Effects of the Deep Meditative Relaxation Technique (DMRT) On Nocturnal Self-Awakening Sleep/Wake Quality Among University Students
… investigates effects of the Deep Meditative Relaxation Technique (DMRT)on self-awakening sleep/wake quality among university students. DMRT is apsycho-physiological, self-control intervention that operates on the theory that ifpsycho-physiological mind/body systems are unified to produce a …

A qualitative exploration of the experience of a single mindfulness session with informal caregivers
… were: 1) comparison of mindfulness to other relaxation methods: 2) initial impression on mindfulness; 3) mindfulness as a relaxation technique; 4) mindfulness as a support for sleep hygiene: 5) mindfulness as an anxiety reduction method and; 6) future integration of mindfulness into daily …

Stress effects on atomistic kinetic transitions
… a priori, primarily from the kinetic activation relaxation technique. The preliminary work was verified by a commonly studied and well understood vacancy generation and migration to an adjacent lattice cite in FCC copper and HCP titanium. The method was then applied to transitions of increasing …

Investigation of Thermocapillary Flows Around Hemispherical Bubbles
… The elliptic stream-function was determined by a relaxation technique. The numerical diffusion effects were also investigated. No significant heat transfer improvement was evident, even for Marangoni number as high as 200,000. The mass transfer process at the bubble interface reduces significantly …

Efficient direct-method parallel circuit simulation using multilevel node tearing
The direct-method circuit simulation technique solves the entire system at every iteration and thus avoids the problem of slow convergence or even nonconvergence, which could occur when relaxation-based techniques are applied. However, the parallelism of the direct method is not as obvious as that …

Localization for teams of autonomous ground vehicles
… using an experimental extension of a mesh relaxation technique for position estimate, was tested but found not to track the position of the robot well. Discussion of implementation experience and recommendations for future work are provided.

GPU-based Lagrangian heuristic for multidimensional assignment problems with decomposable costs
… are sought. In this work, we used Lagrangian relaxation technique to solve the MAPs with decomposable costs. But the major contribution was an efficient parallelization of this algorithm on a graphics processing unit (GPU) based programming architecture. Bigger problems with larger data sets …

The effect of relaxation and preparatory information on postoperative pain in sensitizers and avoiders
The effectiveness of preoperative relaxation training and preparatory information, separately and in combination, on postoperative pain was examined with respect to surgical patients' coping style (avoidance-sensitization). Subjects were 64 patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy or …

Anxiety and it's management during awake procedures in operating theatres. A survey and randomised controlled trial.
… and an anxiety management package involving a relaxation technique and a procedural information leaflet, against a ¿usual care¿ control. The findings from stage one of the study suggest that peri-operative anxiety prevalence is low, although unacceptable levels of anxiety are seen to elevate …

Evaluation of the stress ralaxation technique for measuring softening kinetics in aluminium alloys
… study has investigated the use of the stress relaxation technique to provide rapid data on the recovery and recrystallisation kinetics for commercial purity aluminium under defonnation conditions that closely simulate hot rolling operations. Stress relaxation (SR) curves have been generated …

Graphene-assisted spontaneous relaxation and direct CVD growth of graphene on III-V substrate
… substrates allows for spontaneous relaxation of misfit strain owing to the slippery graphene surface while achieving single-crystalline films by reading the atomic potential from the substrate. This spontaneous relaxation technique could transform the monolithic integration of …

Graphical models and message-passing algorithms for network-constrained decision problems
… become amenable to an established team-theoretic relaxation technique by which a new class of efficient message-passing algorithms can be derived. From the academic perspective, this thesis marks the intersection of two lines of active research, namely approximate inference methods for graphical …

Statistical limits of graphical channel models and a semidefinite programming approach
… based on a standard semidefinite relaxation technique. We show that in these two models, the algorithm based on this strategy achieves exact recovery up to a threshold which orderwise matches the statistical threshold. We complement this by showing the limitation of the algorithm.

Effects of slow stroking on three hyperactive behaviors in a six-year-old male
… study examined the effects of the slow stroking technique used by many occupational therapists on three defined hyperactive behaviors in a 6-year-old multi-handicapped male. A single case reversal design was used with two observers counting the behaviors of seat rocking, ex trancous sounds, and …

Autogenic Training (AT) for reducing anxiety and promoting psychological well-being
… the effectiveness of Autogenic Training (AT), a relaxation technique, as a preventive measure against anxiety and as a technique to promote psychological well-being among students from the University of Zululand. Previous studies have shown that anxiety was prevalent among students on this …

Development of a novel cell traction force transducer based on cholesteryl ester liquid crystals. Characterisation, quantification and evaluation of a cholesteryl ester liquid crystal based single cell force transducer system.
… by soft substrates based on polymers but these techniques are limited either by spatial resolution or ability to detect localised cell traction forces (CTF) due to their non-linear viscous behaviour under shear rates. A newly developed cell traction force transducer system based on cholesteryl …

Schema-aware keyword search on linked data
Keyword search is a popular technique for querying the ever growing repositories of RDF graph data on the Web. This is due to the fact that the users do not need to master complex query languages (e.g., SQL, SPARQL) and they do not need to know the underlying structure of the data on the Web to …
