Abstract

COSMO (COSmic Monopole Observer) is an experiment aimed at the searching for spectral distortions in the CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) between 120 and 300 GHz. COSMO will be operated from Concordia Station on the Antarctic plateau. The experiment is based on a cryogenic Martin-Puplett interferometer whose superconductive detectors are KIDs (Kinetic Inductance Detectors). The interferometer produces interferograms proportional to the difference between the sky and an internal reference black body. The sky signal has a fast modulation to compensate for the atmospheric fluctuations. A key requirement of the readout is an ultra-fast rate to track the signal modulation and also for detector diagnostic. The readout architecture is based on an IQ transceiver generating a comb of test tones tuned to each detector. We developed a modular readout based on commercial components for reliability and fast prototyping. We were able to reach and sustain a readout rate higher than 60 kHz for 18 detectors. In this contribution a general description of the architecture, together with the main performances in terms of amplitude and phase noise are given.

Abstract

Background Given the limited alleviation of chronic pain with pharmacological treatments, various nonpharmacological and self-care approaches are often proposed that require patients’ motivation. Objective To evaluate the level of readiness (LOR) to practise different types of active self-care among chronic pain patients. Method A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among all chronic pain patients seeking care at the Pain Center of an academic hospital from June 2013 to March 2015. Sociodemographic data, pain characteristics, treatments and the LOR to practise active self-care were investigated. Results Among the 1524 eligible patients, 639 (41.9%) were included. The median pain duration was 8.5 years (interquartile range = 7.5). Two-thirds (63.7%) of the patients reported high pain-related disability, and 64.6% had used opioids during the previous six months. Most patients had a high (44.1%) or moderate (24.6%) LOR to practise active self-care. Multivariable multinomial regression analysis showed that independent factors associated with a high LOR were a higher level of education (relative risk ratio (RRR) = 3.42, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.90–6.13, p < 0.001), unemployed status due to medical condition (RRR = 2.92, 95% CI: 1.30–6.56, p = 0.009), the use of dietary supplements ‘against pain’ (RRR = 2.77, 95% CI: 1.52–5.04, p = 0.001) and neuropathic pain characteristics (RRR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.40–3.12, p = 0.036). Older age was a factor predicting a lower LOR (RRR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94–0.99, p = 0.039). Long-term chronic pain, severe pain-related disability and the presence of a mood disorder were not associated with a lower LOR. Conclusion Most chronic pain patients, including those severely affected, indicated their readiness to practise active self-care methods. Significance Most chronic pain patients, even those severely affected, appeared to be ready to practise active self-care therapies and we believe that further studies are needed to inves
