Introduction Stress tests, in the commercial banking literature, refer to assessing the impact of a rare but plausible shock to the financial system. Stress testing is a simulation technique, which are used to determine the reactions of different financial institutions under a set of exceptional, but plausible assumptions through a series of battery of tests. At institutional level, stress testing techniques provide a way to quantify the impact of changes in a number of risk factors on the assets

motivation in workers. Companies must also be adaptable to the change and prepare to continually change to maintain success. With the strive to increase productivity, drive down cost, and stay current on new technologies, leadership, and workers alike find stress slowing them down. Organizations are promoting healthy mental exercises and practices to maintain happy employees as well as high motivation and production.

relationship between the workplace and stress Many people believe work affects their health. Defining what is stressful in the workplace is not easy, because individuals react quite differently to the same situation. However, some common factors have been found in many workers that cause them stress and in some cases lead to illness. These include the level of control they have (low control = stress), the amount of workload they have (high workload = stress) and role conflict (getting the work

Stress: Afraid to Fly Pilots have trouble understanding why so many people are afraid to fly. They think that if a person just understands how safe it is, they will be fine on a plane. It is not that simple. After all, elevators, bridges and tunnels are safe, and yet, those situations can cause anxiety or even panic. Why? The most basic way we regulate emotion is by approaching what appeals to us and distancing from what frightens us. When boarding a plane, that basic system is lost. We need to

the analysis of plane stress. Since their walls offer litter resistance to bending, it may be assumed that the internal forces exerted on a given portion of wall are tangent to the surface of the vessel. The resulting stresses on an element of the wall will thus be contained in a plane tangent to the surface of the vessel. In this experiment, we are going to determine the circumferential stress under open condition, and analysis of combined axial and circumferential stress. We propose to determine

a torque or twisting moment T equivalent to F × d, which is applied perpendicular to the axis of the bar, as shown in the figure. Such a bar is said to be in torsion. TORSIONAL SHEARING STRESS, τ For a solid or hollow circular shaft subject to a twisting moment T, the torsional shearing stress τ at a distance ρ from the center of the shaft is and where J is the polar moment of inertia of the section and r is the outer radius. For solid cylindrical shaft: For hollow

Stress by definition is; any circumstance that places special physical and/or psychological demands on a person such that an unusual or out-of-the-ordinary response occurs. No one is immune to job related stress, making its existence a serious problem for employers and employees alike. Stressful jobs span an organization’s ladder from the bottom rung to the very top. Since starting with UPS, I have seen many symptoms of work related stress. The symptoms can range from a silent but all telling
