Effect of Pentoxifylline on Microalbuminuria in Diabetic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial by Shahrzad Shahidi, Marziyeh Hoseinbalam, Bijan Iraj, Mojtaba Akbari

“…In a double-blind placebo-controlled, randomized study we evaluated the influence of pentoxifylline on microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients. 40 diabetic patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of more than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in eight weeks and microalbuminuria were randomized to two groups which will receive pentoxifylline 1200 mg/day or placebo added to regular medications for 6 months. albuminuria; eGFR was evaluated at three- and six-month follow-up period. …”

Uncertain Random Data Envelopment Analysis: Efficiency Estimation of Returns to Scale by Bao Jiang, Shuang Feng, Jinwu Gao, Jian Li

“…Evaluating efficiency according to the different states of returns to scale (RTS) is crucial to resource allocation and scientific decision for decision-making units (DMUs), but this kind of evaluation will become very difficult when the DMUs are in an uncertain random environment. In this paper, we attempt to explore the uncertain random data envelopment analysis approach so as to solve the problem that the inputs and outputs of DMUs are uncertain random variables. …”

Least entropy based randomized strategy for wideband spectrum sensing with cooperation by MAI Lei-xin, QIN Xiao-wei, DAI Xu-chu

“…To study the strategy for wideband spectrum sensing in cognitive radio system,the relation between the accuracy of channel state estimation and entropy was analyzed from the perspective of information entropy.And then a least entropy based randomized strategy（LERS） for wideband spectrum sensing with cooperation was proposed.By fully utilizing priori information and actually sensed results of channel states,the proposed strategy could select sensing channels to minimize total entropy,and the spectrum sensing interval of each channel was automatically regulated.Theoretic analyses and simulation results show that the least entropy based strategy effectively improves the accuracy of channel state estimation and the efficiency of spectrum sensing.…”
