The Nosological Status of Loss of Control over Eating in Children
A significant subset 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 …

The Neurocognitive Dynamics Underlying Loss of Control in Alcohol Misuse and Addiction
… drinking, and why is this distinction often unnoticed until unhealthy patterns emerge? Alcohol consumption which detrimentally impacts one’s health, interpersonal dynamics, or ability to work- termed alcohol misuse- can, in its extremity, evolve into an addiction. This advanced stage is …

Online Pilot Model Parameter Estimation for Loss-of-Control Prevention in Aircraft Systems
… is a highly nonlinear and incredibly complex controller whose responses are difficult to predict. Many accidents have occurred from pilot error before or after failures and almost always after entering areas of the flight envelope considered as Loss-of-Control regimes. If a pilot's inputs to …

Analysis of Fatal General Aviation Accidents Occurring from Loss of Control on Approach and Landing
… the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), loss of control in-flight is the greatest cause of general aviation accidents. The purpose of this study was to determine the most frequently occurring probable causes and contributing factors from loss of control in-flight. This study used the …

Aircraft loss-of-control prevention via backup flight control law design and flight envelope protection
This dissertation seeks to tackle the aircraft loss-of-control problem by adaptive backup flight control law design and flight envelope protection for aircraft with physical damage. In the first part of the study, a backup lateral-directional flight control law for mid-sized transport aircraft with …

Pilot-in-the-loop simulated flight tests of a loss-of-control prediction and prevention system for NASA's Transport Class Model
In an effort to improve the overall safety of the current and future air transportation system, researchers have been investigating the causes and series of events that can potentially lead to aircraft loss of control (LoC) as well as methods to prevent the occurrence of such events. This …

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 …

A laboratory-based study of mood and eating behavior in overweight children
Loss of control over eating refers to the sense that one cannot control what or how much one is eating. Loss of control eating is prevalent among overweight children and is associated with psychosocial impairment. Self-report data suggest that pediatric loss of control eating may be related to the …

The Effects of Aircraft Certification Rules on General Aviation Accidents
<p>The purpose of this study was to analyze the frequency of general aviation airplane accidents and accident rates on the basis of aircraft certification to determine whether or not differences in aircraft certification rules had an influence on accidents. In addition, the narrative cause …

Crash avoidance by electronic stability control on Australian high speed rural roads: an analysis of braking interventions.
… to road safety associated with the addition of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to passenger vehicles. The greatest benefit to Australia is for crashes on high speed rural roads that occur due to a loss of control. An investigation of what variables in the South Australian statewide crash …

Acquaintances and Other Stories
… preface and short story collection, both of which explore isolation as a theme. The stories speak to the loss of control and fear that often comes with isolation. The collection was heavily influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and my reading of several authors, including Kristen Roupenian, …

Characterisation of the role of peripheral μ-opioid receptors in the behavioural effects of heroin and their underlying neural systems in the rat
The behavioural effects of opioids such as heroin have long been considered to be mediated by central mechanisms. However in recreational use, opioids are administered systemically and can therefore influence peripheral μ-opioid receptor-dependent systems before they reach the brain. In humans, …

Antecedents Of Information Systems Backsourcing
This dissertation examines backsourcing of corporate IS activities, and why IS outsourcing clients decide to backsource. Information Systems (IS) backsourcing is a business practice in which a company takes back in-house assets, activities, and skills that are part of its IS operations and were …

Designing and evaluating an automation display for use with a flight envelope protection system
Complex control tasks involving human operators involve increasingly complex automation. Despite the advanced design of these systems, a disconnect between the pilot and the state of the automation can lead to confusion and potentially loss of control. Recognizing this shortcoming and its negative …

Patterns of Overeating that Characterize Addictive Tendencies towards Palatable Foods
Previous work focusing on the notion of food addiction has shown that in abundant amounts, highly-caloric- and hyper-palatable-foods can lead to addictive tendencies akin to drugs of abuse such as alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, opioids, and methamphetamine. However, such research is still in its …

On Passive-Scoping as a method for Large Language Model Robustness to Jailbreaks and Adversarial Examples
… robustness, but also the natural emergence of unwanted capabilities. Current approaches to safeguarding AI and LLMs predominantly rely on explicitly restricting known instances of these. However, this places a burden on model developers, because they cannot anticipate all the potential …
