RESTORE—Cognitive functional therapy with or without movement sensor biofeedback versus usual care for chronic, disabling low back pain: study protocol for a randomised controlled... by Alison H McGregor, Mark Hancock, Peter Kent, P O'Sullivan, Anne Smith, Terry Haines, Amity Campbell, Jan Hartvigsen, Kieran O'Sullivan, Alistair Vickery, JP Caneiro, Robert Schütze, Robert A Laird, Stephanie Attwell

“…Recent evidence suggests that individualised cognitive and movement rehabilitation combined with lifestyle advice (cognitive functional therapy (CFT)) may produce larger and more sustained effects than traditional approaches, and movement sensor biofeedback may enhance outcomes. Therefore, this three-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare the clinical effectiveness and economic efficiency of individualised CFT delivered with or without movement sensor biofeedback, with usual care for patients with chronic, disabling LBP.Methods and analysis Pragmatic, three-arm, randomised, parallel group, superiority RCT comparing usual care (n=164) with CFT (n=164) and CFT-plus-movement-sensor-biofeedback (n=164). …”

Development and Testing of a Methodology for Assessing of the Correlation Velocity Measurements’ Accuracy for the Hydrodynamic Investigations of the Turbulent Coolant Flow in Nucle... by I. A. Konovalov, A. A. Chesnokov, A. A. Barinov, S. M. Dmitriev, A. E. Khrobostov, M. A. Legchanov, S. S. Borodin, M. A. Makarov

“…The aim of this work was to develop a technique for assessing the effect of noise recorded by a measuring system on the flow rate readings obtained using the correlation method.A technique to assess the effect of noise as well as the relative position and acquisition period of sensors is presented. An insignificant concentration of a salt solution (NaCl or Na2SO4 ) is used as a passive impurity which creates a conductivity gradient of the medium recorded by a conductometric system. …”

Strongly connected dominating set construction algorithm balancing time delay and energy consumption by Yan-jing SUN, Jian-sheng QIAN, Shan-shan MA, Peng REN

“…To the asymmetry of link in wireless sensor networks,a problem about the strongly connected dominating tree with bounded transmission delay (SDTT) was put forward.The distributed strongly connected dominating tree (SCDT) algorithm was also proposed to construct strongly connected dominating set balancing transmission delay and energy consumption.Firstly,it constructed a maximal independent set (MIS) based on a unit disk graph,and then implemented the SCDT algorithm based on a double weighted and directed graph fulfilling the requirements of energy consumption and transmission delays simultaneously.The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the presented algorithm can correctly solve the SDTT problem and construct the connected dominating sets(CDS)with constraints to form virtual backbone.…”
