  2. Allostatic load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allostatic_load

    Frequent stress: the magnitude and frequency of response to stress is what determines the level of allostatic load which affects the body. Failed shut-down: the inability of the body to shut off while stress accelerates and levels in the body exceed normal levels, for example, elevated blood pressure.

[2] Sub-threshold anxiety traits can be mild, atypical, or masked and therefore present a negative result for tests such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

  4. Limit state design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_state_design

    The limit state criteria can also be set in terms of load rather than stress: using this approach the structural element being analysed (i.e. a beam or a column or other load bearing elements, such as walls) is shown to be safe when the "Magnified" loads are less than the relevant "Reduced" resistances.

  5. Permissible stress design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissible_stress_design

    Permissible stress design is a design philosophy used by mechanical engineers and civil engineers. [1] [2] The civil designer ensures that the stresses developed in a structure due to service loads do not exceed the elastic limit. This limit is usually determined by ensuring that stresses remain within the limits through the use of factors of ...

    Schematic drawing of an elevated plus maze. The elevated plus maze (EPM) is a test measuring anxiety in laboratory animals that usually uses rodents as a screening test for putative anxiolytic or anxiogenic compounds and as a general research tool in neurobiological anxiety research such as PTSD and TBI.

    A limit order will not shift the market the way a market order might. The downsides to limit orders can be relatively modest: You may have to wait and wait for your price.

  8. Psychological stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_stress

    Because stress is perceived, the following mechanisms do not necessarily deal with the actual situation that is causing an individual stress. However, they may be considered coping mechanisms if they allow the individual to cope better with the negative feelings/anxiety that they are experiencing due to the perceived stressful situation, as ...

  9. Stress management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_management

    Running or any other form of exercise would also be considered an acute stressor. Some exciting or exhilarating experiences such as riding a roller coaster is an acute stress but is usually very enjoyable. Acute stress is a short term stress and as a result, does not have enough time to do the damage that long term stress causes. [29]
