Abstract Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, with up to 25% of cases become chronic (cLBP).Whilst multi-factorial, the relative importance of contributors to cLBP remains unclear.We leveraged a comprehensive multi-dimensional data-set and machine learning-based variable importance selection to identify the most effective
Some research on new technologies for music learning carried out in 2005 is reported here.Going beyond the usage of easy self-learning software, these works brought to experimentation of explorative trial-and-error teaching methodologies based on the latest computer music applications.The two reported projects were designed with two different appro
Very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM), 2D Electrical Knife Resistivity Profiling (2D ERP) and Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) methods of geophysics were deployed to map the extent of leachate contamination in near-surface rocks around a popular reclaimed dumpsite in north central Nigeria.Two years after abandon and waste excavation; the du
Blast casting is a high-efficiency technique applied in surface mines for overburden removal and results in stripping cost savings.According to ballistic theory and center-of-mass frame basic movement Ball - Baseballs principles, key factors influencing blast casting effect were analyzed, which include bench height and mining panel width, inclined
