Polyphenols, found abundantly in plants, display many anticarcinogenic properties including their inhibitory effects on cancer cell proliferation, tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and inflammation as well as inducing apoptosis. In addition, they can modulate immune system response and protect normal cells against free radicals damage. Most investigations on anticancer mechanisms of polyp...

In this paper, a production inventory model is considered for stochastic demand with the effect of inflation. Generally, every manufacturing system wants to produce perfect quality items. However, due to real-life problems (labor problems, machine breakdown, etc.), a certain percentage of products are of imperfect quality. The imperfect items are reworked at a cost. The lifetime of a defective ...

This investigation presents an economic production quantity (EPQ) model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand and shortages. It is assumed that a constant fraction of the on-hand inventory deteriorates and demand rate depends upon the amount of the stock level. Expression for various optimal indices as well as cost analysis are provided. By taking numerical illustration, sensitivi...

BACKGROUND Delirium is an urgent condition in psychiatry and it occurs after long-lasting alcohol abuse, in surgical procedures and other organic mental syndromes with deprivation of interpersonal and social stimulations. The aim was to evaluate of sociodemographical and psychopathological differences in delirium patients with alcoholand surgical genesis, studied in period from January 1(st) 20...

In this paper, economic production quantity(EPQ)models for breakable or deteriorating items are developed with time dependent linear variable demands. Here rate of production and holding cost are time dependent and unit production cost is a function of both production reliability indicator and production rate. Set-up cost is also partially production rate dependent.The production process produc...

In this work we developed EPQ models for deteriorating items by considering stochastic machine unavailability and price-dependent demand. Moreover, we approach the distribution of the machine unavailability using kernel density estimation. Therefore, the assumption of any distribution models, such as uniformly or exponentially distribution can be neglected and the shape of the distribution will...

Economic production quantity (EPQ) inventory model for trended demand has been analyzed with rework facility and stochastic preventive machine time. Due to the complexity of the model, search method is proposed to determine the best optimal solution. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are carried out to validate the proposed model. From the sensitivity analysis, it is observed that th...
