In general, Allied management was more flexible — British planners quickly figured out the best way to place radar installations, for example — while the Axis powers, with their more hierarchical cultures, tended toward rigidity.
Froebelian doctrine tended toward rigidity, and her expression of it, shaped by the influence of German Idealism, was perhaps more so; consequently she was unsympathetic to innovation in method.
A lifelong loner who still retains traces of a foreign accent from his European roots, he may have inherited a tendency toward rigidity from his mild crank of a father, who saw the world in black and white and fired off letters to the newspapers at the rate of two a week.
Their development in the perissodactyls has been toward increasing rigidity, following the trend in the limbs as a whole.
Fibroblasts cultured on 2D substrates with a rigidity gradient preferentially move toward the stiffer region, a phenomenon that was termed durotaxis [ 474].
They are characterized by a belief in strong discipline, rigidity of rules, and an impersonal attitude toward their athletes.
If that case is solid, then either popular Quinean antagonism toward analyticity should prompt the rejection of rigidity or else the appeal of rigidity should prompt the rejection of the familiar antagonism toward analyticity.
Data revealed trends toward dose-dependent increases in peak torque, torsional rigidity, shear stress, and shear modulus 4 weeks after rhBMP-2 treatment.
While the statistical analysis lacked significance (p > 0.05), normalized data for both 4-week rhBMP-2-treated groups revealed strong trends toward dose-dependent improvement of peak torque, maximum torsional rigidity, maximum shear stress, and shear modulus (Table 4).
If this rigidity is compromised or pulling forces excessively strong, the membrane moves instead toward the spindle, forming an invagination.
