Dynamic Reconfiguration of a RGBD Sensor Based on QoS and QoC Requirements in Distributed Systems.

The inclusion of embedded sensors into a networked system provides useful information for many applications. A Distributed Control System (DCS) is one of the clearest examples where processing and communications are constrained by the client's requirements and the capacity of the system. An embedded sensor with advanced processing and communications capabilities supplies high level information, abstracting from the data acquisition process and objects recognition mechanisms.

The influence of psychological factors on low back pain-related disability in community dwelling older persons.

Objectives: To assess the influence of fear avoidance beliefs (FAB) and catastrophizing on low back pain (LBP)-related disability in Spanish community dwelling retirees.

Design: Correlation between variables measured with previously validated instruments.

Setting: Majorca, Spain.

A comparison of two short education programs for improving low back pain-related disability in the elderly: a cluster randomized controlled trial.

Study Design: Cluster randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of 2 minimal education programs for improving low back pain (LBP)-related disability in the elderly.

Summary Of Background Data: No education program has shown effectiveness on low back pain (LBP)-related disability in the elderly.
