Moral Realism – Time To Relax?
This thesis critically assesses ‘relaxed realism’ – a group of views that have entered the metaethical debate recently (Dworkin, 1996; Kramer, 2009; Parfit, 2011; Scanlon, 2014). Relaxed realism promises a novel perspective on our normative practice. In particular, it aims for a view that is …

The effect of a hamstring contract-relax-agonist-contract intervention on sprint and agility performance in moderately active males
… variety of stretching techniques exist, contract-relax-agonist-contract (CRAC) stretching, a type of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching, appears to induce greater flexibility improvements than other forms of stretching. However, the effectiveness of this stretch as a method of …

TO CURL UP OR RELAX? THAT IS THE QUESTION: TENURED BLACK FEMALE FACULTY NAVIGATION OF BLACK HAIR EXPRESSION IN ACADEMIA
One area of identity that challenges dominant ideals of professional, neat, or appropriate appearance is Black hair. Although Black hair expression is frequent in media, politics, and pop culture, there still remains a perceived stigma surrounding its presence in positions and environments (e.g. …

Studies on the mechanism of action of the bioflavonoid Hesperidin methyl chalcone in causing vascular and intestinal smooth muscle to relax
… chalcone (HMC), in causing smooth muscle to relax. The term bioflavonoid refers to several compounds that can be extracted from the mesocarp of citrus fruits. They have been the subject of investigation and controversy since 1936. Much of this is covered in a eview by Vogin (1). As mentioned …

The Logo “Visual Thickness Effect”: When and Why It Boosts Brand Evaluation. Does It Relax the Logo Visual Asymmetry Side-effect?
Logos are one of the first elements of brands with which new consumers interact. Thus, the symbolic meanings that a logo implies by its visual characteristics, e.g., circularity vs angularity, symmetry vs asymmetry, etc., can form consumers’ early perception of personality of the associated brand. …

An application of residual relaxation to mathematical simulation of petroleum reservoirs
… has been shown analytically that this residual relaxation method is stable, convergent, and consistent.</p> <p>A three-phase areal model was developed to simulate a hypothetical homogeneous petroleum reservoir, and various computational methods were tested with this model. The residual …

Relaxation behavior of dense suspensions
… But, little is known about how dense suspensions relax out of this stressed rheological state. To understand the relaxation behavior of a cornstarch/water dense suspension, samples are prepared at different fm, in the range that shows dramatic shear thickening, between 54.5% and 58.5% cornstarch. …

Locus of Control Differences in the Acquisition of Electromyographic Biofeedback Training and in Self-Reported Relaxation Under True and False Feedback Conditions.
… (Rotter, 1966) and the ability to learn to relax via Electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback training. The main purpose was to explore the notion, reviewed by Lefcourt (1972), that certain cognitive properties are associated with locus of control. The proposal was that these cognitive properties …

Eliciting and Aggregating Information for Better Decision Making
… we consider shared resource allocation, where we relax two common assumptions in the fair divison literature. Firstly, we relax the assumption that goods are private, meaning that they must be allocated to only a single agent, and introduce a more general public decision making model. This allows …
