Cannabinoids and Their Role in Chronic Pain Treatment: Current Concepts and a Comprehensive Review by Islam Shehata, Ahmed Hashim, Ahmed Saad Elsaeidy, Anagha Nair, Ivan Urits, Omar Viswanath, Alan D. Kaye, Marian Habib

“…For decades, chronic pain was managed with an almost conventional approach of using a wide range of analgesic spectrum, surgical approaches and complex interventional pain techniques to modulate or even interrupt pain pathways. These different approaches carry many pharmacological hazards together with the lack of efficacy and safety of many interventional and surgical management techniques for chronic pain have mandated searching for other effective therapies including alternative treatments. …”

ReMetCa: A Proposal for Integrating RDBMS and TEI-Verse by Elena González-Blanco, José Luis Rodríguez

“…The use of the TEI Verse module to tag metrical and poetic structures is especially important for two reasons: first, because it lets us tag different kinds of poems with a variable metadata structure, making it possible to express a very high level of detail for poetry description that cannot be registered in a conventional database; and second, as it enables extensibility and adds more information to enrich the conceptual model, which is under constant development.…”

The Sharing of Reference Strategies across Two Languages: The Production and Comprehension of Referring Expressions by Greek-Italian Bilingual Children by Maria Andreou, Jacopo Torregrossa, Christiane Maria Bongartz

“…The results show that reference strategies can be shared between the two languages and, in the bilingual group at stake in this study, this sharing is not modulated by language dominance or proficiency. The study introduces individual variation as one of the factors to consider when dealing with bilingual reference acquisition.…”

De l’accommodation divergente à la « non-accommodation » dans le débat politique Question Time : essai de modélisation by Laurent Rouveyrol

“…Thus, it is argued that non-accommodation is an essentially diaphonic phenomenon as well as a pragmatic one since the journalists handling the debate produce a certain number of such utterances notably in order to manage the thematic modules that Question Time debates are composed of.…”

Orthographic Effects in Word Recognition among Spanish-Speaking Learners of English by María Teresa Martínez-García

“…The results show a clear effect of L1 on L2 learners’ perception and word recognition, partly modulated by the orthographic information seen. These results support models that predict the mapping of L1-L2 phonemes, emphasizing how orthographic information may be an important variable to take into consideration. …”

Intersecting Knowledge Fields and Integrating Data-Driven Computational Design en Route to Performance-Oriented and Intensely Local Architectures by Michael U Hensel, Søren S Sørensen

“…The outlined approach shifts the focus of design attention away from the delivery of finite architectural objects and towards an expanded range of architecture-environment interactions that are registered, instrumentalised and modulated over time. This paper examines ongoing efforts in integrating specific architectural goals and approaches, computational data-driven design methods and generative design processes, based on a range of context-specific and often real-time data sets. …”

The Influence of the Load Type on the Center Frequency Tuning of the Variable-Flux Biaxial Energy Harvester by Karim El-Rayes, Salam Gabran, William Melek

“…In comparison to conventional purely resistive loads, the introduced capacitive load allows control of the total VBH stiffness and, accordingly, modulates the center frequency and eliminates the need for mechanical pretuning of the VBH center frequency.…”
