Literary and artistic naturalism aims at accuracy and objectivity and cultivates realistic and even sordid portrayals of people and their environment. Philosophical naturalism, which is often identified with materialism, holds that minds, spirits, and ideas are fundamentally material.
For the stiffness to weight ratio, see specific modulus. The specific strength is a material's strength (force per unit area at failure) divided by its density. It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa /(kg / m 3), or N Â·m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2, though the latter form is rarely used.
Waist-to-hip ratio Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is one of several measurements your doctor can use to see if youâre overweight, and if that excess weight is putting your health at risk. Unlike your body mass index (BMI), which calculates the ratio of your weight to your height, WHR measures the ratio of your waist circumference to your hip circumference. It determines how much fat is stored on your waist, hips, and buttocks. Not all excess weight is the same when it comes to your health risks.
