background: automobile manufacturing industries are considered among the main sites where accidents are likely to happen. from a cognitive point of view, stress can cause problems such as poor concentration, absent-mindedness, and hesitancy while making decisions. this study examines the relationship between job stress and occupational accidents in an automobile manufacturing company. methods: ...

coping style is one of the substantial factors influencing sport achievements insport competitions. the main aim of the present study was to examine the effect ofsport stress coping styles on sources of acute stress and salivary cortisol inwrestlers. with regard to the criteria and variables of this study, 30 out of 270active national wrestlers participated according to the cut-off point of cop...

The chemical equilibrium distribution of point defects modeled as non-overlapping, spherical inclusions with purely positive dilatational eigenstrain in an isotropically elastic solid is derived. The compressive self-stress inside existing inclusions must be excluded from the stress dependence of the equilibrium concentration of the point defects, because it does no work when a new inclusion is...

background: evaluating the factors influence student perception, might allow programmatic changes designed to enhance students’ psychosocial well-being and academic performance. the purpose of this study was to investigate perceived sources of stress on dental students and the role of parents in their career choice decisions. methods: in a cross-sectional design , a modified dental environmenta...

this study was conducted to determine water stress tolerance of two iranian dudaim melons (kerman & birjand) and one iranian muskmelon (samsoury). throughout the experiment, three different levels of irrigation with three irrigation starting points (-50, -65 and -75 cb of matric potential) were employed. results indicated that water stress significantly affected yield, firmness, fruit sugars as...

stress-corrosion cracking (scc) tests were conducted in the near-neutral ph standard solution, ns4, and in an actual soil solution, using four-point bending at a high stress ratio and low frequency conditions very similar to those of operational pipelines. pitting incubation appeared first and then pitting initiated and grew in both solutions although there were many more pits on the specimen t...

We introduce a rigorously based numerical method for compliance minimization problems in the presence of point wise stress constraints. The method is based on new multiscale quantities that measure the amplification of the local stress due to the microstructure. The design method is illustrated for two different kinds of problems. The first identifies suitably graded distributions of fibers ins...

This paper focuses on recent evidence of etiopathogenetic links between fibromyalgia and life stress. From an etiologic point of view, studies concerning the role of adverse life events, personality and lifestyle factors, post-traumatic stress, and negative childhood experiences are reviewed. From a pathogenetic point of view, neurobiologic links between stress and fibromyalgia symptoms, notabl...
