We will assign two investigators to independently search allpotential citations, extracted data, and appraised risk of bias accordingly, and then STATA software version 12.0 will beused to statistically analyze all data.Ethics and dissemination: The ethics approval and patient written informed consent will not be required because allanalyses in the present study will be performed based on data from published studies. We will submit our systematicreview to a peer-reviewed scientific journal for publication.展开更多

The current special issue of'health care and rehabilitation'mainly focuses on the area of traditional medicine therapy to chronic diseases. The following six papers cover three different methods of traditional medicine therapy including drug therapy, non-drug therapy and manipulation therapy.展开更多

However, any breakdown in the OLT bandwidth allocation will affect the allotment for Optical Network Units (ONUs). Few researches had dealt with a decentralized approach for the EPON and most of the solutions proposed involved additional cost by adding new complex devices to the original architecture. This paper proposes an intelligent decentralized mechanism in EPON that enhances the network performance using intelligent agents specification based on the IEEE 802.3 ah standards in the foundation for intelligent physical agent which is compatible with an Internet Protocol (IP)-based network. Specifically, this paper proposes a novel distributed scheme that supports differentiated services and ensures QoS for both Inter-and Intra- ONU allocation. The proposed mechanism introduces a unique direct communication between the ONUs supported by identical dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithms running simultaneously in each ONU. In addition to being fully distributed, the proposed scheme is asynchronous, scalable, and dynamic with flexibility and reliability in handling data, voice and video.展开更多
