Masturbation and Sexual Satisfaction in Relationally Committed Men
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between masturbation frequency with and without the use of pornography, and sexual satisfaction in men in committed relationships. One hundred and twelve participants ranging from 23 to 70 years of age completed a sexuality survey and an Index of Sexual Satisfaction survey. Correlations revealed a significant negative relationship between masturbation frequency during the last month and sexual satisfaction. When clinical participants were factored out, correlation between masturbation frequency and sexual satisfaction dropped. This study found that using themes of incest or homosexuality, while masturbating, was significantly associated with higher ISS scores indicating less sexual satisfaction. This investigation discovered conflicts with existing research in finding a significant negative correlation between frequency of church attendance and frequency of masturbation. Thus, increased church attendance is correlated with a decrease in masturbation

A Criterion for Non-Darcy Flow in Porous Media
No full textNon-Darcy behavior is important for describing fluid flow in porous media in situations where high velocity occurs. A criterion to identify the beginning of non-Darcy flow is needed. Two types of criteria, the Reynolds number and the Forchheimer number, have been used in the past for identifying the beginning of non-Darcy flow. Because each of these criteria has different versions of definitions, consistent results cannot be achieved. Based on a review of previous work, the Forchheimer number is revised and recommended here as a criterion for identifying non-Darcy flow in porous media. Physically, this revised Forchheimer number has the advantage of clear meaning and wide applicability. It equals the ratio of pressure drop caused by liquid–solid interactions to that by viscous resistance. It is directly related to the non-Darcy effect. Forchheimer numbers are experimentally determined for nitrogen flow in Dakota sandstone, Indiana limestone and Berea sandstone at flowrates varying four orders of magnitude. These results indicate that superficial velocity in the rocks increases non-linearly with the Forchheimer number. The critical Forchheimer number for non-Darcy flow is expressed in terms of the critical nonDarcy effect. Considering a 10% non-Darcy effect, the critical Forchheimer number would be 0.11

Does Portfolio Rebalancing Help Investors Avoid Common Mistakes?
No full textInvesting decisions driven by normal human behavior can have a devastating impact upon long-term wealth accumulation. Individual investors, and sometimes even professional fund managers, allow their emotions to get in the way of rational investment decision-making. As investors, emotions often encourage people to buy and sell investments at the wrong time. Investors have a costly tendency to buy high and sell low, pouring more money into the market when it is up and selling when things look dire (Futrelle 2004). From a long-term wealth-accumulation standpoint, this is exactly opposite of what investors should do in order to enhance returns and accumulate wealth. This article presents an overview of some behavioral aspects of investor decision-making and examines the impact of portfolio rebalancing on reducing common investment mistakes and achieving investment goals
Effects of Strength Training on the Quadriceps to Hamstring Ratio in a Female Recreational Athlete
Get PDFKennedy, H. P. EFFECTS OFSTRENGTH TRAINING ON THE QUADRICEPS TO HAMSTRING RATIO IN A FEMALE RECREATIONAL ATHLETE, 2005. Three recreational female athletes were tested on the effects a strength training program would have on their quadriceps to hamstring ratio. The subjects ranged in age from 24-33 years old. The program was an 8 week strength training program. One subject was unable to complete the program due to pregnancy and one was injured in a car wreck midway through the program. The subject who completed the 8 week training program showed overall improvement in lower extremity strength but did not show improvement in decreasing the quadriceps to hamstring ratio
Demographic and Psychographic Variables Associated with Hispanic Business Majors Intending to Pursue Graduate Studies: Marketing Implications
No full textIncreasing shifts in population proportions have led to an increasing demand on education institutions to recruit Hispanics. A random and stratified national sample was used to answer the following questions: (1) What are the psychographic typologies that are likely to identify Hispanic students by their desire to pursue or not to pursue graduate education? (2) What relationship, if any, does income of the parents play in a Hispanic student\u27s decision to pursue graduate education? (3) Is there a direct relationship between the parents\u27 level of education and Hispanic students\u27 decision to pursue graduate work?
This paper attempts to dissolve myths about the variables associated with Hispanics\u27 participation in graduate education, and to make recommendations for effective appeals to encourage Hispanic students to attend graduate programs
Attitudes. Do They Really Make a Difference?
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between maintenance of physical fitness, over a two-year period, and attitudes toward physical education and fitness testing among elementary students. Participants in this study consisted of 199 elementary school children. Differences in Fitnessgram scores between Hispanic and Caucasian boys and girls at various ages were compared. A 2 (gender) by 2 (ethnicity) by 5 (birth year) by 4 (testing session, repeated measure) analysis of variance (ANOVA) was computed for the Mile Run and BMI scores. The hypothesis that those students who had high positive attitudes toward physical education, or high positive attitudes toward fitness testing, would be more likely to maintain or improve their fitness levels was not supported
