PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) is a psychological disorder that is caused by a person being exposed to a specific traumatic event. A symptom of PTSD is vivid flashbacks to the event that caused the traumatic stress. For example‚ soldiers that have gone to war in Afghanistan and come back with PTSD have been recorded having vivid nightmares that have to do with the stressful event. They can even wake up from these nightmares and attack their wives or girlfriends‚ believing briefly that they

Our service men and woman are returning home from serving their country damaged for life by a silent disease. These men and women have been trained to fight opponents they can see. They are trained to survive in situations in which others would falter. Why are our service men and women returning to their homes and country damaged and scarred for life in ways that are not always visible to the eye? How does their condition affect their everyday lives and the lives of their families? Understanding

expect these events to happen so we often do not know how to react when it does happen‚ this can lead to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In this assignment is the definition of PTSD‚ the reason why South Africa has such a high prevalence of PTSD and also the methods of prevention of PTSD will be discussed. DEFINITION OF POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be defined as a response people have to traumatic events in life and can arise as an immediate‚ delayed

Our country has been affected by many wars throughout history. Also our service members have had some issue once they return form combat. Not until recently have we put a name to it‚ which is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. PTSD has had huge effect on the public and is a key factor with the alarming rate of ex-military personnel that are

M 531 The Civil Engineering Center Objectives: To measure the mechanical stre ngth of cement by applying Compressive and Tensile tests on Cement-Sand mortar. Standards: ¾ Compressive strength of cement using mortar cubes: B.S.12 – Part 2 ASTM : C 109 ¾ Tensile strength of mortar using briquettes: B.S.12 – Part 2 ASTM : C 109 General Discussion: In these tests (Compressive and Tensile tests) we measured the mechanical strength of the hardened cement. These tests are done on cement

Abstract: Conventionally cold drawn welded tubes are stress relieved in a roller hearth furnace. In this study‚ induction stress relieving is compared with the conventional method for plain carbon steels. Technical comparison between the two methods is conducted by mechanical properties measurement and residual stress analysis by X-ray diffraction method. Introduction: Residual stress is a macroscopic stress that is set up within a metal during non-uniform plastic deformation‚ as in cold

INTRODUCTION Geopolymer paste is created by combining fly ash‚ which contains alumino-silicate source‚ with a strong alkaline solution. Geopolymer concrete has significant advantages over standard concretes such as resistance to corrosion and fire‚ high compressive and tensile strengths and also less shrinkage. The development of geopolymer concrete is an important step towards the production of environmental friendly concretes. The purpose is apparently to reduce the carbon dioxide emission resulting from
