Effect of high-stress mixing on polyelectrolyte conditioning of sludges
… these sludges, conditioned with polymers under high-stress, would achieve favorable dewatering rates. Tests were conducted using a variable high speed mixer with root mean square velocity gradient (G) values ranging from 560 - 2000 sec⁻¹ with both anionic and cationic high molecular weight …

ADVANCED MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING - DEVELOPMENT OF THERMALLY STABLE THIN FILMS WITH HIGH STRESS TUNABILITY
… by stacking die or NAND cells vertically. The higher number of film deposition from NAND cell stacking result in higher compressive wafer bow of Production Silicon Wafers which is undesirable in manufacturing process flow due to downstream process and/or yield downside. With increasing vertical …

Improving Continuum Models for Excavations in Rockmasses Under High Stress Through an Enhanced Understanding of Post-Yield Dilatancy
In recent decades, the field of rock engineering has seen an increased use of numerical modelling tools to aid in the analysis and design of underground excavations. Although complex numerical methods have been developed to explicitly capture the discontinuum mechanical processes which dominate …

Predicting performance using galvanic skin response
… predict worker performance on a task under stressful and potentially high risk conditions. Here we show that the biological signal known as galvanic skin response (GSR) allows such a prediction. We conduct an experiment where subjects answer arithmetic questions under low and high stress …

Psychological pathways influencing body fat changes among restrained eaters: Stress, eating and exercise behaviors
… (energy expenditure) as explanations of stress-induced body fat gain of high restrained eaters (dieters), a group identified as being vulnerable to obesity. Participants were female high restrained eaters and low restrained eaters with a mean age of 19.19 years (SD = 0.67). Stress, body …

Stress, Social Support, And Psychological Well-Being In College Students Attending Majority And Minority Institutions
High stress levels can have profound physical and emotional effects. College students frequently experience high levels of stress. While it has been noted that college students frequently report elevated stress levels, it may be that African-American college students are at exceptionally high risk …

Expressions of psychological stress on Twitter: detection and characterisation
Long-term psychological stress is a significant predictive factor for individual mental health and short-term stress is a useful indicator of an immediate problem. Traditional psychology studies have relied on surveys to understand reasons for stress in general and in specific contexts. The …

Permeability and strength of artificially controlled porous media
… that would be able to withstand the rock closure stresses and also remain conductive. A three-dimensional finite element model was developed to study the effects of the shape and the arrangement of inclusions (voids) in the material. Spherical and cylindrical inclusions were studied. Three …

Debriefing in the Emergency Department
… Department (ED) staff are repeatedly exposed to high stress situations and as a result suffer from compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, burnout and high turnover rates. Staff turnover is costly to the health system in the form of training new …

Supportive and Unsupportive Responses From Parents as Moderators of the Relationship Between Stressful Events and Negative Outcomes in Adolescents
… was to investigate the relationship between stressful events in adolescents and negative outcomes of substance use, depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. Parental support and unsupportive parental responses were examined as moderators of this relationship. The research design was …

Bolted Flange Alternatives for Moment -Resisting Connections
… connections eliminated the backing bar, used high quality shop weld, and reduced the high stress and strain demand on the weld. Therefore, the failure of the bottom flange weld did not occur. However, for connections using the bottom girder flange component only, the inelastic mode of failure …

Improving line yield at Fab17
… The thesis then studies line yield excursions in high leverage functional areas in detail. Two major root causes are identified. First, in the reorganization, many technicians switched to new roles and had to be retrained. The training was rushed. Due to low level of automation, processing wafer …
