Stoudemire's potential stressors, from back injuries and the Knicks roller-coaster season to the news media crush surrounding Mike D'Antoni's firing and Linsanity, are easy to list.
The litany of potential stressors – noise, lights, "chemicals" — in the intro sounds like a shopping list from someone looking to find a relationship, another caution flag about the researcher's intent, ergo, the credibility of the product.
When I mention all the potential stressors that may exist in these communities during the drilling process, it is meant to acknowledge that we do not have enough science to help identify the mechanisms that may explain any changes that I find.
Furthermore, none of the potential stressors associated with the experimental design influenced the daphnids' performance.
In this context, it has been questioned whether species of conservation concern are more vulnerable to potential stressors such as GMOs than other species [58].
Environmental changes and disturbance factors caused by wind turbines may act as potential stressors for natural populations of both flying and ground dwelling animal species.
In other regulatory tools, such as the Water Framework Directive (WFD) [17], the Marine Strategy Framework Directive [18], and the forthcoming Soil Directive, the approach is more holistic, considering many potential stressors capable of affecting ecosystems and the assessment endpoints.
A recent EFSA Scientific Opinion elaborates extensively on the issue of species selection that should take into account the "ecological relevance of the species, susceptibility to known or potential stressors, anthropocentric value, testability, exposure pathways" of non-target organisms [29].
As physiological parameters do not necessarily help explain field distributions of lichens in metalliferous habitats (Bačkor et al., 2010), a challenge, at least in terms of understanding potential stressors, is to devise practical field experiments minimising other environmental influences.
Solid organ transplant donors and recipients typically present with a variety of potential stressors at both pre- and posttransplant, which may lead to symptoms such as psychological distress and depression.
We used a 6-part questionnaire focusing on demographics, potential stressors, satisfaction with personal and professional life, self-efficacy, burnout as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), and support from the spouse/partner and family.
