Patterns of large-scale stresses are affected by the Earth’s curvature. Thus, the geometries of stress fields are strongly dependent on the chosen coordinate reference system (CRS) and projection. Each combination of a CRS and a projection yields different geometries. For that reason, spherical m...
Micro-organisms achieve robustness to environmental perturbations (for example changes in nutrient levels, pH or temperature) through a large-scale re-arrangement of gene regulation known as the stress response. In broad terms, this response consists of shifting resources away from growth and ...
The assessment of depression and anxiety is possible via a number of metrics that have been validated in general populations. TheDepression Anxiety Stress Scale21 is one patient-centered outcome that has been validated and is easy to administrate.36This metric is considered useful because it may id...
2.2 Damage Characterization in Soft Biological Tissue In general, damage may be defined as “injury or harm that reduces value or usefulness” (Famaey et al., 2013). Thus, a quantification of damage can be performed by evaluating the reduction in “value” or “usefulness.” Modeling damage ...
The aim of this study is to analyze the existing research works and findings in relation to the prevalence of stress, anxiety and depression in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method In this systematic review and meta-analysis, articles that have focused on stress and ...
Therefore, the young man explains, he decided to undergo psychotherapy in general. "When I experienced a music therapy session, I felt great relief and a beautiful feeling of optimism that I had not felt in years." Julia and Mahmoud are among the dozens of people receiving music therapy at...
, and one group completed the Parental Stress Scale twice. Analyses suggested that the Parental Stress Scale is highly reliable, both internally and over time, and related to the general measure of stress. Also, results were consistent across parents of differing parental characteristics, suggesting ...
Israel meanwhile intensified military operations in Rafah and took control of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing, a crucial passage for humanitarian aid entering the enclave and wounded civilians leaving the strip. Israel has launched a large-scale offensive against Hamas in Gaza since Oct....
In general, transgenic mouse models overexpressing mutant humanSOD1showed increased activity by the enzyme [32]. However, in the end stage of the disease, SOD1 activity in SOD1 G93A mice remained at the same level as wild-type SOD in non-transgenic mice [86]. What is interesting is that...
It is therefore of high interest to understand the distribution of stress drop in space and time for different geological and tectonic settings. While there is a long debate about the general scale invariance of stress drop, i.e., whether or not the stress drop increases with seismic moment,...
