Background/Objectives: For the rapid, objective characterization of the physiological stress response, there is currently no generally recognized standard. The stress measurement methods used in practice (e.g., for psychological measures of stress) are often subjective, or in the case of biological markers (e.g., cortisol, amylase), they usually re...

The paper solves the problem of constructing step adjustment algorithms for a gradient method based on the principle of the steepest descent. The expansion of the step adjustment principle, its formalization and parameterization led the researchers to gradient-type methods with incomplete relaxation or over-relaxation. Such methods require only the...

Introduction This study aimed to investigate the psychological and physiological impacts of audio-visual (AV) and audio-visual-olfactory (AVO) stimuli within an immersive virtual nature environment. Methods Twenty-two nurses from the mental health in-patient ward of a Canadian hospital participated in the study. Each participant chose one of the th...

Cerclage is an orthopedic surgical fixation technique using a cable wrapped, tensioned, and secured around a bone’s circumference. It is important to minimize the loss in cable tension that often occurs due to stress relaxation. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of tensioning protocols on the long-term loss of tension due to stress r...

This article presents the development of a serious game designed to help individuals improve their ability to relax and self-regulate, with a particular focus on children. Additionally, the game has the potential to become an effective tool for intervention in individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) due to its integration o...

Background/Objectives: Insomnia is a frequent and distressing symptom with limited treatment in patients with cancer. Among the available treatments for insomnia, psychological interventions are some of the most assessed. While studies and reviews show promise of interventions improving insomnia in patients with cancer, inconsistent approaches to o...

A full set of vibrationally-resolved cross sections for electron impact excitation of NO(X2Π, v) molecules is calculated from ab initio molecular dynamics, in the framework of the local-complex-potential approach. Electron–vibration energy exchanges in non-equilibrium thermodynamic conditions are studied from a state-to-state model accounting for a...

Spring–dashpot models have long been used to simulate the mechanical behavior of polymers, but their usefulness is limited because multiple model parameter values can reproduce the experimental data. In view of this limitation, this study explores the possibility of improving uniqueness of parameter values so that the parameters can be used to esta...

This study aimed to examine the effect of nonsleep deep rest (NSDR) on physical and cognitive performance, as well as sleepiness, acute readiness, recovery, stress, and mood state in physically active participants. A total of 65 physically active participants (42 male, 23 female) were randomly assigned into two groups: an experimental group (NSDR, ...

We derive a convex relaxation principle for a large class of non convex variational problems where the functional to be minimized involves a one homogeneous gradient energy. This applies directly to free boundary or multiphase problems in the case of the classical total variation or of some anisotropic variants. The underlying argument is an exclus...
