Psychophysiological assessment of poststress recovery.

Abstract

This study addresses psychophysiological assessment of poststress recovery and presents a definition of poststress recovery and methods of measurement. Recent studies that have included psychophysiological assessment of poststress recovery are reviewed as well as the psychological and physiological mechanisms underlying poststress recovery. The importance of "chronicity" of stressor effects is emphasized. The final section addresses the clinical utility of this measure. The main thesis of this article is that poststress recovery reflects clinically important psychological and physiological mechanisms. This measure can be used to identify persons at risk for behavioral and biological disorders and assist in the design and evaluation of intervention programs.This document is copyrighted by the American Psychological Association or one of its allied publishers.This article is intended solely for the personal use of the individual user and is not to be disseminated broadly.

A 4.8 and 8.6 GHz Survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud. I. The Images

“…The ATCA image alone has an integrated value of 32.4 Jy, or about 11% of the total. This number is consistent with the conclusion of Haynes et al (1991) that about 40% of the emission from the LMC comes from discrete sources because several of the large H ii region complexes, in particular 30 Dor and N11 in the northeast, cover areas of about 0N5, much larger than the response size of the Compact Array. At 8.6 GHz, the Parkes value is 321.4 Jy and the merged image gives 325.7 Jy, acceptably close.…”

“…As shown by Haynes et al (1991), the LMC presents a complex field full of extended emission. Any interferometric observation aimed at studying the extended sources in the LMC will thus benefit from a database of complete short-spacing u-v coverage.…”

“…As noted by Haynes et al (1991), even the Parkes data had to be smoothed to show detectable extended polarized structure. The polarization data from Parkes are included in the images at 4.8 GHz but have little effect.…”

“…The closest spacing between individual ATCA antennas of 30 m cuts off those shortest available interferometer spacings. To include this information, we have utilized observations from the Parkes 64 m telescope at 4.75 and 8.55 GHz by Haynes et al (1991). Both total-intensity and polarization images were merged at 4.8 GHz but only the total intensity at 8.6 GHz because of the lack of sufficient polarized intensity to produce Parkes images at that frequency.…”
