Thank you very much for publishing our manuscript entitled: "Quantification and comparison of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase with two methods in normal and paget's specimens" in the latest issue of the journal (Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, Summer 2012 3(3):478-483). Unfortunately, we noticed the mistake in the date of our study after its publication in your latest revised manuscrip...

In this paper, we propose a new mathematical model for Capacitated Inventory Routing Problem (CIRP), which considers freshly delivery of perishable products to the customers’ location; otherwise, a reduction in products’ demand may occur. Therefore, we attempt to plan delivering process of products at the right time to avoid extra inventory causing increase in age of products. This ...

the main purpose of this paper is to introduce afast method for gene prediction in dna sequences based on the period-3 property in exons. first, the symbolic dna sequences are converted to digital signal using the eiip method. then, to reduce the effect of background noise in the period-3 spectrum, we use the discrete wavelet transform (dwt) at three levels and apply it on the input digital sig...

In the flow shop mean completion time problem, a set of jobs has to be processed on m-machines. Every machine has to process each one of the jobs, and every job has the same routing through the machines. The objective is to determine a sequence of the jobs on the machines so as to minimize the sum of the completion times of all jobs on the final machine. In this paper, we prove the asymptotic o...

preemptively scheduling a set of independent jobs with release time on one processor is a historical problem. in this paper, the same problem has been considered in which objective is to minimize the mean flow time. to prepare a perfect branch-and-bound, some optimality conditions have been represented and they have been compared with the optimality conditions which have been proposed before. o...

The microalga incorporated photobioreactor is a highly efficient biological system for converting CO2 into biomass. Using microalgal photobioreactor as CO2 mitigation system is a practical approach for elimination of waste gas from the CO2 emission. In this study, the marine microalga Chlorella sp. was cultured in a photobioreactor to assess biomass, lipid productivity and CO2 reduction. We als...

In this issue Health by Numbers explores asthma hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visit rates in relation to Healthy People 2010 (HP2010) goals. Two HP2010 objectives for asthma are specific to hospitalizations and ED visits. Objective 24-2 sets the following targets for asthma hospitalizations by age group: (1) an age-specific rate of 25 per 10,000 children under age 5 years, (2) ...

Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) provides differential corrections for a GPS receiver in order to improve the navigation solution accuracy. DGPS position signals are accurate, but very slow updates. Improving DGPS corrections prediction accuracy has received considerable attention in past decades. In this research work, the Neural Network (NN) based on the Gaussian Radial Basis Fun...
