Stress recognition Role stress plays at work 1 am less effective at work when fatigued. 

Stress-corrosion cracking results from the interactions, in a critically interdependent manner, between an environment, a metal and the response of the latter to the application of an appropriate stress. Recognition of these conjoint requirements has frequently led to the use of tests that attempt to simulate a practical situation, especially with regard to the structure and composition of the material, but less frequently in the manner in which the stress is generated in the testpiece and in achieving representative environmental conditions. 

Industrial hygiene The science and art devoted to the anticipation, recognition, evaluation, and control of those environmental factors or stresses arising from the workplace which cause sickness, impaired health and well-being, or significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers or among the citizens of the community. 

A sequence stretch 300 base pairs upstream of the transcriptional start site suffices for most of the transcriptional regulation of the IL-6 gene (Fig. 1). Within this sequence stretch several transcription factors find their specific recognition sites. In 5 to 3 direction, AP-1, CREB, C/EBP 3/NF-IL6, SP-1 and NF-kB can bind to the promoter followed by TATA and its TATA binding protein TBP. Most enhancer factors become active in response to one or several different stimuli and the active factors can trigger transcription individually or in concert. For example, AP-1 is active upon cellular stress, or upon stimuli that tell cells to proliferate CREB becomes also active if cells experience growth signals, but also upon elevation of intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which occurs upon stimulation if so called hormone-activated G protein-coupled receptors. 

As this suggests, the major problem we face is the recognition and isolation of genes which confer stress tolerance. Thereafter, we may use reverse genetics to confirm the adaptive significance of these genes. Other approaches to gene isolation will now be discussed.
