Eazytrack: Exploring Next-Gen Technology And User Experience Design To Help Relieve Stress, Kaiyi Dong
Theses
In this competitive society with the pace of people’s life speeding up, stress is inevitable. Too much stress though will bring negative effects on people’s physical and emotional wellbeing. According to a survey the American Psychological Association conducted from 2007 to 2016, very few actions are being taken to prevent or relieve stress effectively even though an increasing number of people have realized that stress has an impact on health and wellbeing.¹ Untreated chronic stress can contribute to severe health problems including anxiety, insomnia, muscle pain, high blood pressure, and a weakened immune system.² Today, there are many stress trackers …
An Analysis Of Stresses And Displacements Around A Fault Plane Due To Longwall Face Advance In Coal Mining, Corbin Grant Carlton
An Analysis Of Stresses And Displacements Around A Fault Plane Due To Longwall Face Advance In Coal Mining, Corbin Grant Carlton
Theses
This study has examined 3D stresses and displacements around a longwall mining system that is intercepted by a geological fault. More specifically, the study has analyzed the effect of a fault on longwall gate development entries, set-up rooms, T-junctions, and the longwall face as the longwall face progressed toward, through, and away from the fault. A general lithologic sequence and mining parameters related to the Herrin No. 6 coal seam in southern Illinois were employed. FLAC3D structural analysis code was used for simulating two (2) adjacent longwall faces. Linear elastic rock mass elements with non-linear elastic-plastic fault elements were analyzed …
The Impact Of Humor On Stress Responses During A Listening Span Task, Cynthia L. Stanley
The Impact Of Humor On Stress Responses During A Listening Span Task, Cynthia L. Stanley
Theses
The current experiment examined how humor influences the effects of stress induced by mental workload. Participants completed a Modified Listening Span task (MLS) that was chosen to induce mental workload and measure working memory capacity. Participants also viewed a series of neutral and positive images, one of three videos, completed a workload measure before and after the MLS, and pulse wave amplitude readings were collected throughout the experiment. Participants reported higher workload ratings following completion of the MLS, demonstrating an increased mental workload. Subjective stress ratings and PWA readings were higher following the completion of the MLS, illustrating an increase …
