Fatigue detection software is intended to reduce fatigue related fatalities and incidents. Several companies are working on a technology for use in industries such as mining, road- and rail haulage and aviation. The technology may soon find wider applications in industries such as health care and education. [citation needed]
Alarm fatigue occurs in many fields, including construction [2] and mining [3] (where vehicle back-up alarms sound so frequently that they often become senseless background noise), healthcare [4] (where electronic monitors tracking clinical information such as vital signs and blood glucose sound alarms so frequently, and often for such minor ...
Low cycle fatigue (LCF) has two fundamental characteristics: plastic deformation in each cycle; and low cycle phenomenon, in which the materials have finite endurance for this type of load. The term cycle refers to repeated applications of stress that lead to eventual fatigue and failure; low-cycle pertains to a long period between applications.
The Greek historian Polybius, in his Histories, gives a graphic account of mining and counter mining at the Roman siege of Ambracia: . The Aetolians ... offered a gallant resistance to the assault of the siege artillery and [the Romans], therefore, in despair had recourse to mines and tunnels.
Automated mining involves the removal of human labor from the mining process. [1] The mining industry is in the transition towards automation . It can still require a large amount of human capital , particularly in the developing world where labor costs are low so there is less incentive to increase efficiency.

A multi-factor authentication fatigue attack (also MFA fatigue attack or MFA bombing) is a computer security attack against multi-factor authentication that makes use of social engineering. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] When MFA applications are configured to send push notifications to end users, an attacker can send a flood of login attempts in the hope ...
The Siilinjärvi carbonatite complex, [1] an open-pit mine owned by Yara International, in Siilinjärvi, Finland Coal strip mine in Wyoming. Surface mining, including strip mining, open-pit mining and mountaintop removal mining, is a broad category of mining in which soil and rock overlying the mineral deposit (the overburden) are removed, in contrast to underground mining, in which the ...
