Objectives: An acute bout of exercise typically leads to short term exercise induced hypoalgesia (EIH), but this response is more variable in many chronic pain populations, including knee osteoarthritis (OA) and fibromyalgia (FM).There is evidence of autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction in some chronic pain populations that may contribute to

Performance in cognitive control tasks deteriorates when these tasks are performed together with other tasks that also require cognitive control, that is, if simultaneous cognitive control is required.Surprisingly, this decrease in performance is also observed if tasks are preceded by other cognitive control tasks, that is, if sequential cognitive

In view of the problem that Bloch Quantum Genetic Algorithm (BQGA) is easy to fall into local optimum, an improved BQGA is proposed.The algorithm can control the step size and the mutation probability in real time in the iterative process, avoiding over the optimal solution and guaranteeing search efficiency.In addition, the improved algorithm furt

Abstract We study particle theories that have a tower of worldline internal degrees of freedom.Such here a theory can arise when the worldsheet of closed strings is dimensionally reduced to a worldline, in which case the tower is infinite with regularly spaced masses.But our discussion is significantly more general than this, and there is scope to
