Recently, we have proposed a new illness-death model that comprises a state of undiagnosed chronic disease preceding the diagnosed disease. Based on this model, the question arises how case-finding can be assessed in the presence of mortality from all these states. We simulate two scenarios of different performance of case-finding and apply several indices to assess casefinding in both scenario...

Abstract For a connected graph, the first Zagreb eccentricity index $\xi _{1}$ ? 1 is defined as sum of squares eccentricities all vertices, and second _{2}$ 2 products pairs adjacent vertices. In this paper, we mainly present different universal approa...

more than 80% of iran’s area has arid and semi arid climate. therefore, iran is exposed to desertification process. practical activities in controlling desertification must be based on current desertification situation and its severity. based on this theory, evaluating desertification rate indices in khezrabad region was done based on imdpa model. in this research two factors with 10 indices we...
