background: inflammatory breast cancer (ibc), a subgroup of locally advanced breast cancer (labc), is diagnosed based on clinical findings, and seems to be different from other types of labc. the purpose of this study was to compare clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes between inflammatory and non-inflammatory labc patients at breast cancer research center (bcrc), tehran, iran. meth...

Locally extended affine Lie algebras were introduced by Morita and Yoshii in [J. Algebra 301(1) (2006), 59-81] as a natural generalization of extended affine Lie algebras. After that, various generalizations of these Lie algebras have been investigated by others. It is known that a locally extended affine Lie algebra can be recovered from its centerless core, i.e., the ideal generated by weight...

We investigate shift invariant subspaces of $L^2(G)$, where $G$ is a locally compact abelian group. We show that every shift invariant space can be decomposed as an orthogonal sum of spaces each of which is generated by a single function whose shifts form a Parseval frame. For a second countable locally compact abelian group $G$ we prove a useful Hilbert space isomorphism, introduce range funct...

in this paper, the gradual real numbers are considered and the notion of the gradual normed linear space is given. also some topological properties of such spaces are studied, and it is shown that the gradual normed linear space is a locally convex space, in classical sense. so the results in locally convex spaces can be translated in gradual normed linear spaces. finally, we give an examp...

background: external beam radiotherapy (ebrt) is mainstay of treatment in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma (lacc). three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3dcrt) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (imrt) are mainly used in ebrt. however which one is superior is still controversial. materials and methods: forty patients of lacc treated with imrt were selected for this study....

let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...
