Relaxed blue ellipticals: accretion-driven stellar growth is a key evolutionary channel for low mass elliptical galaxies
(2023-04-30)How elliptical galaxies form is a key question in observational cosmology. While the formation of massive ellipticals is strongly linked to mergers, the low mass (M⋆/M⊙ < 10^9.5 regime remains less well explored. In ... -
Relay bioavailability and toxicity of isometamidium residues : a model for human risk assessment
(1989)The bioavailability and potential toxicity of the residues of the antitrypanosomal drug isometamidium (ISMM) in bovine tissues were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. They were allowed to feed for 7 and 21 days on ... -
Relay-proof channels using UWB lasers
(Springer Nature, 2014)Alice is a hand-held device. Bob is a device providing a service, such as an ATM, an automatic door, or an anti-aircraft gun pointing at the gyro-copter in which Alice is travelling. Bob and Alice have never met, but share ... -
The relevance of Nash equilibrium to psychiatric disorders
(2011)In game theory, the word 'game' is used to describe any interdependence between interacting parties, and the Nash equilibrium is a prominent tool for analysing such interactions. I argue that the concept of the Nash ... -
Relevance theory and pragmatic impairment
(1999)This paper summarizes aspects of relevance theory that are useful for exploring impairment of pragmatic comprehension in children. It explores data from three children with pragmatic language diffi culties within this ... -
Relevant energy ranges for astrophysical reaction rates
(2010-04)Effective energy windows (Gamow windows) of astrophysical reaction rates for (p,gamma), (p,n), (p,alpha), (alpha,gamma), (alpha,n), (alpha,p), (n,gamma), (n,p), and (n,alpha) on targets with 10 -
Relevant information as a formalised approach to evaluate game mechanics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)We present a new approach to use adaptive AI in the game design process to aid evaluating of game mechanics. During production, this is a crucial task to improve the player satisfaction with a game title. The problem with ... -
Relevant information in optimized persistence vs. progeny strategies

Reliability and validity of non-radiographic methods of thoracic kyphosis measurement : A systematic review
(2014-02-01)Background: A wide array of instruments are available for non-invasive thoracic kyphosis measurement. Guidelines for selecting outcome measures for use in clinical and research practice recommend that properties such as ... -
Reliability of an experimental method to analyse the impact point on a golf ball during putting
(2015)This study aimed to examine the reliability of an experimental method identifying the location of the impact point on a golf ball during putting. Forty trials were completed using a mechanical putting robot set to reproduce ... -
Reliability of astrophysical jet simulations in 2D. On inter-code reliability and numerical convergence
(2001-12-01)In the present paper, we examine the convergence behavior and inter-code reliability of astrophysical jet simulations in axial symmetry. We consider both pure hydrodynamic jets and jets with a dynamically significant ... -
Reliability of human cryopreserved hepatocytes and liver microsomes as in vitro systems to predict metabolic clearance
(2008-10-01)A total of 110 drugs, selected to cover a range of physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties, were used to explore standard approaches to the prediction of in vivo metabolic clearance using drug-depletion profiles ... -
Reliability of measuring thoracic kyphosis angle, lumbar lordosis angle and straight leg raise with an inclinometer
(2012)Purpose: Several non-invasive measurement methods have been described in the literature for recording thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis and straight leg raise (SLR). However, attempts to quantify the reliability of the ... -
The Reliability of One vs. Three Grip Trials in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Subjects
(2006-07-01)Grip strength is used in the assessment of hand and upper limb function. Current recommendations state that taking the mean of three repeated grip trials provides more reliable results than only one trial. A repeated ... -
Reliability of sonographic assessment of tendinopathy in tennis elbow
(2012-01)To assess the reliability and compute the minimum detectable change using sonographic scales to quantify the extent of pathology and hyperaemia in the common extensor tendon in people with tennis elbow. The lateral elbows ... -
Reliable change in outcomes from The BodyMind Approach™ with people who have medically unexplained symptoms/ somatic symptom disorder in primary healthcare
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2017-04)This chapter reports on outcomes of an initiative based on research undertaken by the author between 2004 and 2009, and further practice- based evidence, which supports people with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) – ... -
Reliable Power Gating With NBTI Aging Benefits
(2016-02-15)In this paper, we show that negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) aging of sleep transistors (STs), together with its detrimental effect for circuit performance and lifetime (LT), presents considerable benefits for ... -
"Relic jet activity in “Hanny’s Voorwerp” revealed by the LOFAR Two metre Sky Survey"
(2022-08-01)We report new observations of 'Hanny's Voorwerp' (hereafter HV) taken from the second data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS). HV is a highly-ionized region in the environs of the galaxy IC2497, first ... -
