Objectives. To investigate associations between muscle strength and pain sensitivity among healthy volunteers and associations between different pain sensitivity measures. Methods. Twenty-eight healthy volunteers (21 females) participated. Pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) were obtained from 1) computer-controlled pressure algometry on the vastus lateralis and deltoid muscles and on the infrapate...

Characteristics of produced concrete become changedthrough changingthe characteristics of materials constituting the concrete. These changes include: The quality of cement, the real ration of water to cement: with neglecting the further water within the aggregates or lack of that, the consideredratio fluctuates and the characteristics of the aggregate which are related to the following dimensio...

symbols are not loaded with intuitive interpretations. While it is true that a ) c is not an "-consequence of , since it is not probabilistically sound, both falsifying models of a ) c, must either falsify a ) b or b ) c; on the other hand, a ) c has a verifying model, a ^ b ^ c, which does not falsify either; this explains why a) c is an ME-consequence of (for any strength assignment). What th...

We report on a user study that provides evidence that spaced repetition and a specific mnemonic technique enable users to successfully recall multiple strong passwords over time. Remote research participants were asked to memorize 4 PersonAction-Object (PAO) stories where they chose a famous person from a drop-down list and were given machine-generated random action-object pairs. Users were als...

Detection elements play a key role in analyte recognition in biosensors. Therefore, detection elements with high analyte specificity and binding strength are required. While antibodies (Abs) have been increasingly used as detection elements in biosensors, a key challenge remains – the immobilization on the biosensor surface. This minireview highlights recent approaches to immobilize and study A...
