Radio Electric Asymmetric Conveyer Neurobiological Treatments in Non-Specific Neck Pain: A Retrospective Study

Introduction Non-specific neck pain (NSNP) is a rather common symptomatology, and various therapeutic approaches are aimed to treat it, in the field of manual therapy, physiotherapy and pharmacology. Methods This retrospective study analyzes 65 subjects treated for NSNP with a neurobiological stimulation administered by medical devices based on radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) technology. Initially, a neuro stimulation treatment called neuro postural optimization (NPO) was administered to improve the coordination of muscle activity and reduce adaptive decompensations. Subsequently, the bio stimulation treatment called tissue optimization (TO) was administered to reduce the algodystrophic and muscle contracture component. The evaluation of the efficacy of these treatments was made through the subjective evaluation of pain by the patients. Data were collected by the use of the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and neck pain questionnaire (NPQ), administered before the treatments and at the end of the cycle of therapy. Results The analysis of the results shows that this type of approach and treatment scheme is effective in reducing the symptoms of NSNP in both male and female subjects, regardless of their age. Other subjective data not quantified in this study but reported by all subjects, during and after the treatment cycle, were a feeling of lower stiffness of neck and shoulder, a reduction in the thickening of the cervicobrachial tissues, and a clear and progressive reduction of pain perception during the skin rolling (SR) maneuver. Conclusion The combination of REAC-NPO neuromodulation and REAC-TO biomodulation treatments used in this study was shown to be effective in NPRS.
Are CLIL texts too complicated?

Abstract This article presents a comparative study of the linguistic characteristics of some materials used to teach English as a foreign language, and Geography and History through English in a Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) experience in the Basque Country with students aged 11–13. This paper analyzes and compares the contents of current textbooks using Coh-Metrix and AzterTest, which calculate stylistic and linguistic metrics regarding lexical and grammatical complexity, readability and coherence. Finally, the study suggests that there are significant differences mainly in vocabulary level, narrativity and cohesion, it identifies the potential difficulties of CLIL texts and offers advice on how to overcome them. Raising awareness of the complexity of some texts used in CLIL can provide a starting point for pedagogical adaptations and contribute to optimizing learning.
Multiscale Molecular Modelling of ATP‐Fueled Supramolecular Polymerisation and Depolymerisation**

Fuel-regulated self-assembly is a key principle by which Nature creates spatiotemporally controlled materials and dynamic molecular systems that are in continuous communication (molecular exchange) with the external environment. Designing artificial materials that self-assemble and disassemble via conversion/consumption of a chemical fuel is a grand challenge in supramolecular chemistry, which requires a profound knowledge of the factors governing these complex systems. Here we focus on recently reported metal-coordinated monomers that polymerise in the presence of ATP and depolymerise upon ATP hydrolysis, exploring their fuel-regulated self-assembly/disassembly via multiscale molecular modelling. We use all-atom simulations to assess the role of ATP in stabilising these monomers in assemblies, and we then build on a minimalistic model to investigate their fuel-driven polymerization and depolymerization on a higher scale. In this way, we elucidate general aspects of fuel-regulated self-assembly that are important toward the rational design of new types of bioinspired materials.

Crocus adamioides (Iridaceae) in the Bulgarian flora

Crocus adamioides Kernd. et Pasche, as it is currently known, was originally treated as C. biflorus Mill. subsp. adamii B. Mathew in the flora of Bulgaria by Mathew (1982) and verified by Rukšāns (2017). The taxon was afterwards described as a separate species (Kerndorff et al. 2012), the holotype being collected in Kırklareli Province, European Turkey. The species was for the first time mapped in two floristic regions of Bulgaria. The diagnostic characters based on the general morphology and leaf anatomy were defined from the natural populations of the species and compared to the type specimen and relevant data from the literature. The phylogenetic position of the species was clarified by sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS: ITS1 + 5.SsrDNA + ITS2) and comparison of the obtained sequence with those annotated in NCBI. A phylogenetic tree was built using Bayesian phylogeny. Results have shown the highest degree of phylogenetic similarity with C. adamioides from Turkey. The closest relative C. ranjeloviciorum Kernd. , Pasche, Harpke et Raca remains in the proximity. Our morphological, anatomical and molecular analyses have revealed that the Bulgarian population shows a peculiar combination of characters specific to C. adamioides.
Physiological basis for tolerance of four Zea mays hybrids to RPA 201772

Greenhouse and laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the physiological basis for differential tolerance of four Zea mays L. hybrids to RPA 201772. Differences in Zea mays tolerance were quantified by determining the herbicide rate required to injure and reduce Z. mays height 50% (GR50). GR50 values indicated that the Z. mays hybrids ‘Pioneer 3751’ and ‘Pioneer 3737’ were less tolerant to RPA 201772 than the hybrids ‘Pioneer 3394’ and ‘Pioneer 3963. ’ Experiments using 14C-RPA 201772 were conducted to determine if hybrid sensitivity was due to differential uptake, translocation, or metabolism of the herbicide. Differences in hybrid tolerance were primarily due to differential herbicide metabolism rates. The time required for 50% inactivation (T ½) of RPA 201772 was 42 and 52 h for the more tolerant hybrids and 66 and 93 h for the more sensitive hybrids. Increased uptake of RPA 201772 was also a contributing factor to the sensitivity of one of the hybrids.
Factors associated with adherence to a web-based alcohol intervention among college students

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the association between student characteristics and recruitment strategies in the adherence of college students to a web-based alcohol intervention. Participants were 46,329 Brazilian students aged from 18 to 30, who consumed alcohol during the past three months. Three recruitment strategies were implemented: open invitations, and personally-addressed invitations with or without non-monetary incentives. We evaluated the educational, sociodemographic, motivational, and alcohol consumption effects on adherence using logistic regression models. Women (aOR = 1.09 [1.04; 1.14]), students with higher income (aOR = 1.32 [1.21; 1.45]), and more motivated students (aOR = 1.04 [1.03; 1.05]) were more adherent to the intervention, as well as those reporting binge drinking (aOR = 1.26 [1.19; 1.33]) and alcohol hazardous use (aOR = 1.11 [1.05; 1.18]). The use of incentives was the main factor associated with adherence (aOR = 3.69 [2.46; 5.55]). Our results may help the development of future web-based interventions related to alcohol use.
Vehicle Trajectory Similarity

The increasing availability of vehicular trajectory data is at the core of smart mobility solutions. Such data offer us unprecedented information for the development of trajectory data mining-based applications. An essential task of trajectory analysis is the employment of efficient and accurate methods to compare trajectories. This work presents a systematic survey of vehicular trajectory similarity measures and provides a panorama of the research field. First, we show an overview of vehicle trajectory data, including the models and some preprocessing techniques. Then, we give a comprehensive review of methods to compare trajectories and their intrinsic properties. We classify the methods according to the trajectory representation and features such as metricity, computational complexity, and robustness to noise and local time shift. Last, we discuss the applications of vehicular trajectory similarity measures and some open research problems.
Partisan Shocks and Financial Markets: Evidence from Close National Elections

This paper estimates the effect of partisan electoral victories on stock and bond markets. We employ a regression-discontinuity-based event study in a sample of 758 worldwide post-1945 national elections, using existing data on parliamentary elections and newly collected data on presidential elections. Left-wing electoral victories cause significant and substantial short-term decreases in stock market valuations, while the response of sovereign bond markets is mostly muted. Stock market effects are stronger and more persistent in elections in which the left's proposed economic policy is more radical and in developing economies.
Numerous speeds-loads controller for DC-shunt motor based on PID controller with on-line parameters tuning supported by genetic algorithm

Direct-current (DC) motor is a commonly used motor; its speed is directly affected by applying mechanical load. This paper proposes the design of wide speed-load range controller for a direct-current (DC) shunt motor based on proportional–integral–derivative (PID controller) with genetic system for controller parameters adjusting. The genetic based PID controller is simulated by using Matlab software package and tested with different sudden load values and different working speeds. A present control loop contains the suggested PID controller also Pulse-Width-Modulation PWM generator and H-bridge inverter. With the genetic system enhancement to parameters of developed PID controller, the results demonstration that this controller has great impact to preserve the profiles of the motor speed and produced torque after applied sudden load, and its intensification the motor performance at different speed and load conditions.
Prediction of online topics’ popularity patterns

Popularity prediction of online contents is always a tool of emergency management, business decision-making, and public opinion monitoring. Most previous work has made efforts to predict the volumes or levels of popularity, but patterns of popularity evolution are remaining largely unexplored. Actually, topic popularity patterns can offer more detailed information for event detection and early warning. In this article, we proposed an effective method to discover and predict the popularity patterns of topics on the Internet which combined clustering and classification models. This method does not rely on the early time data of topic propagation, so it can predict the future popularity pattern at the initial stage of topic releasing. First, we chose a time series clustering algorithm K-SC to obtain basic types of topic popularity patterns. Then, through acquiring and evaluating multiple features related to the topics including publisher features, outward characteristics of content and textual ones, we built the prediction model of topic popularity patterns based on machine learning methods. The experimental results show that it is suitable to cluster four basic patterns of topic popularity from the experimental data. What’s more, making use of certain initial characteristics, Decision Tree model can effectively predict the popularity pattern of a newly released topic, with an accuracy of 89.4%.
Characterization of Aquilaria malaccensis Callus Cells using SEM and Somatic Embryogenesis Associated Genes Identification

Aquilaria malaccensis or gaharu is one of Malaysia’s top tropical resources that is being protected and conserved. Somatic embryogenesis is a plant tissue culture method used most extensively in commercial micropropagation systems and conservation purposes. This study aims to optimize callus induction techniques for somatic embryogenesis study using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis. In this study, callus was induced on Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium supplemented with a combination of plant growth regulators and optimized parameters (explant used, sterilization techniques, media content, pH media, plant growth regulators, incubation condition, and incubation temperature). The cells were subcultured for long-term callus maintenance and subjected to SEM analysis for somatic embryogenesis confirmation. Four set of genes associated to somatic embryogenesis (SERK, BBM, LEC1, and WOX) were studied based on National Centre for Biotechnology Information database and literatures. The data obtained were used for primer design and gene amplification using 3 different tissues (leaf, stem, callus). The highest frequencies of callus induction were observed on Murashikage and Skoog medium supplemented with 6-Benzylaminopurine and 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid together with optimized growth parameters. SEM analysis showed embryogenic characteristics in cells of the yellow compact calli evidenced by the presence of small and isodiametric cells. Only SERK gene was successfully amplified and enable to proceed with in silico analysis. This study provides fundamental results for genetic conservation effort of A. malaccensis related to somatic embryogenesis study.
The impact of rainforest area reduction in the Guineo‐Congolian region on the tempo of diversification and habitat shifts in the Berlinia clade (Leguminosae)

The Guineo‐Congolian region in Africa constitutes the second largest area of tropical rainforest (TRF) in the world. It covered an estimated 15–22 million km2 during the late Miocene (55–11 Ma) and it has experienced since a declining trend, currently reaching 3.4 million km2, associated with increasing aridification and the replacement of TRF by savanna habitats. Here, we examine whether rainforest area contraction led to a decrease in net diversification rates linked to increasing extinction, or if it is associated with increasing opportunities for allopatric or ecological speciation during periods of forest fragmentation.
Fermi Level Engineering for Large Permittivity in BaTiO3-Based Multilayers

Multilayered doped BaTiO3 thin films have been fabricated by physical vapor deposition (PVD) on low-cost polycrystalline substrates with the aim to improve dielectric properties by controlling point charge defects at the interfaces. We show that carefully designed interfaces lead to increasing the relative permittivity of the BaTiO3 thin films, in contradiction with the common belief that interfaces behave as dead layers. High relative permittivity up to 1030 and tanδ = 4% at 100 kHz and room temperature were obtained on BaTiO3 multilayered films deposited on Si/Pt substrates by PVD. The large permittivity is suspected to be an extrinsic contribution due to band bending at the interfaces, as inferred by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A 20-nm depletion layer was found to be associated with an interdiffusion of dopants, as measured by depth profiling with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. The films exhibit high permittivity and low dielectric losses stable between 200 and 400 K, which meet the requirement of electronic applications.

A Novel Method for Designing Motion Profiles Based on a Fuzzy Logic Algorithm Using the Hip Joint Angles of a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Robot

In this study, a novel method for designing real-time motion profiles based on a weighted fuzzy logic algorithm for an exoskeleton robot was proposed. When developing exoskeleton robots, it is important that they can identify a wearer’s motion intent in real time; therefore, we produced the motion profiles of an exoskeleton robot knee joint angles using hip joint angles and plantar pressure sensors. Two types of sensors were used to design the robot’s knee estimation angle profiles in real time—namely, hip joint angles to design the fuzzy logic algorithm and plantar pressure sensors to classify the robot’s gait phase. In the fuzzy set, four fuzzy inputs were produced through the hip joint angles; then, four fuzzy outputs were implemented based on the fuzzy inputs using 68 predefined rule bases in the fuzzy inference. The fuzzy outputs were used as the basis for calculating the motion profiles during the defuzzification. To adjust the knee angle of the robot, the weighted values were assigned to each hip joint angle section. To validate the proposed algorithm, we conducted two experiments—namely, the exoskeleton robot with and without an actuator. The method was verified through experiments showing that the motion profiles estimated the robot’s knee angles close to the desired angles.
