Objective We examined whether 18 months of strength training in individuals with knee varus alignment and medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) reduced knee joint loads during walking compared to an attention control group. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial that compared the effects of strength training to a ...

Exerting self-control induces a narrow mindset. [PDF]
Self-control theories have focused on various aspects of the processes involved in exerting self-control. In the present paper, we intend to add to this literature by demonstrating that exerting self-control leads one to narrow one's attention and ...

On interacting control loops in self-adaptive systems
Control loops in self-adaptive systems are typically conceived as a sequence of four computations: Monitor-Analyze-Plan-Execute (MAPE). During the development of a traffic monitoring system with support for self-healing, we have noticed that simple MAPE ...

Fuzzy control and its application to a pH process [PDF]
In the chemical industry, the control of pH is a well-known problem that presents difficulties due to the large variations in its process dynamics and the static nonlinearity between pH and concentration. pH control requires the application of advanced

Objective Despite well‐described biologic causes, the public views unhealthy lifestyle choices as the primary cause of gout. This study investigated how causal beliefs about gout influence the public's views about its management. Methods In a randomized study, 201 members of the public viewed one of two 2‐minute videos about gout.

Dynamic Adaptation Gains for Nonlinear Systems With Unmatched Uncertainties
We present a new direct adaptive control approach for nonlinear systems with unmatched and matched uncertainties. The method relies on adjusting the adaptation gains of individual unmatched parameters whose adaptation transients would otherwise ...
