background: humans have been involved with the phenomena of pain and pain relief from the ancient times. back pain is the most common pain. in fact, eight out of ten people experience it in their lifetime. however, individuals with specific jobs, including nurses, are faced with this problem more. nursing is in the top ten careers suffering from the most severe musculoskeletal injuries. there a...

background: to determine the prevalence and patterns of complementary and alternative medicine (cam) use in urban population in isfahan. methods: in a cross–sectional study through two-stage sampling methods, 870 individuals were selected from isfahan province, center of iran. we selected 20 clusters randomly and chose one household from each cluster by chance then 24 households were included...

abstract background: children suffering from cancer frequently use complementary and alternative medicine (cam). most of people do not disclose using cam to their physicians as they fear to be blamed or prohibited using them. some of these products may interfere with the conventional remedies. the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and characteristics of cam use in pediatric onc...

background : using complementary and alternative medicine (cam) has been increased worldwide during last years and women are the greatest users of these methods especially in the pregnancy period. due to lack of adequate information, this study aimed to assess the status of using complementary and alternative medicine by women in the pregnancy period methods: in this cross-sectional study, 599 ...

We propose a novel decoding approach for neural machine translation (NMT) based on continuous optimisation. We reformulate decoding, a discrete optimization problem, into a continuous problem, such that optimization can make use of efficient gradient-based techniques. Our powerful decoding framework allows for more accurate decoding for standard neural machine translation models, as well as ena...

Bodyweight supported treadmill training has become a prominent gait rehabilitation method in leading rehabilitation centers. This type of locomotor training has many functional benefits but the labor costs are considerable. To reduce therapist effort, several groups have developed large robotic devices for assisting treadmill stepping. A complementary approach that has not been adequately explo...

At modern electron accelerators with highly polarized, intense, high duty factor beams double polarization coincidence experiments became feasible with good statistical accuracy. The strong potential towards the precise determination of small nucleon structure quantities is illustrated by two recent examples from MAMI. The measurement of GE in the quasifree reaction D(~e, e′~n)p lead to a new p...
