Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.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 ...

Absence of Phase Stiffness in the Quantum Rotor Phase Glass
, 2003 We analyze here the consequence of local rotational-symmetry breaking in the quantum spin (or phase) glass state of the quantum random rotor model. By coupling the spin glass order parameter directly to a vector potential, we are able to compute whether ...

Are better conducting molecules more rigid?
, 2006 We investigate the electronic origin of the bending stiffness of conducting molecules. It is found that the bending stiffness associated with electronic motion, which we refer to as electro-stiffness, $\kappa_{e}$, is governed by the molecular orbital ...
