A new framework for understanding stress and disease: the developmental model of stress as applied to multiple sclerosis

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience
This paper proposes a new model of stress that integrates earlier models and adds insights from developmental psychology. Previous models describe the behavioral and physical effects of stress events, but have not explained the translation of experiences

Subdividing Stress Groups into Eustress and Distress Groups Using Laterality Index Calculated from Brain Hemodynamic Response

Biosensors, 2022
A stress group should be subdivided into eustress (low-stress) and distress (high-stress) groups to better evaluate personal cognitive abilities and mental/physical health.

Effect of stress and temperature on the optical properties of silicon nitride membranes at 1550 nm [PDF]

, 2018
Future gravitational-wave detectors operated at cryogenic temperatures are expected to be limited by thermal noise of the highly reflective mirror coatings. Silicon nitride is an interesting material for such coatings as it shows very low mechanical loss,

Model Updating for a Continuous Concrete Girder Bridge Using Data from Construction Monitoring

Applied Sciences, 2023
Finite element (FE) model updating can guarantee the accuracy of the numerical analyses for civil structures. However, two deficiencies currently exist with the traditional FE model updating technique based on the measurements of modal parameters and/or ...

High-precision determination of residual stress of polycrystalline coatings using optimised XRD-sin2ψ technique [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of the research is to optimise the XRD-sin2ψ technique in order to perform high precision measurement of surface residual stress. Residual stresses existing in most hard coatings have significant influence on the adhesion, mechanical properties

Treatment Decision‐Making Roles and Preferences Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Decision‐making (DM) dynamics between adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer, parents, and oncologists remain underexplored in diverse populations. We examined cancer treatment DM preferences among an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse group of AYAs and their parents.
