Human response to vibration from earthmoving machines.
… wheel was supported in a test/frame and its response to vibration measured. Free vertical movement of the axle was provided by a cantilever arrangement designed not to influence the low frequency response anticipated from the wheel. Finally, a survey of drivers was completed to obtain their …

Developing human response and exposure criteria for evaluating indoor environments
… and standards are based at least implicitly on human response criteria, the objective of this dissertation was to define human response criteria and measures, and to identify links with exposure parameters, exogenous factors and methodological effects. A characterization, consisting of four …

The role of social media in measuring human response to urban flash flooding
… this disaster. In order to understand the response of the public to urban flash flooding, multiple methods are used, including trend analysis, content analysis for high frequent terms and co-occurrence words, and lexicon-based sentiment analysis. In particular, weibos with geo-location …

Human response to railway vibration in residential environments : exposure-response relationships and modifying factors
… thesis aims to contribute to the knowledge of human response to vibration inresidential environments and identify factors of primary importance whenconsidering exposure-response relationships from railway vibration. It has previouslybeen shown that annoyance increases with vibration magnitude. …

Re-thinking contemporary aesthetic spaces : Diana Thorneycroft and the unacceptable sublime
This thesis is a case study of human responses in the space of the museum. I examine issues concerning behaviour education and training within this space and suggest possibilities for a sort of cultural, theoretical emancipation of the visitor, participant, or "viewer". But by taking the case of …

Development of a biomechanical surrogate for the evaluation of commotio cordis protection
… surrogate is needed that models the human response to impacts observed in sports. The goal of this dissertation was to develop and validate a biomechanical surrogate that can predict the risk of CC.</p> <p> The first step in developing a biomechanical surrogate is the identification …

COAL : a continuous active learning system
… effectiveness of the new product is assessed by humans. To achieve this, we mapped the task to a machine learning problem. The solution is two fold: learn a non linear model that can map the attribute space to the human response, which can then be used to make predictions, and an active learning …

A Description of the Approaches to Communication Apprehension
… and performance guilt and further explores the human response to stress in relation to public speaking. It discusses the differing definitions by scholars, and explores systematic desensitization, its practices and effectiveness. Closing comments encourage the integration of basic communication …

Light and form : perception in the built environment
… the experience of place--that is, influence human response--and to understand some principles of manipulating light and form to achieve these responses. The thesis is a journey through many paths and places; some are literal in their expression of the author's ideas, others are more subtly …

Mind over media: Conscious and unconscious responses to media messages
Human response to media images is a product of both conscious and preconscious processing, involving structural mechanisms within the brain as well as individual self-concepts, issues of identity, ideological beliefs, and relevance. Visual and auditory processing incorporates both conscious and …

Objective assessment of static and dynamic seats under vehicular vibrations
… The experimental results are used to identify a Human Response Function to characterize the contributions of the human body. This function is further utilized to estimate the seat-human system performance from measured seat-passive load performance characteristics. A parametric sensitivity …

A critical evaluation of the concept of the revolution of God in the theology of Karl Barth
… the centre of his theology. On the one hand, humanity is incapable of speaking of God. On the other hand, it is imperative for humanity to speak of God. This dilemma is resolved by God's act for humanity in Jesus Christ, giving rise to a human response of faith and obedience. Humanity can …

Empirical constraints on the evolutionary origins of music
… various musical traits are innate, uniquely human, and specific to music. This thesis extends the body of empirical research along these lines, with a focus on comparative experiments in nonhuman animals. A series of studies in nonhuman primates explores whether they have preferences for …

The Logic of Divine-Human Reconciliation: A Critical Analysis of Penal Substitution as An Explanatory Feature of Atonement
… feature of Christ's contribution to divine-human reconciliation. I present fourteen problems and argue that penal substitution can overcome these problems by embracing a "divine-manifest offering" approach to atonement. On this approach, God mercifully chooses to require satisfaction for sin …

Prehistoric Colonization of Southcentral Alaska: Human Adaptations in a Post Glacial World
… provide valuable contextual information for the human process of colonizing a region that was heavily glaciated during the LGM. The deglaciation and human colonization of southcentral Alaska is one of the most significant aspects of the settling phase in eastern Beringia not only for its …

Profiling, prototyping, and perturbing human immune responses
… and manipulation of limited quantities of human samples, shifting focus away from inbred mice and allowing an alternative research framework to emerge. This approach aims to ‘reverse-engineer’ the human response by finding disease-relevant biological phenomena through deep phenotyping of …
