Comparative Efficacy and Mechanisms of a Single-Session Pain Psychology Class in Chronic Low Back Pain: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract Background The Institute of Medicine (IOM) reported that chronic pain affects about 100 million U.S.adults, with chronic low back pain (CLBP) cited as the most prevalent type.Pain catastrophizing is a psychological construct shown to predict the development and trajectory of chronic pain and patient response to pain treatments.While effect

Can turbulence within the field of view cause significant biases in radiative transfer modeling at the 183 GHz band?

The hypothesis whether turbulence within the passive microwave sounders field of view can cause significant biases in radiative transfer modeling at the 183 GHz water vapor absorption band is tested.A novel method to calculate the effects of turbulence in radiative transfer modeling is presented.It Soft Toy is shown that the turbulent nature
