Journal Article
Artus, M., Van Der Windt, D., Jordan, K. P., & Croft, P. R. (2014). The clinical course of low back pain: a meta-analysis comparing outcomes in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) and observational studies. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 15, Article 68. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-15-68

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that the course of low back pain (LBP) symptoms in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) follows a pattern of large improvement regardless of the type of treatment. A similar pattern was independently observed in observation...

LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 are isomorphous and Nb and Ta have the same valence electron configuration and the same ionic radii. This suggests the use of Ta as a tracer to probe the self-diffusion of Nb in LiNbO3. The diffusion system consisted of a 20 nm laye...

The temporal decay of mass accretion in young stars is a fundamental tracer of the early evolution of circumstellar discs. Through population syntheses, we study how correlated uncertainties between the estimated parameters of young stars (luminosity...
