Published: July 2019

A Lévy walk of order β is studied on an interval of length L, driven out of equilibrium by different-density boundary baths. The anomalous current generated under these settings is nonlocally related to the density profile through an integral equation. While the asymptotic solution to this equation is known, its finite-L corrections remain unstudied despite their importance in the study of anomalous transport. Here a perturbative method for computing such corrections is presented and explicitly demonstrated for the leading correction to the asymptotic transport of a Lévy walk of order β=5/3, which represents a broad universal class of anomalous transport models. Surprisingly, many other physical problems are described by similar integral equations, to which the method introduced here can be directly applied.

Studying how we explore the world in search of novelties is key to understand the mechanisms that can lead to new discoveries. Previous studies analyzed novelties in various exploration processes, defining them as the first appearance of an element. However, novelties can also be generated by combining what is already known.

Background: Menisci, one of the most important anatomical structures of the knee joint, plays a role in load transfer, stability, shock absorption, prevention of articular cartilage degeneration, and proprioception. Type I collagen, the main component of the meniscus, and type II collagen fibers play an important role in the stability of the knee joint. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Naturagen® 4 Joint product containing type I, II, and III collagen on pain, quality of life, and physical functions in patients with meniscopathy.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of home-based exercise interventions on walking performance in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC).

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data Sources: We searched the Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases to identify randomised controlled trials of patients with PAD and IC published in English up to August 2024.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, though it may be prevented by increasing physical activity (PA). When behaviour change techniques (BCTs) are bundled together, they increase PA, though which individual BCTs increase PA (and the behavioural mechanism of action (MoA) responsible for said increase) have not been studied. The aim of this study is to conduct a randomised factorial experiment to determine which of four BCTs significantly engage the proposed MoA-self-efficacy for PA-in adults at risk for CVD.
