average stress
11Effects of stress on memory — The effects of stress on memory include interference with one’s capacity to encode and ability retrieve information.[1] When stress occurs, the body reacts by secreting stress hormones into the blood stream. Over secretion of stress hormones most …
12Shear stress — SI symbol: τ SI unit: pascal Derivations from other quantities: τ = F / A …
13Critical incident stress management — (CISM) is an adaptive short term helping process that focuses solely on an immediate and identifiable problem. It spans pre incident preparedness to acute crisis to post crisis follow up. Its stated purpose is to enable people to return to their… …
14Cyclic stress — in engineering refers to an internal distribution of forces (a stress) that changes over time in a repetitive fashion. As an example, consider one of the large wheels used to drive an aerial lift such as a ski lift. The wire cable wrapped around… …
15Coulomb stress transfer — is an interaction criterion that promises a deeper understanding of earthquake occurrence, and a better description of probabilistic hazard. When an earthquake reduces the average value of the shear stress on the fault that slipped, shear stress… …
16acceleration stress — ▪ physiology Introduction physiological changes that occur in the human body in motion as a result of rapid increase of speed. Rapid acceleration and surges in acceleration are felt more critically than are gradual shifts. Pilots are… …
17Virial stress — is a measure of mechanical stress on an atomic scale. It is given by: au {ij} = frac{1}{Omega} sum {k in Omega} left( m^{(k)} (u i^{(k)} ar{u} i) (u j^{(k)} ar{u} j) + frac{1}{2} sum {ell in Omega} ( x i^{(ell)} x i^{(k)}) f j^{(kell)}… …
18Housing stress — describes a situation where the cost of housing (either as rental, or as a mortgage) is high relative to household income. It may also be used to describe inadequate housing for a proportion of the population.As a general rule of thumb, a… …
19Quartz crystal microbalance — A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measures a mass per unit area by measuring the change in frequency of a quartz crystal resonator. The resonance is disturbed by the addition or removal of a small mass due to oxide growth/decay or film… …
20Strength of materials — Internal force lines are denser near the hole, a common stress concentration In materials science, the strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied stress without failure. The applied stress may be tensile, compressive, or shear …
