A Neurophysiological Examination Of Stress Control In Martial Artists
… martial arts individuals can gain better control over stress. We tested this idea by using controlled physical stressors to elicit an acute stress response from martial artists (n=15) and non-martial artists (n=18). To measure the extent of the stress response, we looked at changes in …

Determining the Effects of Basic Feedback and Directive Feedback Environments on Task Productivity, Accuracy, Perceived Stress, Control and Demand under Forced Choice and Mixed Choice Progressive Ratio Schedules of Reinforcement
… and workers benefit from well-designed behavior control systems. These systems may contribute at differing levels of efficacy towards maximizing measures of productivity, accuracy, and problem-solving behavior through individual and group environmental intervention using performance feedback. An …

Evaluation of a mental skills training program implemented by an elementary classroom teacher.
… themselves at will, (2) successfully implemented stress control strategies, and (3) improved the frequency of their highlights (any simple pleasure, joy, or other positive experience that improves the quality of one's day). Two intact classes of grade 2 children took part in the study. One class …

Achieving large stable vertical displacement in surface-micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
… pull-in, thinner beams are used which exploit stress stiffening. This, in turn, creates a number of stress control hazards because tensile stress in one layer can induce buckling in a lower layer. These issues have been solved with detailed attention to supports and their compliance. A …

Bump control design protocol for room-and-pillar retreat mining
A stress control design protocol was developed to minimize coal mine bumps, which are the explosive failure of highly stressed pillars. The protocol was developed for room-and-pillar retreat mining conducted with available continuous miner technology. The inability of existing coal pillar equations …

Autogenic regulation training (ART), sickness absence, personal problems, time and the emotional-physical stress of student nurses in general training : a report of a longitudinal field investigation
… in providing a method of coping with individual stress. Analyses were made between and within an ART group of student nurses and a comparison group who did not receive training in ART. Consideration was also given to individual differences of student nurses in each group.Particular attention was …

Dynamic Effects of Stress and Hostility: Group Differences in Cardiovascular Regulation and Learning
… asymmetry in response to pain (cold pressor stressor) and affective verbal learning (positive and negative valenced word lists) were measured. High- and low-hostile participants (n = 64) were identified using the Cook Medley Hostility Scale. Participants completed either the cold-pressor …

The Response of Preosteoblasts to Combined Shear and Thermal Stress for Bone Tissue Engineering
… highly responsive to mechanical stimuli, shear stress has been extensively studied for its ability to enhance osteogenic differentiation through mechanotransduction. In addition, thermal stress has also been explored as a conditioning method to stimulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, …
