Particle Swarm Optimization Based on Local Attractors of Ordinary Differential Equation System by Wenyu Yang, Wei Wu, Yetian Fan, Zhengxue Li

“…The idea of MPSO is to choose the next update state near the present local attractor, rather than the present position point as in the original PSO, according to a given probability density function. In particular, the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization method turns out to be a special case of MPSO by taking a special probability density function. …”

Exploring Two Modified Ali-Mikhail-Haq Copulas and New Bivariate Logistic Distributions by Christophe Chesneau

“…The second copula offers another modeling option; it is exchangeable like the Ali-Mikhail-Haq copula, but it benefits from a broader range of negative dependence correlations and more adaptable tail dependence properties. For the two proposed copulas, we investigate their main characteristics, including quadrant dependence, copula density function, conditional copulas, couples of value generation, extended variants via standard copula schemes, comprehensive copula orders, and weighted harmonic mean copula transformations. …”

Efficacy of Shengxuening tablets combined with erythropoietin in treatment of renal anemia of diabetic kidney disease stage V patients by ZHANG Jian-wei, XU Lu-jun

“…Objective To observe the efficacy of Shengxuening tablets combined with erythropoietin in treatment of renal anemia of diabetic kidney disease stage V patients.Methods Sixty patients with stage-V diabetic kidney disease were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group was given Shengxuening tablets combined with erythropoietin,and the control group given ferrous succinate combined with erythropoietin.The patients were followed up for 3 months.Hemoglobin(Hb),hematocrit(Hct),serum ferritin(SF),and transferrin saturation(TSAT) were detected before and after the treatment The indexes of ALT,SCr and K~+ were detected before and after the treatment Results The efficacy in the treatment group was more satisfactory than the control group.The total effective rate in the control group was 83.3%,and that in the treatment group reached 90%(P<0.05).The indexes of ALT,SCr and K~+ showed no obvious change before and after the treatment(P>0.05).Conclusions The effect of Shengxuening combined with erythropoietin in treating renal anemia of stage-V diabetic nephropathy is evident.Shengxuening combined with erythropoietin can significantly increase hemoglobin(Hb),Hct,serum iron(SF) and transferrin saturation(TAST) levels,improve the iron metabolism and correct the renal anemia,but has no significant impact on liver function,renal function and serum potassium.Shengxuening combined with erythropoietin is safe and effective,and has less adverse reaction.…”
