It is time to put special tests for rotator cuff-related shoulder pain out to pasture
(
Movement Science Media
, 2020 , Article)
Abstract
Synopsis
“Special tests” for rotator cuff–related shoulder pain (RCRSP) have passed their sell-by date. In this Viewpoint, we outline fundamental flaws in the validity of these tests and their proposed ability ...
An experimental study on achieving even-frosting for an air source heat pump using a novel dual-fan outdoor coil
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Many related studies suggested that a fixed airflow direction usually led to that the most frost would only deposit on the windward side of finned tube heat exchangers (FTHXs) of the traditional single fan outdoor coils ...
Developing condensing-frosting performance maps for a variable speed air source heat pump (ASHP) for frosting suppression
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
For a space heating ASHP unit, frosting on its outdoor coil would adversely impact its normal operation, requiring frequent defrosting and resulting in low operating efficiency and poor indoor thermal comfort. It has been ...
Impact of missing outcome data in meta-analyses of lifestyle interventions during pregnancy to reduce postpartum weight retention: An overview of systematic reviews with meta-analyses and additional sensitivity analyses
(
John Wiley and Sons Inc
, 2021 , Article)
High risk of bias associated with missing outcome data (MOD) in meta-analyses (MAs) of the effects of lifestyle interventions during pregnancy on postpartum weight retention (PPWR) casts doubt on whether such interventions ...
A predictive control strategy for electrochromic glazing to balance the visual and thermal environmental requirements: Approach and energy-saving potential assessment
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Electrochromic (EC) glazing provides a promising solution to actively adjusting the sunlight and radiant heat through windows in response to building visual and thermal environmental requirements, and control strategies ...
Development of a variable water temperature control method for air source heat pump based on the supply–demand balance
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Air source heat pump (ASHP) is one of renewable energy technologies, and has been widely used for space heating. In practice applications, the setting value of its supply water temperature is long-term fixed, resulting in ...
Performance analysis of air source heat pump space heating system with an adaptive control for supply water temperature
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Air source heat pumps (ASHPs) have been widely used for heating in buildings. While in practice, the setting value of its supply water temperature is always far higher than the theoretical value owing to the delayed ...
Frosting mechanism and behaviors on surfaces with simple geometries: A state-of-the-art literature review
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Frosting causes negative impacts in many technical and engineering fields, such as refrigeration, air source heat pump, aircraft, wind power generation, and power grids. To alleviate the negative impacts of frosting, studies ...
International physical therapists consensus on clinical descriptors for diagnosing rotator cuff related shoulder pain: A Delphi study
(
Revista Brasileira de Fisioterapia
, 2022 , Article)
Background: There is a lack of standardized criteria for diagnosing rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP). Objective: To identify the most relevant clinical descriptors for diagnosing RCRSP. Methods: A Delphi study ...
Antimicrobial Resistance of Commensal Escherichia coli Isolated from Food Animals in Qatar
(
Mary Ann Liebert
, 2020 , Article)
This study aims at evaluating the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of 18 clinically relevant antibiotics in food animals in Qatar. Fecal samples from camels, cattle, and pigeons (300) were ...
