Background: It is well documented that comorbid post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in chronic pain is associated with a more severe symptom profile with respect to pain, disability and psychological distress. However, very few intervention studies exist targeting both PTSD and pain. The current study is the first randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of the body-oriented trauma a...

The interaction between the microtubule associated protein, tau and the microtubules is investigated. A fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay was used to determine the distance separating tau to the microtubule wall, as well as the binding parameters of the interaction. By using microtubules stabilized with Flutax-2 as donor and tau labeled with rhodamine as acceptor, a donor-to-a...

One of the main advantages of the Gantry-Tau machine is a large accessible workspace/footprint ratio compared to many other parallel machines. The Gantry-Tau improves this ration further by allowing a change of assembly mode without internal link collisions or collisions between the links and end-effector. The reconfigurable Gantry-Tau kinematic design obtained by multi-objective optimisation a...

Let $X$ be a Banach space of $dim X > 2$ and $B(X)$ be the space of bounded linear operators on X. If $L : B(X)to B(X)$ be a Lie higher derivation on $B(X)$, then there exists an additive higher derivation $D$ and a linear map $tau : B(X)to FI$ vanishing at commutators $[A, B]$ for all $A, Bin B(X)$ such that $L = D + tau$.

Tau protein is the primary constituent of protein aggregates known as neurofibrillary tangles, a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies suggest that tau protein may play a contributing role in neurodegenerative diseases such as AD. Thus characterizing the structural properties of tau is critical to understanding disease pathogenesis. However, obtaining a detailed st...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of a psychosocial skills training (PSST) approach applied to chronic out-patients with schizophrenia was examined. We hypothesized that the PSST programme, which included treatment as usual (TAU), PSST and family therapy (FT), would reduce positive and negative symptoms, prevent relapse and rehospitalization, and improve psychosocial functioning (PSF), global functi...

We analyze and compare the computational complexity of different simulation strategies for Monte Carlo in the setting of classically scaled population processes. This setting includes stochastically modeled biochemical systems. We consider the task of approximating the expected value of some function of the state of the system at a fixed time point. We study the use of standard Monte Carlo when...
