The effects of stress, threat/challenge appraisal, and coping flexibility on emotion by Chen, Luxi

“…Coping flexibility equips individuals with the ability to employ effective strategies to deal with environmental changes. Plenty of research has explored the influence of appraisals and coping on psychological well-being, however, the working mechanism regarding how stress determines psychological outcomes through threat/challenge appraisal and coping flexibility, has not been fully understood. …”

Enhanced visualization of fine needles under sonographic guidance using a MEMS actuator by Shen, Zhiyuan, Zhou, Yufeng, Miao, Jianmin, Vu, Kien Fong

“…Because the distance between the mini actuator and the needle tip is fixed, the needle tip can be determined despite its inconsistent appearance in the sonography. Both gel phantom and ex vivo tissue evaluation showed that the needle tip can be determined reliably utilizing the acoustic interference pattern.…”
