	Rigor mortis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rigor mortis is a recognizable sign of death that is caused by a chemical change in the muscles, causing the limbs of the corpse to become stiff ("rigor") and impossible to move or manipulate.
		The biochemical cause of rigor mortis is hydrolysis of ATP in the muscle tissue, the chemical energy source required for movement.
		The onset of rigor mortis and its resolution determines the tenderness of meat.

	Rigour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are separate from judicial and political applications with their suggestion of laws enforced to the letter, or political absolutism.
		An opportunistic tendency to use any argument at hand is not very rigorous, if very common in politics, for example.
		Most mathematical arguments are presented as prototypes of formally rigorous proofs, on the grounds that too much formality may in fact obscure what is being said.

	rigor
		It is the thesis of this paper that while the rhetoric of rigor functions to attack the academic enterprise in an attempt to reclaim it, the rhetoric also functions as a legitimation rhetoric within the university to justify administrative intrusions into the pedagogical enterprise in the form of increased organization, control, and surveillance.
		The call for rigor and accountability originates in the political realm of Reagan conservatism to be used as a discourse to rescue the educational enterprise from the liberal drift rooted in 60?s radicalism, a drift which was linked to the slippage of American economic dominance.
		The rhetoric of rigor like all legitimization discourses is a defensive discourse which speaks to the failure of socializing institutions to transform the next generation into the vision of the previous one.

	Decomposition: What is rigor mortis?
		Rigor mortis is the state a body reaches when the oxygen supply to the muscles ceases but the cells continue to respire anaerobically (without oxygen).
		Rigor mortis ceases as the body cells die, enzymes are released and the cells decompose.
		During rigor mortis, the tissues are acidic because of the lactic acid and this makes them unpalatable to fly larvae.

	Program Details for A Dialogue on Rigor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Let’s face it; rigor is a concept that applies to all educators in much the same way as integrity applies to political leaders: we say we value it, we aspire to achieve it and (whether or not we really ever do achieve it) the public demands that we strive for it.
		Rather, rigor is a highly personalized element of the teaching/learning partnership in which the teacher lights a fire of academic ambition and personal responsibility in the learner and shares with the learner a mutual accountability for stoking that fire with high expectations, achievement and continuous growth.
		Rigor is not raised by boosting the average IQ of a classroom of students; it is raised by boosting mutual (teacher and learner) accountability for elevating the expectation, performance and capacity of each student.

	How does Rigor Mortis work? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Rigor mortis is the rigidity of the body that occurs after death.
		Rigor mortis is Latin for "stiffness of death".
		Rigor mortis wears off as the tissues begin to decompose - proteolytic enzymes in the lysosomes of the muscle cells escape and begin to dissolve the myofilaments.

		Differences in the rigor mortis between these muscles are reflected by differences in rigor mortis between the predominant muscle fibers, but the cause of rapid progress of rigor mortis in red muscle fiber is unknown.
		Rigor mortis could be resolved by proteases which would be activated by high levels of intracellular Ca However, it is not known whether postmortem levels of Ca are different between red and white muscle.
		Rigor mortis progressed more rapidly in red than in white muscles, and this study was the first to demonstrate such a difference between muscle types.

	dying and death
		Rigor mortis tends to affect the smallest muscles first, and then spread throughout the larger muscles.
		Typically, rigor is first apparent in the small muscles of the eyelids, then the lower jaw and neck, followed by the limbs.
		Thus, when rigor affects the orbicularis muscles shortly afterwards, the force of contraction they produce is not enough to overcome the stiffness of the levator muscles and the eyes remain open.

	Rigor Mortis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Rigor mortis starts in the smallest muscles, and continues to spread until all muscles are stiff.
		While this is true in a general sense, the real rule of thumb is rigor begins with small muscles and continues to large ones; which means the muscles in the face (which tend to be small) will be affected sooner than those in the leg (which tend to be longer).
		To establish the degree of rigor mortis, a medical examiner will often feel the jaw, as this is the first place rigor mortis is noticable, and the first place from which it will disappear.

	Quality and quality changes in fresh fish - 5. Postmortem changes in fish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Rigor mortis starts immediately or shortly after death if the fish is starved and the glycogen reserves are depleted, or if the fish is stressed.
		A fish in rigor mortis cannot normally be filleted or processed because the carcass is too stiff to be manipulated and is often contorted, making machine-handling impossible (see also section 3.2 on bleeding and section 5.1 on sensory changes).
		The resolution of rigor is a process still not completely understood but always results in the subsequent softening (relaxation) of the muscle tissue and is thought to be related to the activation of one or more of the naturally-occurring muscle enzymes, digesting away certain components of the rigor mortis complex.

	On Intellectual Rigor
		Intellectual rigor is the art of convincingly defining the axioms and proving the most relevant properties of some properly bounded logically possible domain.
		This line of thought would allow one to conclude that intellectual rigor –unlike the usual matters on which it is exercised—is a creative and intuitive modus operandi.
		That these collections of general principles are not truly intellectually rigorous can be seen from the usual fact that many of these analogies are never rigorously worked out to completion, because, at a certain point, nobody cares to work out a problem that has ceased to be one.

	Biophysical Journal: Rigor-force producing cross-bridges in skeletal muscle fibers activated by a substoichiometric ...
		The latter cross-bridges contribute to produce the rigor force by interacting with the actin filaments, first producing the active force and then being locked in a noncycling state(s), transforming their configuration on the actin filaments to stably sustain the produced force as a passive rigor force.
		Although the rigor force is considered to be a passively produced force, it is generated after the active force production when cross-bridges hydrolyzing the last stock of ATP finally attach to the thin actin filaments, forming rigor complexes.
		Therefore it could be argued whether the cross-bridges producing the rigor force are in the rigor configuration(s) or in the active force-generating configuration(s).

		The rule of rigor means that from "p · q" we can infer only the left-hand conjunct "p" by the rule of simplification.
		Mathematicians differed on methods by which they attacked this problem, but they agreed that the concept of proof in mathematics had to be made much more rigorous and precise, and that proofs had to be conducted according to a much higher standard of rigor.
		The rule of rigor corresponds to the fact that, at the lowest level, computing machines perform only unintelligent syntactical operations and never "decide for themselves" that steps are so obvious that they can be skipped.

		The Arctic Oscillation is a seesaw pattern in which atmospheric pressure at the polar and middle latitudes fluctuates between positive and negative phases.

	Contraction and rigor mortis
		Explaining the development of rigor is a serious undertaking, because first you must understand the biochemistry of muscle contraction.
		In early research, it was though that increased tenderness might originate from the breakdown of rigor bonds between thick and thin filaments, but now this appears unlikely, because increased tenderness during conditioning still occurs when sarcomeres are at a stretched length that virtually eliminates any overlap of thick and thin filaments.
		If the muscle happens to be at a contracted length when rigor develops, we have a major problem, because the massive overlap of thick and thin filaments causes severe meat toughness.

		In the absence of Ca, photolytic release of ATP in muscle fibres initially in the rigor state caused the force and stiffness to decrease monotonically towards their values in relaxed muscle fibres.
		In the presence of Ca, photolytic release of ATP resulted in an initial rapid decrease in force, followed by a slower increase to the isometric plateau.
		However the gradual return towards the rigor state began earlier when only 0·33 mM ATP was released.
