How Stress Can Reduce Dissipation in Glasses [PDF]
We propose that stress can decrease the internal friction of amorphous solids, either by increasing the potential barriers of defects, thus reducing their tunneling and thermal activation that produce loss, or by decreasing the coupling between defects and phonons.

Caseness and comorbidity of probable (complex) post-traumatic stress disorder and depression in survivors of genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda: the role of social determinants [PDF]
<jats:p> Numerous studies have been conducted among survivors of the genocide against the Tutsi on the prevalence of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, thus far, no studies provide information on the frequency of comorbidity of

Subthreshold Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PDF]
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a very broad category among mental disorders. Since its inclusion in DSM-III, the diagnostic criteria of post-traumatic stress disorder has undergone a number of changes.

The emergence of Airy stress function in two-dimensional disordered packings of particles [PDF]
The packing of hard-core particles in contact with their neighbors offers the statically determinate problem which allows analytical investigation of the stress tensor distribution. We construct the stress probability functional and derive the complete set of equations for the tensor components in two-dimensions.

The Stress Transmission Universality Classes of Periodic Granular Arrays [PDF]
The transmission of stress is analysed for static periodic arrays of rigid grains, with perfect and zero friction. For minimal coordination number (which is sensitive to friction, sphericity and dimensionality), the stress distribution is soluble without reference to the corresponding displacement fields.

The epidemiology of post-traumatic stress disorder after disasters.
Traumatic experiences are relatively common. More than two thirds of persons in the general population may experience a significant traumatic event at some point in their lives, and up to one fifth of people in the United States may experience such an ...

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly prevalent disorder and a highly debilitating condition. Although anhedonia is an important construct of the disorder, the relationship between PTSD and reward functioning is still under-researched.

Coordinated Stress-Structure Self-Organization in Granular Packing [PDF]
During quasi-static dynamics of granular systems, the stress and structure self-organise, but there is currently no quantitative measure or understanding of this phenomenon. Such an understanding is essential because local structural properties of the settled material are then correlated with the local stress, which calls into question existing linear ...
