Figure 1.3 Hans Selye was a pioneer in the fieid of stress research. He systematicaiiy studied the stress response and defined how we think about stress and its effects on the body.

Another fundamental molecular property of interest in pharmaceutical stress research as well as in the rest of chemistry is the pKa of acidic groups (or pKh of basic groups) in a compound. The pKa of a compound in hand is more easily—and reliably—determined experimentally than by computational chemistry. In cases where an experiment on a molecule of interest cannot be done for whatever reason, then a reasonable approach for obtaining an approximate pKa is to look in compilations of pKa values of known...

In plants, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and plant metabolism was considered as two primary factors on ultraweak bioluminescence (UBL).45 At present, UBL is applied in plant anti-stress research, but the ultraweak bioluminescence (UBL) under Cd stress has not been studied. In this report, the alleviating effects of SA and La3+ on Cd-stress was analyzed by detecting UBL.

But the worm research did have some interesting spin-offs. Mice that were fed the brains and livers of other mice subjected to stress — researchers had rolled them around in glass jars — learned to associate a light stimulus with electric shock faster than other test animals. It seems that stress hormones transferred by diet enhanced learning.

Alternatively, stress theories are adopted fiom industrial, social, and persortality psychology (Kahrr, 1981 Karasek Theorell, 1990 Lazarus Folkman, 1984). Stress theories describe the relatiortship between person and envirorrmerrt. The evaluation of the sitrration (Lazarus Folkman, 1984) or the perceived controllability of the sitrration (Karasek Theorell, 1990) is central in these theories. Stress research examines the work-health relationship by investigating the influence of the work envirorrment on well-beirrg, psychosomatic complaints, and health risks. 

The two research lines described here constitute the baseline for the most important approaches in engineering psychophysiology the investigation of mental workload with psychophysiological indices and the investigation of the work-health relationship in stress research. An outline of these two approaches is given in the next two sections.

A nonprofit organization established in 1978 to serve as a clearinghouse for information on all stress related subjects. It maintains a library of information and reprints on all stress-related topics from scientific and lay publications, which can be ordered. A monthly newsletter is issued that reports on the latest advances in stress research and relevant health issues, and it also sponsors an international forum for the exchange of research information.

Hans Selye, the Austrian-born founder of stress research said, "Complete freedom from stress is death" (Selye, 1974). It is extreme, disorganizing stress we need to avoid. Watch out for distress. 

The density of underwater granular fill is impossible to measure by sampling, because undisturbed samples cannot be retrieved. Therefore one has to rely on correlations between the Cone Resistance and the Relative Density (as a function of the effective stress). Researchers have established correlations between Cone Resistance (CPT), effective pressure and Relative Density based on results of Calibration Chamber Tests (section 8.3.5.3) performed on typical reference sands. The advantage of the Cone Penetration Test is that the Relative Density can be assessed over the entire depth of the fill mass.
