Computer Breakdown as a Stress Factor during Task Completion under Time Pressure: Identifying Gender Differences Based on Skin Conductance by René Riedl, Harald Kindermann, Andreas Auinger, Andrija Javor

“…Based on theories which explain that men, in contrast to women, are more sensitive to “achievement stress,” we predicted that male users would exhibit higher levels of stress than women in cases of system breakdown during the execution of a human-computer interaction task under time pressure, if compared to a breakdown situation without time pressure. …”

TECHNICAL CONDITION EVALUATION OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OF A TURBO-REFRIGERATION UNIT PARTS OF AN AIRCRAFT AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM BY CHANGING THE LEVEL OF RESIDUAL STRESSES by D. B. Matveev, I. G. Roberov, M. A. Kiselev, A. V. Kotelkin

“…In view of this, the development of new technologies that will provide information on the actual technical condition of the structure of each aircraft during its operation considering residual stresses is a critical task. The article describes a possible approach to evaluating and predicting the technical condition of the structural materials of assemblies and units operating under cyclic loading based on determining the change of residual stresses level on the surface of the parts during their operation. …”

Laboratory Investigation on the Stress-Dependent Anisotropic Shear Wave Velocity (Vs) and Coefficient of Lateral Earth Pressure at Rest (K0) of Granular Materials by Guangbo Du, Nina Liu, Zhao Xia, Xin Kang

“…The laboratory investigations suggested (1) the K0 showed a constant value during loading, while it increased as the OCR increased during unloading, (2) soils with smaller particle sizes, rough surfaces, and angular geometry tended to have a lower value of K0, and vice versa, (3) both the anisotropic stress state and the anisotropic fabric (geometry) could lead to the Vs anisotropy, but the Vs anisotropy was manifested due to the horizontal stress-lock during unloading stage, and (4) the published correlation between Vs and K0 was modified by introducing the influence of the OCR, which could effectively reduce the variation and improve the prediction accuracy. …”
