Estimating trends in the global mean temperature record [PDF]
Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography, 2017 Given uncertainties in physical theory and numerical climate simulations, the historical temperature record is often used as a source of empirical information about climate change.

Preoperative physical activity level has no relationship to the degree of recovery one year after primary total hip or knee arthroplasty: a cohort study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 When it comes to prevalidation, it is assumed that a higher preoperative level of physical activity leads to better postoperative recovery. However current literature is inconclusive about the effect of prevalidation on functional recovery of patients ...

Rehabilitation for torture survivors: Six evidence myths and their implications for future research
Torture, 2022 Whilst it is established that torture survivors suffer from complex, multiple and often severe and enduring physical, psychological, social, welfare and many other difficulties; and that rehabilitation as reparation should be holistic, interdisciplinary

If Physics Is an Information Science, What Is an Observer?
Information, 2012 Interpretations of quantum theory have traditionally assumed a “Galilean” observer, a bare “point of view” implemented physically by a quantum system.

ZKP Protocols for Usowan, Herugolf, and Five Cells
Tsinghua Science and TechnologyA Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) protocol allows a participant to prove the knowledge of some secret without revealing any information about it. While such protocols are typically executed by computers, there exists a line of research proposing physical ...

How we are misinterpreting physical activity intention – behavior relations and what to do about it
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 2019 Background Studies of the physical activity intention-behavior gap, and factors that may moderate the gap (e.g., habit, perceived behavioral control), can inform physical activity promotion efforts.
