ObjectiveThis study examined a novel method to differentiate between mental and physical stress using Baevsky's Enhanced Stress Technique.BackgroundOccupational stress events, whether mental or physical, are handled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which have been shown to be associated with heart rate variability (HRV), but have not been previously differentiated.MethodNaturalistic HRV and accelerometer data were measured continuously using wrist-worn sensors during a...

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) is a nutritious crop expanding in importance worldwide, though its capacity to accumulate high concentrations of cadmium (Cd) can put consumers at risk. Quinoa cultivars vary in Cd uptake providing an opportunity to solve this challenge through breeding. Determining how domestication and selection in distinct ecoregions has altered the capacity for quinoa plants to respond to Cd stress and mediate uptake will provide important insights towards achieving this goal. In...
