An early-life reliability model is presented that allows wafer test information to be used to predict not only the total number of burn-in failures that occur for a given product, but also the time at which they occur during burn-in testing. The model is a novel extension of an experimentally verified yield-reliability model based on the fact that defects that cause earlylife reliability (burn-...

Marked hypersensitivity to heat and mechanical (pressure) stimuli develop after a burn injury, but the neural mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood. In this study, we establish a new mouse model of focal second-degree burn injury to investigate the molecular and cellular basis for burn injury-induced pain. This model features robust injury-induced behavioral effects and tiss...

AIM To explore the relationship between sources of stress and psychological burn-out and to consider the moderating and mediating role played sources of stress and different coping resources on burn-out. BACKGROUND Most research exploring sources of stress and coping in nursing students construes stress as psychological distress. Little research has considered those sources of stress likely t...

OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy is a well-documented disabling sequela of major burn injury. These lesions are associated with both thermal and electrical injuries that may be frequently undiagnosed or overlooked in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of burn-related neuropathy in our database and to investigate the clinical correlates for both mononeuro...
