We present a comparative study of certain invariants defined for group actions and their analogues orbifolds. In particular, we prove that Fadell's equivariant category $G$-spaces coincides with the Lusternik-Schnirelmann orbifolds when is finite.

Modelling is emphasized heavily in the national math curriculum, yet the extent to which this concept is covered in the math textbooks is, while of great importance, unknown. To discover the extent to which this issue, and real problems in general, are covered in the 10th grade math textbooks, the content of the textbook for the ‘theoretical’ (“nazari”) branch was analyzed. In doing so, the vie...

The present paper is the second part of a previously published overview entitled “ten years of severe plastic deformation (SPD) in Iran”. Part I concentrates on the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In this part, the focus is on the accumulative roll bonding (ARB) because, currently, Iran is ranked the first in the world by the total number of publications in this field. In the present sec...

INTRODUCTION More data are essential to test the efficacy of the seventh edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This retrospective study was designed to identify the prognostic factors for survival of patients with ESCC who underwent surgical resection alone and to evaluate the new AJCC staging system for ESCC. ME...

We introduce and study category of $(m, n)$-ary hypermodules as a generalization of the category of $(m, n)$-modules as well as the category of classical modules. Also, we study various kinds of morphisms. Especially, we characterize monomorphisms and epimorphisms in this category. We will proceed to study the fundamental relation on $(m, n)$-hypermodules, as an important tool in the study of a...

we show that the category of convergence approach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of latticevalued limit spaces. further we study the preservation of diagonal conditions, which characterize approach spaces. it is shown that the category of preapproach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of lattice-valued p...
