We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a stochastic version of the forward-backward splitting algorithm for finding a zero of the sum of a maximally monotone set-valued operator and a cocoercive operator in Hilbert spaces. Our general setting features stochastic approximations of the cocoercive operator and stochastic perturbations in the evaluation of the resolvents of the set-valued operat...

Relaxation techniques are established in managing of cardiac patients during rehabilitation aiming to reduce future adverse cardiac events. It has been hypothesized that relaxation-training programs may significantly improve cardiac autonomic nervous tone. However, this has not been proven for all available relaxation techniques. We tested this assumption by investigating cardiac vagal modulati...

Self-association is an important biological phenomenon that is associated with many cellular processes. NMR relaxation measurements provide data about protein molecular dynamics at the atomic level and are sensitive to changes induced by self-association. Thus, measurements and analysis of NMR relaxation data can provide structurally resolved information on self-association that would not be ac...

Zusammenfassung A Note on the ART of Relaxation. The ART algorithm, an iterative technique for solving large systems of linear equations, is shown to converge even for inconsistent systems, provided the relaxation parameters are chosen appropriately. The limit is a weighted least squares solution. AMS Subject Classifications: 65FI0, 15A09, 92A07.

While tailoring a garment or a technical textile, relaxation processes of a knitted fabric after production have to be taken into account. Such dimensional changes can occur during a long time of dry relaxation, during wet relaxation, or during washing relaxation, the latter having the strongest infl uence on a fabric. Besides fabric construction and yarn material, the dimensions of a knitted f...

background and purpose: anxiety is a common problem associated with invasive medical procedures, especially in patients undergoing coronary angiography. as an intensifier at cardiovascular reactions, anxiety poses significant risk to the health of patients undergoing angiography. researchers believe that use of benson’s relaxation technique could reduce anxiety in different patients. this study...

conclusion in breast cancer after nac, the lesion t2 relaxation time was reduced in the responders, and this finding is potentially useful to assess the response to nac. results in 26 cases with nac, the mean lesion t2 relaxation time before nac was 81.34 ± 13.68 ms, compared with 64.50 ± 8.71 ms after nac. significant differences in the lesion t2 relaxation times existed between the pre- and p...

We evaluated and modeled the viscoelastic characteristics of chitosan and chitosan-gelatin scaffolds prepared using a freeze-drying technique. Chitosan and chitosan-gelatin solutions (0.5 and 2 wt.%) were frozen at -80°C and freeze-dried. Using the scaffolds, uniaxial tensile properties were evaluated under physiological conditions (hydrated in phosphate buffered saline at 37°C) at a cross-head...

background: fatigue is one of the important factors in nursing performance because it affects the quality of care provided to the patients. in this regard, some complementary interventions such as benson relaxation techniques may relieve fatigue. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of benson relaxation on fatigue of nurses working in intensive care units. methods: this is an experimental st...
