Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective We aimed to test the efficacy of personalized treatment of older veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP) delivered by Aging Back Clinics (ABCs) as compared with usual care (UC). Methods Two hundred ninety‐nine veterans aged 65 to 89 with CLBP from three Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers underwent baseline testing, randomization to ABC ...

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.Objectives Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that can impact multiple organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system (PNS). PNS manifestations, which can exist concurrently, include mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, and autonomic nervous system neuropathies. To help patients and providers in the decision‐making process, we developed

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.This paper proposes two projector‐based Hopfield neural network (HNN) estimators for online, constrained parameter estimation under time‐varying data, additive disturbances, and slowly drifting physical parameters. The first is a constraint‐aware HNN that enforces linear equalities and inequalities (via slack neurons) and continuously tracks the ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An idea of designing novel sensors is proposed by creating appropriate Schottky barriers and vacancies between isomorphous Core‐CuOii/ Shell‐CuOi secondary microspheres and enhancing catalytic and spill‐over effects, and electronegativity via spontaneous biphasic separation, self‐assembly, and trace‐Ni‐doping.

A regret model applied to the facility location problem with limited capacity facilities [PDF]
, 2013 This article addresses issues related to location and allocation problems. Herein, we intend to demonstrate the influence of congestion, through the random number generation, of such systems in final solutions.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

Two strategies of two-level facility network design for autonomous ground vehicle operations
Production and Manufacturing Research: An Open Access Journal, 2018 We compare two models of two-level facility location problems for network design in autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) operations. The two-level model consists of locations for charging stations (main facilities), as well as for storage locations ...

Optimal algorithms for weighted 1-center problem in deterministic and stochastic tree networks
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2020 This paper deals with two single facility location problems. The first problem is about the deterministic weighted (DW) 1-center of a deterministic tree network (DTN).

OBCHS: AN EFFECTIVE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM WITH OPPOSITIONBASED CHAOS-ENHANCED INITIALIZATION FOR SOLVING UNCAPACITATED FACILITY LOCATION PROBLEMS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2015 In this paper, a continuous harmony search (HS) approach is investigated for tackling the Uncapacitated Facility Location (UFL) task. This article proposes an efficient modified HS-based optimizer to improve the performance of HS on complex spatial ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This study proposes a new methodology for producing metal matrix nanocomposites in the solid state. The process involves the plasma‐assisted thermochemical treatment of metallic alloy powders. As a proof‐of‐concept, TiN nanoparticles are synthesized directly on the surface of FeTi intermetallic powder particles, enabling the development of the ...
