The impact of positive lifestyle behaviors on direct healthcare cost savings for low back pain

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective This study aimed to investigate the relationship between a previously purpose‐developed lifestyle behavior scale and healthcare cost savings related to low back pain (LBP). Methods This longitudinal study utilised data from the AUstralian Twin BACK (AUTBACK) study. LBP and lifestyle behavior measures were collected at baseline.

Quantum critical scaling behavior of deconfined spinons

open access: yes, 2007
We perform a renormalization group analysis of some important effective field theoretic models for deconfined spinons. We show that deconfined spinons are critical for an isotropic SU(N) Heisenberg antiferromagnet, if $N$ is large enough.

A Qualitative Analysis of Patient Perspectives and Preferences in Lupus Management to Guide Lupus Guidelines Development

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective A patient‐centered approach for chronic disease management, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), aligns treatment with patients’ values and preferences, leading to improved outcomes. This paper summarizes how patient experiences, perspectives, and priorities informed the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2024 Lupus Nephritis (LN)

The O(n) loop model on a three-dimensional lattice

open access: yes, 2012
We study a class of loop models, parameterized by a continuously varying loop fugacity n, on the hydrogen-peroxide lattice, which is a three-dimensional cubic lattice of coordination number 3.

Data‐Driven Distributed Safe Control Design for Multi‐Agent Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper presents a data‐driven control barrier function (CBF) technique for ensuring safe control of multi‐agent systems (MASs) with uncertain linear dynamics. A data‐driven quadratic programming (QP) optimization is first developed for CBF‐based safe control of single‐agent systems using a nonlinear controller. This approach is then extended to the

On the width of handles in two-dimensional quantum gravity

open access: yes, 1998
We discuss the average length l of the shortest non-contractible loop on surfaces in the two-dimensional pure quantum gravity ensemble. The value of $\gamma_{str}$ and the explicit form of the loop functions indicate that l diverges at the critical point.

3D In Vitro Models of Breast Cancer: Current Challenges and Future Prospects Toward Recapitulating the Microenvironment and Mimicking Key Processes

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
In vitro cancer models are advantageous for studying important processes such as tumorigenesis, cancer growth, invasion, and metastasis. The complexity and biological relevance increase depending on the model structure, organization, and composition of materials and cells.

Infrared Neural Stimulation Elicits Distinct Molecular Pathways in Astrocytes Based on Laser Pulse Parameters

open access: yesAdvanced Biology, EarlyView.
Infrared (IR) light evokes distinct calcium and water transport responses in astrocytes, depending on stimulation duration and protocol. This study uses widefield imaging and pharmacology to reveal differential engagement of astroglial signaling pathways.
