Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFinite Element Study of the Stress Response of Bi-Directional Corrugated-Strip Core Sandwich BeamSuphattharachai Chomphan, Manit LeekitwattanaProblem statement: In engineering design, stress affects the size of structural member. A suitable topology of structure should be designed to optimize the stress. Approach: This study presents an alternative topology of truss-like core sandwich beam referred to here as bi-directional corrugated-strip core topology. A finite element method is used to study the stress response of three point loaded truss-like … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 23 Jul 2011 · 7,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStress Prediction in the Dynamic Compression Plate with Changing the Configuration of the Screw FixationBoonthum WongchaiProblem statement: Human femur fracture is one of the most frequent type of bone fractures. One of the widely used methods in an internal fixation is an application of the Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP). The configuration of the screw fixation plays a major role of the DCP stress. Approach: This research is proposed to investigate the stress distribution in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 4 Apr 2011 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Hevea brasiliensis (Latex Timber Clone: RRIM 2001 and RRIM 3001) in Relation to Different Water StressShafar Jefri Mokhatar, Wan Noordin Daud, Nursyazwina Md ZamriAbstract: Problem statement: Rubber, Hevea brasiliensis, has been traditionally planted in the humid tropics, which is characterized by high rainfall throughout the year. However, due to an increase in world’s demand for rubber, future planting will be established in dry areas, characterized by prevalence water stress. Utilizing limited resource, in dry areas or to use water wisely is very important. … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 10,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOccupational Stress and Family Difficulties of Working WomenMaryam Zarra-Nezhad, Ali Moazami-Goodarzi, Leila Hasannejad, Khadijeh RoushaniProblem statement: Work and family are the two most important aspects in women’s lives. Balancing work and family roles has become a key personal and family issue for many societies. There are many facets in working mother’s lives that subject to stresses. They deal with home and family issues as well as job stress on a daily basis. Imbalance between … …Current Research in Psychology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 16,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSome Effects of Abiotic Stress on Infection of Dyer’s Woad (Isatis tinctoria L.) by Puccinia thlaspeos C. Schub.: Implications for Biological ControlElizabeth Thomas, Bradley Ray KroppProblem statement: The rust pathogen, Puccinia thlaspeos, is being studied as a potential biocontrol agent for the noxious weed dyer’s woad. Although its disease etiology is well understood, very little has been learned about the effect of environmental stresses on infection. Approach: Dyer’s woad plants were exposed to different levels of oxidative stress, salinity stress, osmotic stress, dehydration, and cold … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,719 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStress-Strain Analysis of Abdominal Aortic Wall: A Case of 3D Geometry SimulationP. Khamdaengyodtai, P. Sakulchangsatjatai, P. TerdtoonProblem statement: This study analyzed stress-strain of abdominal aortic wall in 3D geometry simulation. Abdominal aorta is a portion of the aorta vessel in the abdomen which many cardiovascular diseases often occur. Approach: Abdominal aortic wall was considered as 1 layers-3 dimensional cylindrical geometry and homogeneous, incompressible and anisotropic material. Deformation of aortic wall was elastic deformation. Numerical method was … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,410 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerceived Workplace Culture as an Antecedent of Job Stress: The Mediating Role of Work-Family ConflictAminah Ahmad, Zoharah OmarProblem statement: Few studies have tested the mediating effect of work-family conflict on the relationship between workplace culture and job stress. Approach: This study tested a mediation model consisting of job stress as the dependent variable, perceived family-supportive work culture as the independent variable and work-family conflict as the mediator. Data were gathered from 693 employees from private service organizations … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,157 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWall Shear Stress Distribution in Patient Specific Coronary Artery BifurcationVahab Dehlaghi, Frank GijsenProblem statement: Atherogenesis is affected by hemodynamic parameters, such as wall shear stress and wall shear stress spatial gradient. These parameters are largely dependent on the geometry of arterial tree. Arterial bifurcations contain significant flow disturbances. Approach: The effects of branch angle and vessel diameter ratio at the bifurcations on the wall shear stress distribution in the coronary arterial tree … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Garcinia Atroviridis on Oxidative Stress and Atherosclerotic Changes in Experimental Guinea PigsAdel. A. Amran, Zaiton Zakaria, Faizah Othman, Paden MoratProblem statement: Oxidative stress plays a major role in hypercholesterolemia induced atherosclerosis. Garcinia atroviridis has been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties. Approach: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Garcinia atroviridis on the oxidative stress in guinea pigs fed with high cholesterol diet. Twenty-four male Guinea pigs were divided into four groups. Group I served as control while … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Potassium Levels on Antioxidant Enzymes and Malondialdehyde Content under Drought Stress in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)H. Soleimanzadeh, D. Habibi, M.R. Ardakani et al.Problem Statement: Drought stress as a major adverse factor can lower leaf water potential, leading to reduced turgor and some other responses and ultimately lower crop productivity in arid and semi arid zones. Sunflower is one of the main oil seed crops in Iran, where drought stress is the most limiting factor. Drought stress tolerance requires the activation of complex … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 10,785 accessesView PDFCite
