High-pressure torsion (HPT) is a severe plastic deformation technique used to refine the microstructure of materials by applying both high pressure and torsional strain. [1] HPT involves compressing a material between two anvils while simultaneously rotating one of the anvils, inducing shear deformation. [ 2 ]
Thomas F. Gilbert (1927–1995) was a psychologist who is often known as the founder of the field of performance technology, also known as Human Performance Technology (HPT). Gilbert himself coined and used the term Performance Engineering.

“The history of 12-step came out of white, middle-class, Protestant people who want to be respectable,” said historian Nancy Campbell, a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. “It offers a form of community and a form of belonging that is predicated upon you wanting to be normal, you wanting to be respectable, you wanting to have ...
