the gastric cancer in iran is the fourth in the general population. this study was designed to determine the five-year survival rate of gastric cancer patients, and to assess its associated factors. we analyzed the data using a time-dependent covariates model, and recommend it for analyses of similar data. 281 gastric cancer patients with adenocarcinomatous pathology who had been operated on at...

in paper (2004) chang studied an inventory model under a situation in which the supplier provides the purchaser with a permissible delay of payments if the purchaser orders a large quantity. tripathi (2011) also studied an inventory model with time dependent demand rate under which the supplier provides the purchaser with a permissible delay in payments. this paper is motivated by chang (2004) ...

in this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent hamiltonians. we drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. the formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

in this paper, a production inventory model is developed for the business enterprise which consists of three wings. the first wing is for manufacturing new items, the second wing is for collecting the returned items, while third wing is for remanufacturing the returned item. in this model we consider the fact that the storage item is deteriorated during storage periods and salvage value is inco...

cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women in malaysia. the objective of this study was to estimate the effect of explanatory variables on survival time of cervical cancer patients receiving treatment at a hospital in malaysia.in this retrospective record review study, cervical cancer data obtained from hospital universitisains malaysia (husm) was analysed. the data comprises o...

background: in survival studies when the event times are dependent, performing of the analysis by using of methods based on independent assumption, leads to biased. in this paper, using copula function and considering the dependence structure between the event times, a parametric joint distribution has made fitting to the events, and the effective factors on each of these events would be determ...

in this paper, the conjugate gradient method coupled with adjoint problem is used in order to solve the inverse heat conduction problem and estimation of the time- dependent heat flux using the temperature distribution at a point in a three layer system with none homogeneous boundary conditions. also, the effect of noisy data on final solution is studied. for solving this problem the general co...

in this paper, optimal distributed control of the time-dependent navier-stokes equations is considered. the control problem involves the minimization of a measure of the distance between the velocity field and a given target velocity field. a mixed numerical method involving a quasi-newton algorithm, a novel calculation of the gradients and an inhomogeneous navier-stokes solver, to find the opt...
