چکیده
Objectives: This questionnaire study compared the patterns of reported coping strategies of women high and low in perceived control over hot flushes. Method: A volunteer sample of 38 women fully completed a postal questionnaire. Perceived control was measured by a standardised scale (Reynolds 1997a) and respondents provided qualitative accounts of coping. Results: Consonant with previous findings that higher perceived control is associated with lower distress, the data indicated that women high in self-rated perceived control tended to describe more numerous coping strategies to manage both the physical and socio-emotional discomfort of flush episodes. Preventive strategies were infrequently adopted in both groups. However, the links between distress, control and coping were complex and subject to several influences. Those feeling low in control tended to report rather more numerous flushes (although the differences did not quite reach significance). Also qualitative analysis of coping strategies suggested that it is not always coping behaviour per se that differentiates more and less distressed women, but attitudes towards these behaviours. A coping strategy (such as wearing cotton fabrics) that seems satisfactory to one woman may fundamentally challenge the body-image of another, increasing distress by making her feel drab and different from her pre-menopausal self. Also women often make reference to situational influences on their coping choices. Conclusion: The data support further enquiry into the role of psychological interventions to enhance strategies for coping with hot flushes.

Steady Flow Through Modeled Glottal Constriction
The airflow in the modeled glottal constriction was simulated by the solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flow, and the corresponding Reynolds equations for turbulent flow in generalized, nonorthogonal coordinates using a numerical method. A two-dimensional model of laryngeal flow is considered and aerodynamic properties are calculated for both laminar and turbulent steady flows...

متن کاملUniversal dissipation scaling for nonequilibrium turbulence.
It is experimentally shown that the nonclassical high Reynolds number energy dissipation behavior, C(ε)≡εL/u(3)=f(Re(M))/Re(L), observed during the decay of fractal square grid-generated turbulence (where Re(M) is a global inlet Reynolds number and Re(L) is a local turbulence Reynolds number) is also manifested in decaying turbulence originating from various regular grids. For sufficiently high...
متن کاملDetached-Eddy Simulation Based on the v-f Model
Abstract: Detached-eddy simulation (DES) based on the v-f Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model is developed and tested. The v-f model incorporates the anisotropy of near-wall turbulence, which is absent in other RANS models commonly used in the DES community. The v-f RANS model is modi ed in order that the proposed v-f -based DES formulation reduces to a transport equation for the subgr...
متن کاملSludge pipe flow pressure drop prediction using composite power-law friction factor–Reynolds number correlations based on different non-Newtonian Reynolds numbers
When predicting pressure gradients for the flow of sludges in pipes, the rheology of the fluid plays an important role, especially with increasing concentration of the suspended matter in the sludge. The f-Re relationship is often applied when designing pipelines, but it depends on the rheological parameters of the fluid and what definition of non-Newtonian Reynolds number is used. In this work...
