Context dependent memory for relaxing conditions
… (CDM), few studies have investigated CDM and relaxing environments. A recent British study by Cassaday, Bloomfield, and Hayward (2002) examined context dependent memory, relaxing conditions, and college student performance. The current study is a replication of the Cassaday, Bloomfield, and …

Relaxing assumptions in deep probabilistic modelling
The current generation of deep neural network-based models demonstrate tremendous capacity to learn distributions at scale. Given this success, deep learning and deep generative modelling have progressively been applied across a broader range of increasingly demanding applications, as well as in …

Relaxing Topological Barriers in Geometry Processing
Geometric optimization problems are full of topological barriers that hinder optimization, leading to nonconvexity, initialization-dependence, and local minima. This thesis explores convex relaxation as a powerful guide and tool for reframing such problems. We bring the tools of semidefinite …

Relaxing Music Effects on Implicit Racial Bias and Neural Activity
… of this ERP study was to investigate whether relaxing music could reduce implicit racial bias, specifically examining P3 brain wave amplitude differences in individuals when looking at White and Black faces. Results showed significantly larger P3 responses when looking at Black faces, compared …

Pressure and velocity fields in a relaxing three-dimensional turbulent boundary layer
… and mean velocity data were obtained in a relaxing shear driven three-dimensional incompressible turbulent boundary layer flow produced by a swept rectangular step. The nominally 10 cm (4 in.) thick boundary layer had a freestream velocity of approximately 25 m/sec (80 ft/sec). The two …

Fundamental properties of Afro-American hair as related to their straightening relaxing behaviour
… after various treatments such as perming and relaxing, and combination of these treatments. Amino acid analysis of treated hair leads to the conclusion that dehydroalanine residues, which are generated upon alkaline relaxing of hair, are quite stable. They are converted with cysteine residues …

Feasibility Analysis and Fuel Burn Benefits of Relaxing Constraints in High Altitude Cruise
… in the airspace can be mitigated by relaxing vertical constraints. The feasibility of vertical flexibility is evaluated by quantifying the rate of close encounters and the frequency of alerts that would be needed to prevent them. Substantial diurnal variability in the number of close …

Detente or Razryadka? The Kissinger-Dobrynin Telephone Transcripts and Relaxing American-Soviet Tensions, 1969-1977.
<p>This dissertation argues that through a secret backchannel, US National Security Adviser and later Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Soviet Ambassador to the US Anatoly Dobrynin formed a relationship which provided the empathy needed to bridge many of the ideological differences between …

Sex differences in mesenteric endothelial function of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: The role of endothelium-derived relaxing factors
… relative contributions of endothelium-derived relaxing factors (EDRFs) in modulating vascular reactivity of mesenteric arteries taken from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats at early and intermediate stages of the disease (one and eight weeks, respectively). We also investigated the …

Characterization of the airway epithelial bioelectric mechanisms associated with the effects of epithelium-derived relaxing factor in guinea pig-isolated trachea
… oxide, non-prostanoid, epithelium-derived relaxing factor (EpDRF), which subsequently diffuses to the underlying airway smooth muscle to initiate relaxation. Hypertonicity-induced smooth muscle relaxation via EpDRF involves epithelial Na+ and Cl- channels and is preceded by a depolarization …

Galvanic skin response variations of neurotics low/high on extraversion to music
… the effects of two types of music (exciting vs relaxing) on the GSR responses of male and female neurotics low/high on extraversion. Eysenck's and Gray's views on the basic structure of personality dimensions were also tested to enlighten their components in relation to the influence of music as …

Shear modulus relaxation of bulk metallic glass, Pd₄₀Ni₄₀P₂₀, near the glass temperature
The non-exponential and non-linear behavior of relaxing glasses below the glass temperature, Tg, is a well known and poorly understood phenomena that is the subject of much experimental and theoretical effort. The Interstitialcy Theory, which describes glasses as perfect crystals with a few percent …

Mathematical programming approach to cell formation problems in flexible manufacturing systems.
… quality of bounds obtained. In Models 1 and 2, relaxing the machine group size constraint (Relaxation 2) is found to perform better than relaxing the machine availability constraint. Both the relaxations are relatively insensitive to the initial estimate of the objective function, if …

Size Function Based Mesh Relaxation
<p>This thesis addresses the problem of relaxing a finite element mesh to more closely match a size function. The main contributions include new methods for performing size function based mesh relaxation, as well as an algorithm for measuring the performance of size function based mesh relaxation …
