Differentiating Functions of the Jacobian with Respect to the Weights

Some Properties of Certain Subclasses of Close-to-Convex and Quasi-convex Functions with Respect to 2k-Symmetric Conjugate Points

Random regression models for estimation of covariance functions of growth in Iranian Kurdi sheep

Body weight (BW) records (n=11,659) of 4961 Kurdi sheep from 215 sires and 2085 dams were used to estimate the additive genetic, direct and maternal permanent environmental effects on growth from 1 to 300 days of age. The data were collected from 1993 to 2015 at a breeding station in North Khorasan province; Iran. Genetic parameters for growth traits were estimated using random regression test-...

Inverse and Reverse 2-facility Location Problems with Equality Measures on a Network

In this paper we consider the inverse and reverse network facility location problems with considering the equity on servers. The inverse facility location with equality measure deals with modifying the weights of vertices with minimum cost, such that the difference between the maximum and minimum weights of clients allocated to the given facilities is minimized. On the other hand, the reverse c...

Characterizing sub-topical functions

In this paper, we first give a characterization of sub-topical functions with respect to their lower level sets and epigraph. Next, by using two different classes of elementary functions, we present a characterization of sub-topical functions with respect to their polar functions, and investigate the relation between polar functions and support sets of this class of functions. Finally, we obtai...

Sodium Arsenite Caused Mineralization Impairment in Rat Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Differentiating to Osteoblasts

ABSTRACT Background: Sodium arsenite (SA) recently has been recommended to be used in malignancy therapy. Our studies showed, SA in short and long period of treatment caused reduction of rats Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) viability and induced caspase dependent apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of SA on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Methods: MSCs...
