background: we examined epidemiological aspects of dynamic changes in incidence of ovarian cancer in women of kazakh and russian nationalities in kazakhstan. methods: the material of investigation was primary data on registered patients with malignant ovarian tumors in the whole country. the study was conducted during the period of 1999-2009. evaluation of changes in ovarian cancer incidence in...

We explicitly construct an uncountable class of infinite aperiodic plane graphs which have equal, and explicitly computable, bond percolation thresholds. Furthermore for both bond percolation and the random-cluster model all large scale properties, such as the values of the percolation threshold and the critical exponents, of the graphs are equal. This equivalence holds for all values of p and ...

we define a new type of spectrum, called δ-approximate spectrum, of an element a in a complex unital banach algebra a and show that the δ-approximate spectrum σ_δ (a) of a is compact. the relation between the δ-approximate spectrum and the usual spectrum is investigated. also an analogue of the classical gleason-kahane-zelazko theorem is established: for each ε>0, there is δ>0 such that if ϕ is...

ABSTRACT The Galactic black hole candidate (BHC) 4U 1630?472 has gone through several outbursts (13 to be particular) in the last two and a half decades starting from RXTE era till date. Like of other transient BHCs, this source show variations duration, peak numbers, highest flux, etc. However, unlike soft X-ray transients, showed types, such as normal super. duration ?100?200 d are observed w...

We present a proof that the number of breakpoints in the arrival function between two terminals in graphs of treewidth $w$ is $n^{O(\log^2 w)}$ when the edge arrival functions are piecewise linear. This is an improvement on the bound of $n^{\Theta(\log n)}$ by Foschini, Hershberger, and Suri for graphs without any bound on treewidth. We provide an algorithm for calculating this arrival function...
