Temporal disturbance of a model stream ecosystem by high microbial diversity from treated wastewater
Microbial communities in freshwater streams play an essential role in ecosystem functioning via biogeochemical cycling. Yet, the impacts of treated wastewater influx into stream ecosystems on microbial strain diversity remain mostly unexplored.

Resilience: Safety in the Aftermath of Traumatic Stressor Experiences
The relationship between adverse experiences and the emergence of pathology has often focused on characteristics of the stressor or of the individual (stressor appraisals, coping strategies).

Association between changes in heart rate variability during the anticipation of a stressful situation and the stress-induced cortisol response [PDF]
Vagal activity - reflecting the activation of stress regulatory mechanisms and prefrontal cortex activation - is thought to play an inhibitory role in the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.

THE COLD PRESSOR TEST – A MEASUREMENT OF THE CARDIAC AUTONOMIC RESPONSES IN INDIVIDUALS WITH ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND STRESS SYMPTOMS [PDF]
The cold pressor test examines the cardio-vascular reactivity during certain physiological states - rest, stress and recovery. Currently it is a widespread tool for laboratory induced stress in an experimental setting amongst various fields of science ...

Effects of salinity changes on aquatic organisms in a multiple stressor context
Under global change, the ion concentration of aquatic ecosystems is changing worldwide. Many freshwater ecosystems are being salinized by anthropogenic salt inputs, whereas many naturally saline ones are being diluted by agricultural drainages.

Reliability improvement of electronic circuits based on physical failure mechanisms in components [PDF]
Traditionally the position of reliability analysis in the design and production process of electronic circuits is a position of reliability verification. A completed design is checked on reliability aspects and either rejected or accepted for production.
