Psychological stress was measured before humor induction and directly after stress induction by asking participants to rate their stress level on a scale from 1 to 10. Additionally, a total of four salivary cortisol samples were taken per participant: the first before the humor induction phase (...
The atomic-scale simulations have shown that synergistic adsorption of H and Cl atoms in the octahedral interstices minimizes the surface energy of the cleavage planes (0 0 1) owing to a 73% reduction, while the surface energy only decreases by 28% under the condition of hydrogen adsorption ...
Self-rated stress was assessed in all cycles along a five-point scale using the following question: “Thinking about the amount of stress in your life, would you say that most days are: 1) not at all stressful, 2) not very stressful, 3) a bit stressful, 4) quite a bit stressful, ...
Apostichopus japonicus occupies huge Asia seafood market, particularly in China, which motivated the boom of large-scale aquaculture and artificial breeding (Han et al., 2021; Xu et al., 2015; Zhu et al., 2022). Water temperature is key environmental factor for A. japonicus, and heat in ...

On an even finer scale, Yamada et al. (2010) investigated stress drops of small earthquakes that occurred on the fault plane of the 2006 Kīholo Bay earthquake (M W 6.7) and compared the values of stress drop to the slip distribution of the earthquake. They found that small earthquakes ...
Fig. 8. The expression level of DEGs in stress signal transduction between high (40 °C for 1 h) and control (25 °C for 1 h) treatments. The colour scale at the right ranges from the lowest (blue) to the highest (red) FPKM value. The i.d. of gene name at the left ranges wa...
The apparent contradiction of these results has been explained as a function of the plant background in which the BiP basal level and the cellular secretory activity would signal the necessity of BiP up- or down-regulation under drought. More recently, genomic scale information on stress-induced ...
Scale bar = 100 nm. b) The presence of multivesicular bodies was scored as described under methods. N = 15 tomograms (fields of view) for wild-type MEFs and N = 27 tomograms (fields of view) for Tfam+/−MEFs. Data are reported as mean ± SD. c) Airyscan imaging ...
scale is, “I find strength in my religion or spirituality.” Reponses range from 1 = many times a day to 6 = never with scores ranging from 16 to 96. The 16th item on the scale is reversed coded and then the items were summed. The total score was reversed so that higher...
