The effect of non-verbal music on posttraumatic stress disorder in mothers of premature neonates
Background: Hospitalization of a premature neonate in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is stressful for mothers. They show symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It is important to use the proper strategy to manage PTSD. This study was

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.

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.

Human brain evolution and the "Neuroevolutionary Time-depth Principle:" Implications for the Reclassification of fear-circuitry-related traits in DSM-V and for studying resilience to warzone-related posttraumatic stress disorder. [PDF]
The DSM-III, DSM-IV, DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10 have judiciously minimized discussion of etiologies to distance clinical psychiatry from Freudian psychoanalysis.

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 ...

Fiber networks below the isostatic point: fracture without stress concentration [PDF]
Crack nucleation is a ubiquitous phenomena during materials failure, because stress focuses on crack tips. It is known that exceptions to this general rule arise in the limit of strong disorder or vanishing mechanical stability, where stress distributes over a divergent length scale and the material displays diffusive damage.

Spatial clustering of mental disorders and associated characteristics of the neighbourhood context in Malmö, Sweden, in 2001 [PDF]
Study objective: Previous research provides preliminary evidence of spatial variations of mental disorders and associations between neighbourhood social context and mental health. This study expands past literature by (1) using spatial techniques, rather
