background and objective: serum creatinine is the most used endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (gfr), but it also has multiple limitations. therefore, some surrogate gfr markers, such as beta trace protein, have been introduced for gfr estimation. the aim of our study was to estimate gfr by serum beta trace protein using three available equations and compare them to dtpa gfr as the...

Capsicum and garlic were extracted in xylene. The obtained extracts were used to prepare four emulsifable concentrates "EC's". Formula A "capsicum xylene extract + emulsifier", Formula B "garlic xylene extract + emulsifier", Formula C "capsicum xylene extract in boiled linseed oil + emulsifier" and Formula D "garlic xylene extract in boiled linseed oil + emulsifier ". All prepared formulations ...

this paper explains a model for analyzing and measuring the propagation of order amplifications (i.e. bullwhip effect) for a single-product supply network topology considering exogenous uncertainty and linear and time-invariant inventory management policies for network entities. the stream of orders placed by each entity of the network is characterized assuming customer demand is ergodic. in fa...

by using euler-maclaurin's summation formula and the way of real analysis, a more accurate multiplehilbert-type inequality and the equivalent form are given. we also prove that the same constantfactor in the equivalent inequalities is the best possible.
