Different levels of stress non-uniformity usually occur in test specimens of different dimensions and aspect ratios. The effect of the choice of dimensions on the level of stress nonuniformity for hollow cylindrical specimens was studied using a linear elastic analysis during the development of a new hollow cylinder apparatus. Earlier researchers have assumed slightly different variations in th...

Non-volatile memories are susceptible to special type of faults known as program disturb faults. Testing for such faults requires the application of stress tests which have long application time to distinguish faulty cells from nonfaulty cells. In this paper, we present a new sensing scheme that can be used with stress tests to allow for efficient detection of faulty cells based on the notion o...

this study was conducted over a three-year period (1998, 1999 and 2000) to evaluate some drought tolerance indices and their relations with sugar yield in some sugar beet genotypes under early season drought and non-drought conditions. the experimental design was a split plot with a randomized complete block. the main plots consisted of two irrigation regimes: non-stress and water stress in ear...

Background and Aims: Present study aimed to compare the individual psychological antecedents of perceived stress (self-efficacy and self-esteem) among the athlete and non-athlete staff in an industrial company. Methods: Statistical society was all persons employed in the company including managers, supervisors, experts and workers; 192 athletes and 208 non-athletes were selected randomly. Data ...

INTRODUCTION Exposure to prolonged war stress is understudied. While there is debate regarding the empirical data of the dose-response model for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), little is known about how weekly changes in external stress influences the level of PTSD symptoms. The purpose of this study was to measure the relation between objective external stress and PTSD symptoms across ti...
