Psychological stress and neutrophil function [PDF]
, 2011 Little is known about neutrophil function, an important component of innate immunity, in relation to psychosocial factors. This thesis investigated the effect of acute and chronic psychological stressors on human neutrophil function among young and ...

Fatigue Crack Growth in Complex Stress Fields [PDF]
, 2008 Fatigue crack growth has been traditionally modelled using LEFM through the use of the Paris law. This requires an accurate method for stress intensity factor (K) calculation. Weight functions have been developed for one-dimensional cracks (e.g.

Stress, the cortisol awakening response and cognitive function [PDF]
, 2020 There is evidence that stress-induced disruption of the circadian rhythm of cortisol secretion, has negative consequences for brain health. The cortisol awakening response (CAR) is the most prominent and dynamic aspect of this rhythm.

Basis functions for residual stresses [PDF]
Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2020 We consider arbitrary preexisting residual stress states in arbitrarily shaped, unloaded bodies. These stresses must be self-equilibrating and traction free. Common treatments of the topic tend to focus on either the mechanical origins of the stress, or methods of stress measurement at certain locations.

A novel weight function for RMS stress intensity factor determination in surface cracks [PDF]
, 2010 This paper discusses the problem of stress intensity factor determination in surface cracks. In particular, the concept of root mean square stress intensity factors (RMS SIF) is discussed for the general class of semi-elliptical surface cracks.

Oxidative Stress and Lung Function [PDF]
American Journal of Epidemiology, 1997 It has been suggested that lung function can be altered by both free radical and oxidant exposure, while antioxidant vitamin intake is positively related to lung function. However, the information on the relation of blood levels of oxidants and antioxidants to lung function is sparse.
