Afterwards, participants were asked to rate the funniness of the clips on a 10-point scale (1 = not at all funny, 10 = very funny) to check whether the films successfully induced a humorous mood. At the beginning of the second phase, we assessed the individual level of pain ...
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 ...
Low temperature (LT) is a major threat that limits growth, development, and distribution leading to plant damage and crop losses. Plants respond to cold stress through a phenomenon known as cold acclimation, which is a complex process involving changes a
Borritz, Villadsen, & Christensen2005). This scale captures elements of exhaustion, negative job attitudes, and a loss of concern and feeling for patients. Items are rated on a five-point rating scale from 1 (‘never’) to 5 (‘always’), and the scale has robust psychometric...
Self-rated mental health was assessed in all cycles after the first cycle using the question: “In general, would you say your mental health is: 1) excellent, 2) very good, 3) good, 4) fair, or 5) poor.” Self-rated stress was assessed in all cycles along a five-point scale ...
then average stress is a good substitute. The nominal stress approach ignores the presence of stress concentrations caused by both geometry effects and effects resulting from the welding or bolting process. The detail categories were determined based on full-scale welded or bolted components subjected ...

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 ...
(>50%), negatively and significantly correlates with impacts on ecosystem services and that having multiple stressors crossing a high-level critical threshold (over 75% of maximum observed levels) reduces soil biodiversity and functioning globally. The number of environmental stressors exceeding the >...
Adrenaline and noradrenaline release is facilitated by the SAM axis which responds on a timescale of milliseconds to enable rapid responses to stressors, whether physiological such as exercise or psychosocial, such as stress58. Adrenergic molecules are believed to have a short half-life in the ...
