Supersaturation induced by current stressing

Scripta Materialia, 2011
Current stressing results in electromigration and thus separation of metal atoms in an alloy. The present study reports that current stressing also induces the supersaturation of alloying elements. An in situ scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis revealed that the dispersed Sn phase of 95Pb–5Sn solder in a 95Pb–5Sn/63Sn ...

The prenatal stress syndrome: Current status

Psychoneuroendocrinology, 1984
Exposure of female rats to stressors during the last week of pregnancy results in a selective feminization and demasculinization of adult sexual behaviors in the male offspring. No behavioral abnormalities are detectable in the female offspring, and reproductive morphological structures appear normal in both sexes.

Current management of stress urinary incontinence

BJU International, 2004
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is the most commonly recommended conservative therapy for women with SUI. PFMT is used to rehabilitate or strengthen the PFMs; it increases the ability to produce an increase in urethral resistance, provided the patient is able to perform a correct voluntary PFM contraction.

Stress at work: the current perspective

Journal of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health, 2003
Stress caused by work is costing UK organisations dearly. However, despite numerous appalling statistics and increased publicity around the problem, many organisations are still failing to do anything to reduce it. This article suggests reasons why this is the case and outlines attempts by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to try to overcome the ...

Current concepts in female stress urinary incontinence

The Surgeon, 2008
Urinary incontinence is a social burden for up to one-third of the adult female population. Careful assessment, a methodical approach and appropriate treatment can lead to long-term success in the management of these patients. This article gives an outline of current concepts in the evaluation and treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Biased Surface Fluctuations due to Current Stress

Physical Review Letters, 2007
Direct correlation between temporal structural fluctuations and electron wind force is demonstrated, for the first time, by STM imaging and analysis of atomically resolved motion on a thin film surface under large applied current (10(5) A/cm2). The magnitude of the momentum transfer between current carriers and the geometrically constrained atoms in ...

Interconnect and current density stress

Proceedings of the 2005 international workshop on System level interconnect prediction, 2005
Electromigration due to excessive current density stress in the interconnect can cause the premature failure of an electronic circuit. The ongoing reduction of circuit feature sizes has aggravated the problem over the last couple of years. It is therefore an important reliability issue to consider electromigration-related design parameters during ...

Current Studies on Oxidant Stress in Dialysis

Blood Purification, 2003
Breath ethane measurements in hemodialysis indicate that a portion of these patients suffer increased oxidant stress, consistent with findings using other methods for oxidant stress determination. Loosely-bound iron definitely appears in the bloodstream when substantial doses of IV iron are administered, since transferrin is fully saturated, but our ...

Current Developments Concerning Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 2009
Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is one of the most common lower leg injuries in athletes who run. Studies have reported MTSS to occur in 4% to 20% of this population. It can be defined as an overuse injury that creates pain over an area covering the distal to middle third of the posteriomedial tibial border, which occurs during exercise and ...

Stress Physiology and Current Approaches

Plants often encounter environmental stressors in both wild and cultivated environments. Certain environmental stressors, like air temperature, only last a few minutes, but others, like soil water content, might persist for several days. Stress might last for months if there is a mineral shortage in the soil.
