Stochastic programming problems with simple recourse belong to problems depending on a random element only through the corresponding probability measure. Consequently, this probability measure can be treated as a parameter of the problem. In this paper the stability with respect to the above mentioned parameter will be studied for generalized simple recourse problems.

background: methotrexate (mtx) is an anti-metabolite drug widely used in treatment of neoplastic disorders, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. the ester derivative, ethyl pyruvate (ep) is stable in solution and should function as an antioxidant and energy precursor. this study was conducted to evaluate the protective role of ep on sperm parameters, testosterone level and malondialdehyde (mda) ...

cyclophosphamide (cp) is extensively used as an antineoplastic agent for treatment of various cancers, as well as an immunosuppressive agent. however, despite its wide spectrum of clinical uses, cp is known to cause several adverse effects including reproductive toxicity in humans and experimental animals. crataegus monogyna is one of the oldest medicinal plant has been shown to be cytoprotecti...

background: successful therapy of leishmaniasis depends on effective cellular immune response. we evaluated the effectiveness of sodium selenite and zinc sulphate as known immunomodulator materials, in combination with glucantime® in treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis lesions resulting from leishmania ma­jor in susceptible animal model. methods: thirty three female mice weighing 18-20 g at th...

Progress on marine carotenoids over the past three years is reviewed. Structural elucidation including stereochemical assignments, improved methodology for such studies and partial syntheses are treated, Unpublished results from the author’s laboratory are included. Several applied aspects are mentioned,
