistic training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_training

    Ballistic exercises performed continuously for a minimum of 20 seconds followed by a 30-second rest period and then repeated until deceleration occurs has been proven to elevate the heart rate to training zone level. [11] 5. Co-ordination. Research at the University of Connecticut found that high-intensity training has profound effects on the ...

  7. Aerocapture - Wikipedia

    For this application, however, the trajectory must be constrained to avoid excessive deceleration loads on the crew. [18] [19] Although there are similar constraints on trajectories for robotic missions, the human limits are typically more stringent, especially in light of the effects of prolonged microgravity on acceleration tolerances.

  8. Fish locomotion - Wikipedia

    The last phase is deceleration. In this phase, the swimming speed of the larva gradually slows down to a complete stop. In the preparatory stroke, due to the bending of the body, the larva creates 4 vortices around its body, and 2 of those are shed in the propulsive stroke. [31] Similar phenomena can be seen in the deceleration phase.

  9. Dictyate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictyate

    The dictyate or dictyotene [1] is a prolonged resting phase in oogenesis.It occurs in the stage of meiotic prophase I [2] in ootidogenesis.It starts late in fetal life [2] and is terminated shortly before ovulation by the LH surge. [3]
