Mechanics of dump truck vibrations in high-impact shovel loading operations
… mine production operations has resulted in high-impact shovel loading operations (HISLO). In extreme cases, shovels load large dump trucks with 100-ton (or more) passes generating high-impact forces under gravity. HISLO generates high-frequency shockwaves that cause severe truck vibrations …

High Impact Strategies and the Effect It Has on Students’ Mathematics Attitudes
… and Supplemental Instruction (SI) could have an impact on students in an introductory statistics course. The study describes the use of a reliable instrument to measure students’ attitudes and beliefs about mathematics. Martha Tapia developed the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI) …

Development of a low-cost high-impact resistant compliant myoelectric prosthetic hand
Repeated mechanical failure due to accidental impact and lack of sensory feedback are one of the main reasons why people with upper-limb amputations abandon commercially-available prosthetic hands. To address this problem, this thesis presents the design and evaluation of a compliant four-bar …

High Impact Weather Associated with a Predecessor Rain Event Over Misawa Air Base
… warning process focuses on TC induced sustained high winds and their proximity to landfall. This analysis shows the link between the Misawa PRE and Roke via the poleward transport of deep tropical moisture. Because excessive rainfall is considered a destructive force associated with TCs, it is …

Multi-Stage LLM Reasoning for Automated Detection and Classification of High-Impact Misinformation
… ”vaccine-skeptical” content had a much greater impact on vaccine hesitancy than misinformation flagged by fact-checkers. These narratives can work by omitting information, misleading framing, or cherry-picked evidence, forms of manipulation that can elude traditional fact-checking. Though …

Eating disorders and excessive exercise : a comparison of high-impact aerobics and road running
… nervosa. Recent research has focused on the impact of physical activities, depending on their nature, towards the susceptibility of disordered eating or excessive exercise. The present study explores the hypothesis that when the pressure to be fit overrides the pressure to be thin, t his will …

Enhanced power system resiliency to high-impact, low-frequency events with emphasis on geomagnetic disturbances
… procedures are unlikely to be sufficient for high-impact low-frequency (HILF) events. This thesis proposes several techniques to enhance resiliency with respect to HILF events. In particular, we focus on cyber-physical attacks and geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs). Corrective control through …

The Effects of Low Energy Availability and High-Impact Exercise on Bone and Body Composition
… Recent evidence suggests that brief bouts of high-impact exercise attenuate the increased rate of bone resorption in females with diet-induced LEA. However, it is unknown whether similar exercises have a protective effect on bone health when LEA is induced through a combination of dietary …

A structured demographic evaluation approach for interactive technologies based on the identification of high impact usability factors
… an online shopping environment in cultures with high uncertainty avoidance. Uncertainty avoidance expresses community avoidance from unknown situations, ambiguity, and personal risk. The objective was to determine the relationship between web design attributes (i.e., content/information quality, …
