description: In this paper, we have investigated late time acceleration for a spatially flat dust filled Universe in Brans-Dicke theory in the presence of a positive cosmological constant $Λ$ . Expressions for Hubble's constant, luminosity distance and apparent magnitude have been obtained for our model. The theoretical results are compared with the observed values of the the latest 287 high red shift ($ .3 \leq z \leq 1.4$ ) SN Ia supernova data's taken from Union 2.1 compilation to estimate the present values of the matter and dark energy parameters $(Ω_{m})_0$ and $(Ω_Λ)_0$. We have also estimated the present value of Hubble's constant $H_0$ in the light of a updated sample of Hubble parameter measurements including 19 independent data points. The results are found to be in good agreement with recent astrophysical observations. We have also calculated various physical parameters such as the matter and dark energy densities, the present age of the universe and deceleration parameter. The value for BD-coupling constant $ω$ is set to be 40000 on the basis of accuracy of the solar system tests and recent experimental evidence.

description: This paper presents a fast decorrelated neuro-ensemble with heterogeneous features for large-scale data analytics, where stochastic configuration networks (SCNs) are employed as base learner models and the well-known negative correlation learning (NCL) strategy is adopted to evaluate the output weights. By feeding a large number of samples into the SCN base models, we obtain a huge sized linear equation system which is difficult to be solved by means of computing a pseudo-inverse used in the least squares method. Based on the group of heterogeneous features, the block Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel methods are employed to iteratively evaluate the output weights, and a convergence analysis is given with a demonstration on the uniqueness of these iterative solutions. Experiments with comparisons on two large-scale datasets are carried out, and the system robustness with respect to the regularizing factor used in NCL is given. Results indicate that the proposed ensemble learning techniques have good potential for resolving large-scale data modelling problems.

description: Since 2019, Instagram has been testing the removal of a visible like count on posts. This change particularly pertains to social media influencers whose popularity is visibly displayed through the number of likes and comments their posts receive. Therefore, the present study experimentally investigated how varying levels of the like (i.e. hidden, approximate, and exact) and comment (hidden and exact) display on Instagram’s Explore page affect user’s credibility evaluations of unknown influencers. Guided by the Heuristic Systematic Model, MAIN Model and Warranting Principle, this study conducted a 3 (like display: hidden likes, approximated number of likes, and exact number of likes) x 2 (comments display: hidden comment count and visible comment count) x 2 (influencer type: travel and food) mixed-design online experiment. Three hundred twenty-eight participants were randomly assigned to one of six conditions in which they viewed two posts in a random order, one from a fictional travel influencer and one from a fictional food influencer, and then responded to questions regarding their perceived source credibility of the influencers. The results show that the visibility of likes and comments does not significantly affect source credibility perceptions of influencers. Thus, this study offers practical implications for influencers that Instagram’s removal of a visible like count will not harm their credibility. Also, this study provides suggestions for future studies to uncover what factors affect an influencer’s perceived source credibility on the Explore page of Instagram.

description: We study the local dynamics near general unstable traveling waves of the 3D Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the energy space by constructing smooth local invariant center-stable, center-unstable and center manifolds. We also prove that (i) the center-unstable manifold attracts nearby orbits exponentially before they get away from the traveling waves along the center directions and (ii) if an initial data is not on the center-stable manifolds, then the forward flow will be ejected away from traveling waves exponentially fast. Furthermore, under a non-degenerate assumption, we show the orbital stability of the traveling waves on the center manifolds, which also implies the local uniqueness of the local invariant manifolds. Our approach based on a geometric bundle coordinates should work for a general class of Hamiltonian PDEs.

description: In recent years, the number of papers on Alzheimer's disease classification has increased dramatically, generating interesting methodological ideas on the use machine learning and feature extraction methods. However, practical impact is much more limited and, eventually, one could not tell which of these approaches are the most efficient. While over 90\% of these works make use of ADNI an objective comparison between approaches is impossible due to variations in the subjects included, image pre-processing, performance metrics and cross-validation procedures. In this paper, we propose a framework for reproducible classification experiments using multimodal MRI and PET data from ADNI. The core components are: 1) code to automatically convert the full ADNI database into BIDS format; 2) a modular architecture based on Nipype in order to easily plug-in different classification and feature extraction tools; 3) feature extraction pipelines for MRI and PET data; 4) baseline classification approaches for unimodal and multimodal features. This provides a flexible framework for benchmarking different feature extraction and classification tools in a reproducible manner. We demonstrate its use on all (1519) baseline T1 MR images and all (1102) baseline FDG PET images from ADNI 1, GO and 2 with SPM-based feature extraction pipelines and three different classification techniques (linear SVM, anatomically regularized SVM and multiple kernel learning SVM). The highest accuracies achieved were: 91% for AD vs CN, 83% for MCIc vs CN, 75% for MCIc vs MCInc, 94% for AD-A$β$+ vs CN-A$β$- and 72% for MCIc-A$β$+ vs MCInc-A$β$+.

Subjects: Social media

description: The Australian Digital Observatory (ADO) was funded by ARDC in 2021 to support large-scale access to and use of social media data by Australian researchers. Examples of the social media data originally of interest included data from platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, Foursquare, Reddit, YouTube and e-Gaming platforms such as Steam/Valve. Since then the core ADO platform has been established: ADOReD - Australian Digital Observatory Research Dashboard (https://www.ado.eresearch.unimelb.edu.au/) at The University of Melbourne. The ADOReD platform includes large-scale Cloud-based data harvesting from a subset of the aforementioned social media platforms (Twitter, Reddit, FlickR, Foursquare, YouTube). However given the disruptions to the social media landscape and especially Twitter with the take-over by Elon Musk in 2022, the platform now incorporates data from the open source Mastodon platform. This talk will cover the core functionality offered through ADOReD along with an exploration of the data it makes available. This includes data, aggregation, topic modelling, sentiment analysis and rich text-based querying capabilities.

The talk will also explore some of the technical challenges related to the Cloud infrastructure upon which ADOReD depends and the ramifications of dealing with truly big data.

description: We study the effect of a turbulent flow of liquid sodium generated in the von Kármán geometry, on the localized field of a magnet placed close to the frontier of the flow. We observe that the field can be transported by the flow on distances larger than its integral length scale. In the most turbulent configurations, the mean value of the field advected at large distance vanishes. However, the rms value of the fluctuations increases linearly with the magnetic Reynolds number. The advected field is strongly intermittent.

description: Biadjoint scalar field theories are increasingly important in the study of scattering amplitudes in various string and field theories. Recently, some first exact nonperturbative solutions of biadjoint scalar theory were presented, with a pure power-like form corresponding to isolated monopole-like objects located at the origin of space. In this paper, we find a novel family of extended solutions, involving non-trivial form factors that partially screen the divergent field at the origin. All previous solutions emerge as special cases.

An additional 16 percent used these cooperatives on a nonmember basis. Twenty-seven percent of all farmers used marketing and 49 percent used farm supply cooperatives. By three categories, the greatest proportion of farmers holding cooperative membership was in the Northern Plains; among dairy farmers; and among farmers with larger farm sales. The smallest proportion of farmers holding cooperative membership was in the South Central region, among livestock and “other” farmers, and among those with smaller farm sales. Forty-four percent of all farmers neither held membership in nor patronized any cooperative in 1980.

description: Pier Maria Giustiniani was bishop of Sagone, in Corsica at the time when the island went into revolution in 1729. This situation put him in a position to bring the contradiction against the Corsican pamphleteers who occupied the front of the scene, Giulio Matteo Natali, author of Disinganno and Don Gregorio Salvini, who signed the Giustificazione in 1758. He opposed to the tenants of the questioning of the Genoese order on the island, presented as tyrannical, a doctrine borrowed from Saint Paul and from the bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, advocating an absolute respect towards the authorities of the Republic.

description: Star forming molecular clouds are observed to be both highly magnetized and turbulent. Consequently the formation of protostellar disks is largely dependent on the complex interaction between gravity, magnetic fields, and turbulence. Studies of non-turbulent protostellar disk formation with realistic magnetic fields have shown that these fields are efficient in removing angular momentum from the forming disks, preventing their formation. However, once turbulence is included, disks can form in even highly magnetized clouds, although the precise mechanism remains uncertain. Here we present several high resolution simulations of turbulent, realistically magnetized, high-mass molecular clouds with both aligned and random turbulence to study the role that turbulence, misalignment, and magnetic fields have on the formation of protostellar disks. We find that when the turbulence is artificially aligned so that the angular momentum is parallel to the initial uniform field, no rotationally supported disks are formed, regardless of the initial turbulent energy. We conclude that turbulence and the associated misalignment between the angular momentum and the magnetic field are crucial in the formation of protostellar disks in the presence of realistic magnetic fields.

description: Magnetic skyrmion bags are composite topological spin textures with arbitrary topological charges. Here, we computationally study the transient rotational motion of skyrmion bags, which is characterized by a global rotation of the inner skyrmions around the central point. Distinct from conventional rotational modes found in skyrmions, the observed rotation is a forced motion associated with the breathing mode induced solely by vertical microwave fields. The driving force behind this rotation originates from the interactions between outer and inner skyrmions, with the angular velocity determined by the phase difference resulting from their asynchronous breathing behaviors. It is also found that skyrmion bags with larger skyrmion numbers are more conducive to the occurrence of the rotation. Our results are useful for understanding the cluster dynamics of complex topological spin textures driven by dynamic fields.

This strongly contrasts with the standard fractional Laplacian case. Second, we consider the fractional critical elliptic equations with nonnegative potentials. We prove compactness of solutions provided the potentials only have non-degenerate zeros. Corresponding to Schoen's Weyl tensor vanishing conjecture for the Yamabe equation on manifolds, we establish a Laplacian vanishing rate of the potentials at blow-up points of solutions.

The method of determination of the parametrizations is based upon a product representation found for the finite Fourier series of string motion in which the constraints are automatically satisfied. The construction of strings with kinks is discussed, including examples. A procedure is laid out for the representation of kinks that arise from self-intersection, and subsequent intercommutation, for harmonically parametrized cosmic strings.

This talk will provide an overview of the Cloud-based dashboard that was established and the technologies used. We explore the various data sets stemming from the different projects as well as other data sets of relevance to the bushfire research community. This includes:
•National air quality (building upon the AURIN funded National Air Quality Database high impact project - https://naqd.eresearch.unimelb.edu.au)
•Under-insured houses (Data from Spatial Urban Data Observatory (SUDO) – https://sudo.eresearch.unimelb.edu.au)
•Population statistics and the indigenous population (2021 Census, data from SUDO)
•Hospital admissions (data from Australian Institute of Health and Welfare – www.aihw.gov.au)
•Rare and threatened species (data from Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (formerly DELWP) – www.deeca.vic.gov.au)
•Historic fires including bushfires and prescribed burns (Data from Geoscience Australia – www.ga.gov.au)
•Fuel load data (Australia's Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network – www.tern.org.au)
•Satellite and raster data including data from the Sentinel-2 satellite.

The platform also offers an API that provides programmatic access to the data, e.g. through Jupyter notebooks. We present a range of examples of analytics around the data.

description: We report the discovery of the ultracompact hot subdwarf (sdOB) binary OW J074106.0-294811.0 with an orbital period of P$_{\rm orb}=44.66279\pm1.16\times10^{-4}$ min, making it the most compact hot subdwarf binary known. Spectroscopic observations using the VLT, Gemini and Keck telescopes revealed a He-sdOB primary with an intermediate helium abundance, T$_{\rm eff}=39 400\pm500$ K and log(g)=$5.74\pm0.09$. High signal-to-noise ratio lightcurves show strong ellipsoidal modulation resulting in a derived sdOB mass $M_{\rm sdOB}=0.23\pm0.12$ M$_\odot$ with a WD companion ($M_{\rm WD}=0.72\pm0.17$ M$_\odot$). The mass ratio was found to be $q = M_{\rm sdOB}/M_{\rm WD}=0.32\pm0.10$. The derived mass for the He-sdOB is inconsistent with the canonical mass for hot sbudwarfs of $\approx0.47$ M$_\odot$. To put constraints on the structure and evolutionary history of the sdOB star we compared the derived T$_{\rm eff}$, log(g) and sdOB mass to evolutionary tracks of helium stars and helium white dwarfs calculated with Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics (MESA). We find that the best fitting model is a helium white dwarf with a mass of $0.320$ M$_\odot$, which left the common envelope ${\approx}1.1$ Myr ago, is consistent with the observations. As a helium white dwarf with a massive white dwarf companion the object will reach contact in 17.6 Myr at an orbital period of 5 min. Depending on the spin-orbit synchronization timescale the object will either merge to form an R CrB star or end up as a stably accreting AM CVn-type system with a helium white dwarf donor.

description: The goal of Machine Learning to automatically learn from data, extract knowledge and to make decisions without any human intervention. Such automatic (aML) approaches show impressive success. Recent results even demonstrate intriguingly that deep learning applied for automatic classification of skin lesions is on par with the performance of dermatologists, yet outperforms the average. As human perception is inherently limited, such approaches can discover patterns, e.g. that two objects are similar, in arbitrarily high-dimensional spaces what no human is able to do. Humans can deal only with limited amounts of data, whilst big data is beneficial for aML; however, in health informatics, we are often confronted with a small number of data sets, where aML suffer of insufficient training samples and many problems are computationally hard. Here, interactive machine learning (iML) may be of help, where a human-in-the-loop contributes to reduce the complexity of NP-hard problems. A further motivation for iML is that standard black-box approaches lack transparency, hence do not foster trust and acceptance of ML among end-users. Rising legal and privacy aspects, e.g. with the new European General Data Protection Regulations, make black-box approaches difficult to use, because they often are not able to explain why a decision has been made. In this paper, we present some experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the human-in-the-loop approach, particularly in opening the black-box to a glass-box and thus enabling a human directly to interact with an learning algorithm. We selected the Ant Colony Optimization framework, and applied it on the Traveling Salesman Problem, which is a good example, due to its relevance for health informatics, e.g. for the study of protein folding. From studies of how humans extract so much from so little data, fundamental ML-research also may benefit.

description: During the second half of the 16th century and the first decades of the 17th century the notary College of Cremona, sustained by state auctorities, operated to guarantee a sure preservation of the notarial records: the College founded so a notarial public archive and order to notaries and other people to comunicate if they had notarial acts by themselves. The notarial archive was regulated by clearly defined rules; at the half of the 17th century the head archivist Francesco Bresciani wrote a precise inventory, updated by another one during the second half of the 18th century. Thanks to these declarations and inventories we can follow the ways of trasmission of notarial records and the processes for their preservation before the establishment, during Napoleonic age, of the General Notarial Archive.

description: Previous attempts at segmenting molecular line maps of molecular clouds have focused on using position-position-velocity data cubes of a single line to separate the spatial components of the cloud. In contrast, wide field spectral imaging with large spectral bandwidth in the (sub)mm domain now allows to combine multiple molecular tracers to understand the different physical and chemical phases that constitute giant molecular clouds. We aim at using multiple tracers (sensitive to different physical processes) to segment a molecular cloud into physically/chemically similar regions (rather than spatially connected components). We use a machine learning clustering method (the Meanshift algorithm) to cluster pixels with similar molecular emission, ignoring spatial information. Simple radiative transfer models are used to interpret the astrophysical information uncovered by the clustering. A clustering analysis based only on the J=1-0 lines of 12CO, 13CO and C18O reveals distinct density/column density regimes (nH~100, 500, and >1000 cm-3), closely related to the usual definitions of diffuse, translucent and high-column-density regions. Adding two UV-sensitive tracers, the (1-0) lines of HCO+ and CN, allows us to distinguish two clearly distinct chemical regimes, characteristic of UV-illuminated and UV-shielded gas. The UV-illuminated regime shows overbright HCO+ and CN emission, which we relate to photochemical enrichment. We also find a tail of high CN/HCO+ intensity ratio in UV-illuminated regions. Finer distinctions in density classes (nH~7E3, and 4E4 cm-3) for the densest regions are also identified, likely related to the higher critical density of the CN and HCO+ (1-0) lines. The association of simultaneous multi-line, wide-field mapping and powerful machine learning methods such as the Meanshift algorithm reveals how to decode the complex information available in molecular tracers.

description: We report a theoretical investigation on spin-Hall conductance fluctuation of disordered four terminal devices in the presence of Rashba or/and Dresselhaus spin-orbital interactions in two dimensions. As a function of disorder, the spin-Hall conductance $G_{sH}$ shows ballistic, diffusive and insulating transport regimes. For given spin-orbit interactions, a universal spin-Hall conductance fluctuation (USCF) is found in the diffusive regime. The value of the USCF depends on the spin-orbit coupling $t_{so}$, but is independent of other system parameters. It is also independent of whether Rashba or Dresselhaus or both spin-orbital interactions are present. When $t_{so}$ is comparable to the hopping energy $t$, the USCF is a universal number $\sim 0.18 e/4π$. The distribution of $G_{sH}$ crosses over from a Gaussian distribution in the metallic regime to a non-Gaussian distribution in the insulating regime as the disorder strength is increased.

description: We compare and synthesize the results of two microrheological experiments on the cytoskeleton of single cells. In the first one, the creep function J(t) of a cell stretched between two glass plates is measured after applying a constant force step. In the second one, a micrometric bead specifically bound to transmembrane receptors is driven by an oscillating optical trap, and the viscoelastic coefficient $G_e(ω)$ is retrieved. Both $J(t)$ and $G_e(ω)$ exhibit power law behavior: $J(t)= A(t/t_0)^α$ and $\bar G_e(ω)\bar = G_0 (ω/ω_0)^α$, with the same exponent $α\approx 0.2$. This power law behavior is very robust ; $α$ is distributed over a narrow range, and shows almost no dependance on the cell type, on the nature of the protein complex which transmits the mechanical stress, nor on the typical length scale of the experiment. On the contrary, the prefactors $A_0$ and $G_0$appear very sensitive to these parameters. Whereas the exponents $α$ are normally distributed over the cell population, the prefactors $A_0$ and $G_0$ follow a log-normal repartition. These results are compared with other data published in the litterature. We propose a global interpretation, based on a semi-phenomenological model, which involves a broad distribution of relaxation times in the system. The model predicts the power law behavior and the statistical repartition of the mechanical parameters, as experimentally observed for the cells. Moreover, it leads to an estimate of the largest response time in the cytoskeletal network: $τ_m \approx 1000$ s.

description: Progress of cooperatives franchising farm machinery was evaluated, noting growth in sales, service, and net margins from 1970 to 1980. Cooperative dealer performance was measured by comparing machinery sales, operating margins, total expenses, and net margins with those of noncooperative farm machinery dealers of similar operation and sales volume. Cooperative dealers’ operating problems were evaluated for 1980, compared with those of 1970. Case studies of failed operations were made to determine the general causes.

description: As post-hoc analyses show, interactive marketing in the new media age has served as a fragmented technique for transitioning from traditional modes of operation to dynamic and customized environments that blur the lines between brands and consumers. Several research papers have been published on interactive marketing, the impact of social media engagement, and brand loyalty. However, they remain fragmented because most produce different results based on different samples at various stages of business development. Nonetheless, there are no systematic reviews that combine all these findings into a comprehensive framework. However, many interactive marketing studies focus on short-term outcomes and do not take into account long-term effects such as brand equity and customer lifetime value. Select articles were understudied with the requirement of a rigorous review process, which includes a thorough examination of the relevant literature. The implementation of this process is expected to result in the absence of a room for subjective judgment, as all participants were carefully evaluated using predetermined criteria. It was determined that the use of these technologies allows brands to interact with their customers in novel and creative ways, resulting in more engaging and dynamic experiences. That is, evaluating the effectiveness of marketing initiatives is critical to understanding their impact.

description: We present a class of one-dimensional, strictly neutral, Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium distribution functions for force-free current sheets, with magnetic fields defined in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions, extending the results of Abraham-Shrauner (Phys. Plasmas 20, 102117, 2013) to allow for non-uniform density and temperature profiles. To achieve this, we use an approach previously applied to the force-free Harris sheet by Kolotkov et al. (Phys. Plasmas 22, 112902, 2015). In one limit of the parameters, we recover the model of Kolotkov et al., while another limit gives a linear force-free field. We discuss conditions on the parameters such that the distribution functions are always positive, and give expressions for the pressure, density, temperature and bulk-flow velocities of the equilibrium, discussing differences from previous models. We also present some illustrative plots of the distribution function in velocity space.

description: We improve upon the radiative, hydrostatic equilibrium models of passive circumstellar disks constructed by Chiang & Goldreich (1997). New features include (1) account for a range of particle sizes, (2) employment of laboratory-based optical constants of representative grain materials, and (3) numerical solution of the equations of radiative and hydrostatic equilibrium within the original 2-layer (disk surface + disk interior) approximation. We explore how the spectral energy distribution (SED) of a face-on disk depends on grain size distributions, disk geometries and surface densities, and stellar photospheric temperatures. Observed SEDs of 3 Herbig Ae and 2 T Tauri stars, including spectra from the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), are fitted with our models. Silicate emission bands from optically thin, superheated disk surface layers appear in nearly all systems. Water ice emission bands appear in LWS spectra of 2 of the coolest stars. Infrared excesses in several sources are consistent with vertical settling of photospheric grains. While this work furnishes further evidence that passive reprocessing of starlight by flared disks adequately explains the origin of infrared-to-millimeter wavelength excesses of young stars, we emphasize how the SED alone does not provide sufficient information to constrain particle sizes and disk masses uniquely.

air quality

description: In recent years, air pollution has gained attention and is an increasing problem as more people live in cities that are ever-increasing in size. This is certainly the case in Australia with increasing populations living in major urban settlements giving rise to many challenges. Air pollution is one challenge that impacts almost all aspects of society: transport, health, climate, economy, infrastructure and planning. However, the national aggregation of real-time, definitive air pollution data sets from major State-based organisations tasked with monitoring air quality has hitherto not been realised. Several agencies now however provide programmatic APIs through which such data can be accessed and used. In this talk we present a National Air Quality Database (NAQD) that supports direct programmatic access to and integration of such data to establish a national air quality database for Australia. We explore the use of the NAQD in a case study associated with the devastating bushfires that took place in Victoria and New South Wales (in 2019/2020). We show how the air quality as recorded by the official monitoring stations around the south east of Australia changed over time.

Such official data sources are static however do not record pollution in all locations, e.g. inner cities or at major road junctions. We also describe how the NAQD can be used for real time route planning to minimise exposure to higher levels of air pollution. We present a case study focused on Melbourne and the use of mobile air quality devices based around the Airbeam technology.

description: Introducción: El dolor crónico es un serio problema de Salud Pública que requiere un abordaje que considere, además de medicamentos, otros muchos factores incluidos en el modelo Bio-Psico-Social del dolor. Las nuevas tecnologías, como las aplicaciones móviles, son una herramienta para abordar estos factores, aunque en muchos casos no cuentan con la suficiente calidad ni evidencia científica como para recomendar su uso, por lo que es necesario revisar y medir su calidad. Objetivos: Revisar y medir la calidad de las aplicaciones móviles para el manejo del dolor mediante la escala MARS. Material y Método (Metodología): En esta revisión se incluyeron 18 apps de iTunes y Google Play sobre dolor crónico. Se administró el cuestionario MARS (1) para medir su calidad (Desde 1=Mínima calidad hasta 5=Máxima calidad). Se calculan las puntuaciones obtenidas por cada aplicación, tanto global como por secciones de la escala MARS, ordenadas y agrupadas por terciles (mejor valoradas, intermedias, peor valoradas), mediante medias y desviaciones típicas. Resultados: La calidad global varió entre 1.74 (la peor valorada) y 4.35 (la mejor valorada). En conjunto, las 18 apps obtuvieron una puntuación media de 3.17 (DT=0.75). Las secciones mejor valoradas fueron “Funcionalidad” (Media=3.92;DT=0.72), “Estética” (Media=3.3;DT=1.05) y “Entretenimiento” (Media=2.87;DT=1.14), siendo las peores “Impacto de la app en el usuario” (Media=2.48;DT=1), “Información” (Media=2.52;DT=0.82) y “Calidad subjetiva” (Media=2.68;DT=1.22). Conclusiones: Las aplicaciones existentes tienen cierta calidad principalmente en sus aspectos técnicos, aunque fallan a la hora de ofrecer información y suponer un impacto en el usuario, además de que la valoración subjetiva de las mismas es inferior a la calidad objetiva. Por otra parte, muy pocas apps se basan en la evidencia científica, ni han sido probadas con rigor. La principal limitación de este estudio es la volatilidad del mercado de apps, y la posibilidad de haber pasado por alto alguna app sobre dolor que no contenga la palabra dolor ni en su título ni en la descripción.
