We conducted a multicentre, randomized controlled trial with blinded outcome assessment. The treatment period was 6 weeks with follow-up assessment immediately thereafter and after 6 months. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of a craniocervical training programme combined with physiotherapy for tension-type headache. Eighty-one participants meeting the diagnostic criteria for ten...

Previous research indicates that pilots of most jet-fighter aircraft attend to similar elements of the natural flight environment when flying at low altitudes. However, some evidence suggests that differences may exist for pilots of certain specific types of aircraft. The present experiment examined the influence of operational factors on the perceived structure of real-world scenes viewed duri...

in this paper a comprehensive approach is presented to improve power swings damping based on direct lyapunov method. the approach combines superconducting magnetic energy storage (smes) system with static synchronous compensator (statcom). considering the energy absorption/injection ability of smes, in transient states the combination exchanges both active and reactive powers with power system....

We examined the utility of frame-of-reference (FOR) training and behavioral observation training (BOT) for enhancing rating accuracy in a field study involving Canadian military personnel. Participants were randomly assigned to either (a) FOR training, (b) FOR training + BOT, or (c) control training. Participants were assessed on a variety of training program evaluation criteria, including rati...

We consider the problem of learning transformations of acoustic feature vectors for phonetic frame classification, in a multi-view setting where articulatory measurements are available at training time but not at test time. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) has previously been used to learn linear transformations of the acoustic features that are maximally correlated with articulatory measur...

Effective clinical text processing requires accurate extraction and representation of temporal expressions. Multiple temporal information extraction models were developed but a similar need for extracting temporal expressions in eligibility criteria (e.g., for eligibility determination) remains. We identified the temporal knowledge representation requirements of eligibility criteria by reviewin...

This document presents the bakeoff results of Chinese personal name in the First CIPS-SIGHAN Joint Conference on Chinese Language Processing. The authors introduce the frame of person disambiguation system LJPD, which uses a new person model. LJPD was built in short time, and it is not given enough training and adjustment. Evaluation on LJPD shows that the precision is competitive, but the reca...

On-court instruction involving either Perception–action training or Perception-only training was used to improve anticipation skill in novice tennis players. A technical instruction group acted as a control. Participants’ ability to anticipate an opponent’s serve was assessed preand posttest using established on-court measures involving frame-by-frame video analysis. The perception–action and p...
