Kravchenko probabilityweight functions in problems of radar signals correlation processing

In this report the combined method of correlation radar signal(RS)processing based on the theory of atomic functions(AF)is examined.Examples of using of new Kravchenko probability weight functions(WF)designs are presented.Quality functional to estimate accuracy and efficiency of RS processing for concrete physical models is constructed.It is shown that the proposed approach significantly improves the quality of the coherent analysis of RS.

An Investigation on Generalized Eulerian Polynomials and Fractions

This note establishes a pair of exponential generating functions for generalized Eulerian polynomials and Eulerian fractions, respectively. A kind of recurrence relation is obtained for the Eulerian fractions. Finally, a short proof of a certain summarion formula is given

Important clinical features of atypical antipsychotics in acute bipolar depression that inform routine clinical care: a review of pivotal studies with number needed to treat

English-language literature cited in MEDLINE from January,1980 to October 30,2014 was searched by using terms of antipsychotic,generic and brand names of atypical antipsychotics, ＂bipolar depression/bipolar disorder＂, ＂placebo＂,and ＂trial＂.The parameters of response（≥50%improvement on MADRS,Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale total score）,remission（either ≤12 or 8 on MADRS total score at endpoint）,discontinuation due to adverse events（DAEs）,somnolence,≥7%weight gain,overall extrapyramidal side-effects（EPSs）,and akathisia,were extracted from originally published primary outcome papers.The number needed to treat to benefit（NNT） for response and remission or harm（NNH） for DAEs or other side effects relative to placebo were estimated and presented with the estimate and 95%confidence interval.Olanzapine monotherapy,olanzapine-fluoxetine combination（OFC）,quetiapine-IR monotherapy,quetiapine-XR monotherapy,lurasidone monotherapy,and lurasidone adjunctive therapy were superior to placebo with NNTs for responses of 11-12,4,7-8,4,4-5,and 7,and NNTs for remission of 11-12,4,5-11,7,6-7,and 6,respectively.There was no significant difference between OFC and lamotrigine,and between aripiprazole or ziprasidone and placebo in response and remission.Olanzapine monotherapy,quetiapine-IR,quetiapine-XR,aripiprazole,and ziprasidone 120-160 mg/day had significantly increased risk for DAEs with NNHs of 24,8-14,9,12,and 10,respectively.For somnolence,quetiapine-XR had the smallest NNH of 4.For ≥7%weight gain,olanzapine monotherapy and OFC had the smallest NNHs with both of 5.For akathisia,aripiprazole had the smallest NNH of 5.These findings suggest that among the FDA-approved agents including OFC,quetiapine-IR and-XR,lurasidone monotherapy and adjunctive therapy to a mood stabilizer,the differences in the NNTs for response and remission are small,but the differences in NNHs for DAEs and common side-effects are large.Therefore,the selection of an FDA-approved atypical antipsychotic for bipolar depression should be based upon safety and tolerability.

The Column Summation Contrary Method of Calculation Interval Number Weights

In the uncertain type and group of AHP, the element of judgement matrix can be an interval number. This paper expands the Column Summation Contrary Method (i. e. CSCM) of general AHP, gives the CSCM of calculation interval number weights, discusses the property of rank preservation, illustrates that CSCM is more reasonable and convenient from theory to reality.
