Core stability non-specific LBP
No full textContext: Pain and altered motor control are consequences of chronic low back pain. Objectives: The present study investigated the effects of 6-week Swiss ball core stabilization on pain and lumbopelvic motor control in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain (LBP). Design: This is a randomized clinical pilot study. Setting: Laboratory. Participants: Twenty-four patients (12 females) with nonspecific chronic LBP (mean [SD]: age=42.08 [7.05] y) participated. Intervention: Participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control (n=12) groups. The experimental group performed core stability exercises for six weeks, and the control group received routine physical therapy. Main Outcome Measures: Pain and motor control were assessed at baseline, at the end of the intervention, and at follow-up. Results: Core intervention led to a significant increase in motor control in post-test (P<.001, Cohen’s d=6.04) but not in follow-up, and a significant decrease in pain intensity in post-test (P<.001, Cohen’s d=3.31) and follow-up (P<.001, Cohen’s d=2.98). Also, significant differences were observed between the two groups for all outcome measures after the intervention (P<.05). Conclusion: Compared to routine physical therapy, the six-week core stability exercises on Swiss ball resulted in improvements in pain intensity and lumbopelvic motor control in patients with nonspecific chronic LBP

Task-based ad-hoc teamwork with adversary
No full textMany real-world applications require agents to cooperate and collaborate to accomplish shared missions; though, there are many instances where the agents should work together without communication or prior coordination. In the meantime, agents often coordinate in a decentralised manner to complete tasks that are displaced in an environment (e.g., foraging, demining, rescue or fire-fighting). Each agent in the team is responsible for selecting their own task and completing it autonomously. However, there is a possibility of an adversary in the team, who tries to prevent other agents from achieving their goals. In this study, we assume there is an agent who estimates the model of other agents in the team to boost the team's performance regardless of the enemy's attacks. Hence, we present On-line Estimators for Ad-hoc Task Allocation with Adversary (OEATA-A), a novel algorithm to have better estimations of the teammates' future behaviour, which includes identifying enemies among friends

Architecture as a Mediator for Human Perfection: A Search for the Nature of the Relationship between Humans and Architecture Based on Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai’s Philosophy
No full textBackground and objectives: Influenced by the prevailing understanding of architecture, we take the relationship between humans and architecture for granted, but this understanding has also obscured some aspects of this relationship. In this research, we have studied the relationship between humans and architecture based on the philosophy of Seyed Mohammad Hossein Tabatabai. The main question of this research is: ‘What is the relationship between humans and architecture if we look at the world from Tabatabai’s philosophical point of view’. Until now, previous researches have never considered architecture or the relationship between humans and architecture from this point of view and based on these theoretical foundations. The only relevant example is this author’s doctoral dissertation entitled Architectural History as Knowledge, in which Tabatabai’s theoretical apparatus was used to clarify the relationship between architecture and history and to understand what architectural history is.Methods: The research is non-quantitative with its main method and strategy being rational reasoning, based on Tabatabai’s method and philosophical research methodologies. Nevertheless, the thematic analysis method is also used for exploring the theoretical foundations of the research and extracting main concepts from the mentioned philosophical sources and explaining them. We have first clarified the main terms of the discussion, that is, the meaning of ‘human’ and ‘architecture as a human practice’. Then we have introduced a part of Tabatabai’s theoretical system which includes his philosophical worldview and the relationship between humans and their practices. We have then tried to explain the concept of architecture in terms of Tabatabai’s way of looking at the world. Finally, we have described the relationship between humans and architecture from the perspective of Tabatabai philosophy.Results and conclusion: The research shows that in Tabatabai’s worldview, firstly, architecture is among human crafts, one of the possible movements (Harkat) in the world, and secondly, whenever humans engage in architecture, whilst manipulating the world’s materiality, they also change themselves; at the same time establish something in the material world, they also build their own souls and accumulate knowledge, and in this way attain perfection
Geometry, kinematics and fracture pattern of the Bangestan anticline, Zagros, SW Iran
No full textAbstractThrust-related anticlines in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt provide excellent exposed analogue structures for fractured reservoirs located in the more external sectors of the belt. In these structures it is possible to study the fracture network attributes and understand their relationships to the folding process, thus gathering fundamental information for fracture modelling in reservoirs. In this work we analyse the mesoscopic deformation pattern of the NW–SE-trending Bangestan anticline (SW Zagros, Iran) and discuss its relationship to the kinematic evolution of the hosting structure. The deformation pattern mostly includes extensional structures and pressure solution cleavages striking parallel to the fold axial trend (i.e. longitudinal), transversal extensional structures, and N–S- and E–W-striking extensional structures (oriented oblique to the fold axis). With the aid of deep wells and a transversal reflection seismic profile, we constructed a balanced cross-section of the anticline and propose a kinematic evolution pathway constrained by the mesoscopic deformation pattern. Longitudinal and transversal deformation structures developed before and/or in the very early stages of fold growth. During this stage, the Bangestan anticline grew as a set of unconnected décollement anticlines involving the Cambrian to Pliocenic sedimentary cover. In a later stage, inherited basement faults were reactivated with a right-lateral strike-slip component and the previously developed anticlines propagated laterally up to their complete linkage and thrust breakthrough. This produced the right-lateral strike-slip reactivation of longitudinal joints and the development of N–S- and E–W-striking extensional structures, which were also frequently reworked as strike-slip faults.</jats:p
