Today’s endeavor of performance and accomplishment might bring more efficiency in many ways, but it has a price. Stress related diseases have increased in numbers the last decades and the field of stress is an exceptionally live issue. Linkura is a company which partly works towards identifying and decreasing stress. To be able to monitor and detect stress in people’s daily life, an ECGdevice i...

this study examined the phonetic characteristics of persian sentence stress produced by native mandarin chinese speakers. we compared the phonetic correlates of sentence stress, namely fundamental frequency (f0), vowel duration, and vowel intensity in the production of 8 mandarin chinese speakers and 8 native persian speakers. results indicated that mandarin chinese speakers of persian could di...

Skin sympathetic nerve activity (SSNA) exhibits low- and high-frequency spectral components in normothermic subjects. However, spectral characteristics of SSNA in heat-stressed subjects are unknown. Because the main components of the integrated SSNA during heat stress (sudomotor/vasodilator activities) are different from those during normothermia and cooling (vasoconstrictor activity), we hypot...

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...
