Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I): A Mixed Methods Study of Voluntary Versus Mandatory Reports from the United States of America
<p>Loss of control in flight (LOC-I) is one of modern aviation’s three most prominent fatal accidents. In the United States, air accidents are mandatorily reported to and investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Established in 1976, the Air Safety Reporting System (ASRS) is …

The Nosological Status of Loss of Control over Eating in Children
… of overweight children report loss of control: LOC) over eating: i.e., feeling unable to stop eating), a correlate of poorer psychosocial functioning and obesity. Another obesogenic appetitive trait, high food reinforcement, is characterized by a strong drive to obtain palatable food. LOC and …

Perception of control and marital adjustment
… research investigated the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and marital adjustment in a random sample of 145 married graduate students and their spouses (72% of subjects contacted). Each spouse was given Levenson's I, P, and C scales (Levenson, 1972) and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale …

Locus of control and native Indian children with histories of hearing loss
… little is known about the relationship between locus of control (LOC) orientation and mild or temporary hearing losses associated with chronic otitis media. Furthermore, it seems this relationship may never have been studied in the unique cultural context of Northern Canadian Native Indian …

Locus of Control and Depression as Mechanisms in the Relationship between Racial Discrimination and Substance Use
… in the literature. One potential candidate is locus of control (LOC). LOC is a learning processes that involves the degree to which an individual attributes rewards as resulting from their own control (internal LOC) versus outside control (external LOC). There is evidence that exposure to …

Design and Development of a Portable Microfluidic System for Medical Diagnostics
… research towards the development of a portable LOC system for medical diagnostics. A modular microfluidic LOC architecture is presented along with its implementation in two successive generations of devices. The architecture allows for rapid prototyping and simple design changes at low cost. …

Pilot-in-the-loop simulated flight tests of a loss-of-control prediction and prevention system for NASA's Transport Class Model
… potentially lead to aircraft loss of control (LoC) as well as methods to prevent the occurrence of such events. This challenging problem has led to the development of an in-flight LoC prediction and prevention system, which is based on a quantitative approach for LoC characterization introduced …

Role of the lateral olivocochlear efferent system in hearing : selective lesioning studies
… the organization and function of the LOC system by immunohistochemical and physiological studies in mice with unilateral stereotaxic destruction of LOC cell bodies. Double immunostaining in control cochleas and brainstems revealed two cytochemical subgroups of LOC neurons: a majority …

Effects of Receiver Locus of Control and Interaction Involvement on the Interpretation of Service Complaints
… who vary in Interaction Involvement and Locus of Control (LOC) might differ in their interpretations of service complaints. Locus of control was measured using Rotter's (1966) LOC scale, while Interaction Involvement was measured with Cegala's (1984) Interaction Involvement measure, …

Measurement and Analysis of lubricant oil consumption in a single cylinder hydrogen IC engine
… and reducing lubricant oil consumption (LOC) in IC engines has been the focus of this lab for decades. Lubricant oil consumed in internal combustion engines is a significant contributor to harmful gas and particulate emissions directly threatening the environment and human health. This …

Modulation of cochlear afferent response by the lateral olivocochlear system : activation via electrical stimulation of the inferior colliculus
… of two subdivisions, medial (MOC) and lateral (LOC), with peripheral terminations on outer hair cells and cochlear afferent terminals, respectively. The cochlear effects of electrically activating MOC efferents are well known: the MOC efferents suppress cochlear responses by reducing outer hair …

An Experimental Study on the Effects of Three-Piece Oil Control Ring Design and Liner Finish on Lubricating Oil Consumption in a Hydrogen-Fueled Single-Cylinder Reciprocating Engine
Reducing lubricating oil consumption (LOC) in reciprocating engines is an increasingly important objective in the pursuit of lower greenhouse gas emissions, longer maintenance intervals, and compliance with tightening environmental regulations. In 2022, the U.S. transportation sector alone was …

Backscatter Spatial Coherence for Ultrasonic Image Quality Characterization: Theory and Applications
… quality metric, known as the lag-one coherence (LOC), was introduced along with the theory that relates LOC to channel noise and the conventional image quality metrics of contrast and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). Simulation studies were performed to validate this theory and compare the …

An Empirical Study Investigating the Predictors of Software Metric Correlation in Application Code and Test Code.
… that CC has a very strong correlation with LOC, justifying the use of LOC in place of CC (and Halstead Effort), this strong correlation is prevalent only in production code as results indicate a very weak correlation in test code between LOC, CC and Halstead Effort. The kind of code, the …
