The association between resilience and fatigue among mariners during ocean voyages: a chain mediating effect of coping style and psychological stress by Zhanying Sun, Nan Tang, Xueyang Gan, Jingru Chen, Qingqing Su, Jie Song, Yuan Gao

“…Results Daily working hours, negative coping style and psychological stress were positively correlated with fatigue, while resilience was negatively related to fatigue (all P < 0.01). The structural equation indicated that the 4 paths of “resilience → fatigue”, “resilience → psychological stress → fatigue”, “resilience → positive coping → psychological stress → fatigue” and “resilience → negative coping → psychological stress → fatigue” occupied 68.72%, 11.45%, 9.99% and 9.84% of the total effect, respectively (all P < 0.05), suggesting the validity of hypothesis. …”

Modeling the Relationship of Concrete Strength with Aggregate Size Using Quarry Dust as Fine Aggregates for Rigid Pavements. by Ahebwa, Chrispus

“…At high concrete grades, there is a reduction in the water-cement ratio in order to increase concrete strength (from ACI 211.1). A regression analysis also shows that the relationship between the maximum coarse aggregate size and the compressive strength follows a linear equation with R2 = 0.990308; indicating that the model is reliable. …”
