there are evidences that statins have anti-inflammatory effects beyond their cholesterol lowering properties. the study was conducted to assess the effects of atorvastatin on asthma as an inflammatory disease. patients with moderate to severe asthma were entered this randomized, double blind, crossover clinical trial. the impact of oral atorvastatin (10 mg/day) on the lung function of normolipi...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the characteristics of the design, analysis, and reporting of crossover trials for inclusion in a meta-analysis of treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma and to provide empirical evidence to inform the development of tools to assess the validity of the results from crossover trials and reporting guidelines. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane's CENTRAL r...

This paper presents an improved multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (IMOEA) for the design of planar steel frames. By considering constraints as a new objective function, single objective optimization problems turned to multi objective optimization problems. To increase efficiency of IMOEA different Crossover and Mutation are employed. Also to avoid local optima dynamic interference of mutat...

In this article, a new approach for the efficient design of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) circuits is introduced. The main advantages of the proposed idea are the reduced number of QCA cells as well as increased speed, reduced power dissipation and improved cell area. In many cases, one needs to double the effect of a particular inter median signal. State-of-the-art designs utilize a kind...
