Materials and methods The questionnaire used for the practicing medics was the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) model of Siegrist et al. The questionnaire used for the students survey was the effort-reward-imbalance (ERI) model for school and student settings. The ERI scores on a 5 point Likert scale. In total, N = 716 medical students completed the questionnaire (65.4% female, 34.6% male). 61% of...

We show that when bulk graphene breaks into n-type and p-type puddles, the in-plane resistivity becomes strongly field dependent in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field even if homogeneous graphene has a field-independent resistivity. We calculate the longitudinal resistivity xx and Hall resistivity xy as a function of field for this system using the effective-medium approximation. Th...

An analytical model is provided for the piezoresistive phenomenon of continuous carbon fiber polymer–matrix composite under flexure. This phenomenon allows strain sensing and entails reversible increase of the tension surface resistance and reversible decrease of the compression surface resistance during flexure. The model considers the surface resistance change to be due to change in the degre...

The objective of this study was to develop a methodology by which the risk from major accident hazards to the environment can be assessed or quantified. An index method, the Environmental Risk Index (ERI), has been developed based on an existing method, the Environmental Hazard Index (EHI), and the Department of the Environment (DoE) definitions of events that would constitute a major accident ...
