Health Status Measurement Instruments in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease by Yves Lacasse, Eric Wong, Gordon Guyatt, Roger S Goldstein

“…Because the primary goals of managing patients with COPD include relief of dyspnea and the improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQL), a direct measurement of HRQL is important. Fourteen disease-specific and nine generic questionnaires (four health profiles and five utility measures) most commonly used to measure health status in patients with COPD were reviewed. …”

Method of overall resource efficiency measure of MIMO wireless communications by Jin-zhu LIU, Lian-feng SHEN

“…A general mode of overall resource efficiency measure of communication systems is proposed.Based on it,the specific method of overall resource efficiency measure of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) wireless communica-tion systems is presented.The theory analysis and practice measure results show that although the requirements of the normalized bandwidth and the normalized signal noise ratio (SNR) of MIMO systems are relatively small due to the utilization of the space resource,but the overall resource efficiencies of the existing MIMO systems are low,and the gaps between their performances and their potential capacities are large,when compared to that of the existing communication systems under the basic additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.…”
