Propagation behavior of two collinear mode Ⅰ cracks driven by explosive gas
In smooth pre-splitting blasting, two collinear cracks extending opposite to each other between adjacent holes will first avoid each other and then attract each other, resulting in crack propagation path that often presents hooked or butterfly-shaped ...

Differences in perceived parental stress between parents with very low birth weight infants and nurses in neonatal intensive care units, South Korea [PDF]
Purpose This descriptive study compared the perceived parental stress levels between parents with very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) and nurses in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods In total, 83 parents of VLBWIs and 78 NICU nurses were

T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ Deformation of stress-tensor correlators from random geometry
We study stress-tensor correlators in the T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ -deformed conformal field theories in two dimensions. Using the random geometry approach to the T T ¯ $$ T\overline{T} $$ deformation, we develop a geometrical method to compute stress ...

The work investigates the importance of the K-T approach in the modelling of pressure cracked structures. T-stress is the constant in the second term of the Williams expression; it is often negligible, but recent literature has shown that there are cases

T-stress determination using thermoelastic stress analysis [PDF]
T-stress and mixed-mode stress intensity factors have been determined experimentally using thermoelastic stress analysis and using a finite element method. Pure mode I, strong mixed-mode I and II, and interacting cracks have been used as the case studies. A new technique has been proposed to identify the crack tip from thermoelastic images.

Psychological stress exerts effects on pathogenesis of hepatitis B via type-1/type-2 cytokines shift toward type-2 cytokine response. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Psychological and physical stress has been demonstrated to have an impact on health through modulation of immune function. Despite high prevalence of stress among patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, little is known about whether ...
