A Targeted Approach to Evaluating the Golfing Athlete with Low Back Pain: A Resident’s Case Report by Luke Deckard

“… # Outcomes After seven visits over a four-week span, the patient’s mobility and core stability both improved and he was able to play golf and workout pain free. His outcome measures also improved, including the revised Oswestry Disability index from 26% disabled to 10%, the Fear Avoidance Behavior Questionnaire (FABQ) Work from 10/42 to 3/42, and the FABQ Physical Activity from 19/24 to 6/24…”

Goal-directed vocal planning in a songbird by Anja T Zai, Anna E Stepien, Nicolas Giret, Richard HR Hahnloser

“…Can they, based on experienced mismatch with a known target, plan the necessary changes to recover the target in a practice-free manner without intermittently singing? In adult zebra finches, we drive the pitch of a song syllable away from its stable (baseline) variant acquired from a tutor, then we withdraw reinforcement and subsequently deprive them of singing experience by muting or deafening. …”

U-Model and U-Control Methodology for Nonlinear Dynamic Systems by Weicun Zhang, Quanmin Zhu, Saleh Mobayen, Hao Yan, Ji Qiu, Pritesh Narayan

“…In contrast to the classic model-based design and model-free design methodologies, this model-independent design takes two parallel formations: (1) it designs an invariant virtual controller with a specified closed-loop transfer function in a feedback control loop and (2) it determines the real controller output by resolving the inverse of the plant U-model. …”

Optimization of Spiral MRI Using a Perceptual Difference Model by Donglai Huo, Kyle A. Salem, Yuhao Jiang, David L. Wilson

“…With PDM, conditions were determined where equivalent image quality was obtained with 50% sampling in noise-free conditions. We conclude that PDM scoring provides an objective, useful tool for the assessment of fast MR image quality that can greatly aid the design of MR acquisition and signal processing strategies.…”

Design Considerations for Borehole Thermal Energy Storage (BTES): A Review with Emphasis on Convective Heat Transfer by Helge Skarphagen, David Banks, Bjørn S. Frengstad, Harald Gether

“…Storage efficiency may be dramatically reduced in cases where (i) natural groundwater advection through the BTES removes stored heat, (ii) extensive free convection cells (thermosiphons) are allowed to form, and (iii) poor BTES design results in a high surface area/volume ratio of the array shape, allowing high conductive heat losses. …”

Approximate Solutions, Thermal Properties, and Superstatistics Solutions to Schrödinger Equation by Ituen Okon, Clement Onate, Ekwevugbe Omugbe, Uduakobong Okorie, Akaninyene Antia, Michael Onyeaju, Chen Wen-Li, Judith Araujo

“…The resulting energy eigenvalue is presented in a close form and extended to study thermal properties and superstatistics expressed in terms of partition function Z and other thermodynamic properties such as vibrational mean energy U, vibrational specific heat capacity C, vibrational entropy S, and vibrational free energy F. Using the resulting energy equation and with the help of Matlab software, the numerical bound state solutions were obtained for various values of the screening parameter (α) as well as different expectation values via Hellmann-Feynman Theorem (HFT). …”
