Article Abstract
Objective: The driver's inability to fully absorb and react to operational cues while driving is like boiling a frog in warm water. With intermittent, low-volume information, drivers can underreact by ignoring these minor but continuous changes. This paper aims to provide an opportunity to test the effects of intermittently occurring low-volume information on drivers.
Methods: A real vehicle test with naturalistic driving was used to collect driving speed data from 40 drivers on a highway tunnel section in Chongqing, China, where nine tunnels are located. Drivers were classified into three categories according to the degree of compliance of their driving speed with the speed limit required by traffic signs, and drivers were analyzed in terms of their sensitivity to traffic signs and their reaction to driving maneuvers.
Results: Conservative drivers are the most absorbent of low-volume intermittent information, and the cumulative effect of the frog effect does not exceed 2.00 km; eager drivers tend to ignore this information, and the cumulative effect of the frog effect reaches 2.91 km; and the general type of driver is in the middle of these two types of drivers, and the frog effect gradually penetrates the driving speed in a weakly increasing manner, up to a maximum of 9.8 km.
Conclusion: At the beginning of a journey, drivers are most sensitive to traffic signs, and low-volume intermittent information can also play a role in guiding driving operations effectively at this time. However, as the driving distance increases, the effect of the frog effect on different types of drivers gradually increases, even exceeding the effect caused by the black-and-white hole effect, especially when driving in tunnel groups. Considering the driving characteristics of different types of drivers to improve the deployment of low-volume intermittent information and reduce the distance of the frog effect can effectively improve driving safety.

Tabata-based High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) elicits hybrid adaptations in both cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular systems. However, its high Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) may limit its feasibility. This study aimed to analyze the acute physiological and psychological responses to a modified low-volume Tabata-based HIFT incorporating short efforts, with a focus on potential differences between sexes.

Recycling end-of-life (EoL) solar panels is recognized as a sustainable option to keep their EoL clean and also to ensure material circularity. However, understanding the concerned stakeholders' viewpoints and analysing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of recycling in the target country context is very important. This study aims to achieve these objectives in the context of Bangladesh.

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to evaluate in detail the late outcomes of the overall endovascular cohort of the PARADE study, with a focus on factors that could influence such outcomes as these may provide useful insights for patients and clinicians alike.
Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2023 patients with nonacute elective popliteal artery aneurysms undergoing endovascular exclusion with the Viabahn stent graft were included in a multicenter retrospective cohort study (40 sites from 10 countries). A cut-off of 15 procedures was used to define a participating center as high volume (>15) or low volume (<15).
Effects of low-volume court-based sprint interval training on aerobic capacity and sport-specific endurance performance in competitive tennis players.

Sprint interval training (SIT) is a potent exercise strategy to enhance athletes' aerobic capacity in a time-efficient manner. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a low-volume court-based SIT program on aerobic capacity and sport-specific endurance performance for competitive tennis players. Sixteen competitive collegiate tennis players were randomly assigned to the SIT (court-based repeated-sprint training) and traditional endurance training (ET; 45-min continuous treadmill running) groups for a 6-week intervention (3 sessions/week).
