The American Red Cross is the largest nongovernmental organization responding to disasters in the United States. This study investigated the impact of negative life change occurring in the year following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on levels of distress among 757 Red Cross Disaster Services Human Resources (national disaster team) employees and volunteers who responded to this disaster. Negative life change in the year following disaster response fully mediated the relationship between disaster response and symptoms of depression and partially mediated the responses between disaster response and posttraumatic stress and anxiety symptoms. Results highlight the importance of life experiences in the year following disaster response and, therefore, the education and follow-up services provided to disaster workers prior to and following disaster assignment. Suggestions for monitoring disaster-related stress during and following assignment are provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

The crucifers contain glucosinolates which through enzymatic hydrolysis give rise to toxicants that limit the use of oil-free
meal obtainable from this plant family. Seeds from three crucifers were used to test gamma irradiation to inactivate enzyme
systems as a step toward detoxification. Seeds ofCrambe abyssinica Hochst (crambe), ground seeds ofSinapis alba L. (mustard), and seeds ofBrassica napus L. (rape) were subjected to gamma-irradiation (6.25, 12.5, 25.0 and 50.4 Mrad) to inactivate thioglucosidase and/or destroy
glucosinolates. Samples of ground seeds, their oil-free meals, previously irradiated ground seeds and their oil-free meals
were assayed for glucose, a product of enzymatic hydrolysis of glucosinolates present in the crucifer seeds. The 50.4 Mrad
exposure inactivated thioglucosidase but did not destroy glucosinolates. The fatty acid contents of extracted oils were affected.
The amino acid profile of defatted crambe protein meal was affected, while that of white mustard was not.

Filtered white noise is the training signal typically used to test the performance of echo cancellers. However, a system optimized for operation with such training signals may perform poorly when trained instead with voiced speech. This performance difference is a consequence of the quasi-periodic nature of voiced speech. In this paper, we explore the effects of quasi-periodic training signals on echo-canceller performance. In particular, we show that unlike filtered white noise, quasi-periodic training signals can actually limit the asymptotic echo-return loss of echo cancellers. In addition, we examine the ability of several existing techniques to improve performance when quasi-periodic signals are used to train echo cancellers. 相似文献

Geopolymers, as a potentially environmentally friendly alternative to Portland cement, are increasingly attracting attention in the construction industry. Various methods have been applied for customizing the properties of geopolymers and improving their commercial viability. One of the promising methods for refining the properties of geopolymers such as their toughness is the use of short fibers. The effectiveness of a high-strength short fiber in the geopolymer matrix is largely dependent on the interfacial bonding between the fiber and its surrounding matrix. While the importance of this interfacial chemistry is highlighted in the literature, the characteristics of this bonding structure have not been fully understood. In this paper, we aim to investigate the bonding mechanism between the carbon fiber and metakaolin-based geopolymer matrix. For the first time, the existence and nature of the chemical bonding at the interfacial region (interphase) between carbon fiber and geopolymer matrix has been revealed. X-ray pair distribution function computed tomography (PDF-CT), field emission-scanning electron microscopy imaging, and nanoindentation techniques are employed to discern the chemo-mechanical properties of the interphase. PDF-CT results show the emergence of a new atom–atom correlation at the interfacial region (around 1.82 Å). This correlation is a characteristic of interfacial bonding between the fiber and its surrounding matrix, where the existence of chemical linkages (potentially VAl-O-C) between fibers and the matrix contributes to the adhesion between the two constituents making up the composite. Due to such chemical bonding, the nanomechanical properties of the interfacial region fall between that of the carbon fiber and geopolymer. The combination of advanced techniques is proved useful for enhancing our understanding of the interfacial chemistry between fibers and the binding matrix. This level of knowledge facilitates the engineering of composite systems through the manipulation of their nanostructure. 相似文献

This paper provides an overview of optical imaging methods commonly applied to basic research applications. Optical imaging is well suited for non-clinical use, since it can exploit an enormous range of endogenous and exogenous forms of contrast that provide information about the structure and function of tissues ranging from single cells to entire organisms. An additional benefit of optical imaging that is often under-exploited is its ability to acquire data at high speeds; a feature that enables it to not only observe static distributions of contrast, but to probe and characterize dynamic events related to physiology, disease progression and acute interventions in real time. The benefits and limitations of in vivo optical imaging for biomedical research applications are described, followed by a perspective on future applications of optical imaging for basic research centred on a recently introduced real-time imaging technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced small animal molecular imaging (DyCE). 相似文献
