? Kealoha, M.K. (2009), What’s new in alternative therapies for asthmatic children? Journal of Community Health Nursing, 26 (4), 198-205.

Abstract: Nurses require current information about popular complementary and alternative medicine for pediatric asthma. This integrative review searched scientific literature in PUBMED and WEB of Science from 2004 to 2009 via key terms: Asthma complementary medicine, nursing complementary pediatric asthma, asthma herbal, and herbal pediatric asthma. Nine journal articles met the inclusion criteria of containing data collection and analysis for biologically based therapies for pediatric asthma. Evidenced-based research on this focus topic is still in its initial stages. Two themes of maximizing the diet and augmenting conventional therapy with Traditional Chinese Medicine may serve as conduits of patient education.

Abstract: In this paper, an economically consistent framework which yields dual measures of technical change is developed. The major advantages of the proposed approach over previous ones are that (i) the restrictive assumption of perfect competition is relaxed, (II) it is no longer necessary to use time to index technology levels, (iii) a parametric specification of the production or cost function is not needed, and (iv) no assumptions on the character of technical progress are required. The conventional assumption of constant returns to scale is, however, retained. Applications of the proposed methodology using Solow’s and Chinese state industry data yield results that broadly conform with expectations. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

Abstract: To measure the economic effects of political movements in China a simple econometric model is constructed. Investment is determined by a central planner maximizing a multiperiod objective function. Political events are modeled by exogenous changes in the shocks to productivity and to investment which affect the time paths of major economic variables. Effects of the events are measured by comparing the time paths generated by the model with and without the changes in the shocks. Without the Great Leap output and consumption per capita would have been 2.0 times as great in 1993, without the Cultural Revolution, 1.2 times as great. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

Abstract: The traditional second-order Fokker-Planck equation may not adequately describe the movement of solute in an aquifer because of large deviation from the dynamics of Brownian motion. Densities of alpha-stable type have been used to describe the probability distribution of these motions. The resulting governing equation of these motions is similar to the traditional Fokker-Planck equation except that the order alpha of the highest derivative is fractional.

In this paper, a space fractional Fokker-Planck equation (SFFPE) with instantaneous source is considered. A numerical scheme for solving SFFPE is presented. Using the Riemann-Liouville and Grunwald-Letnikov definitions of fractional derivatives, the SFFPE is transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE). Then the ODE system is solved by a method of lines. Numerical results for SFFPE with a constant diffusion coefficient are evaluated for comparison with the known analytical solution. The numerical approximation of SFFPE with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient is also used to simulate Levy motion with alpha-stable densities. We will show that the numerical method of SFFPE is able to more accurately model these heavy-tailed motions. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
