background assessment of glomerular filtration rate (gfr) by common creatinine-based methods is potentially inaccurate in patients with cirrhosis. cirrhotic patients have several underlying conditions that contribute to falsely low serum creatinine concentrations, even in the presence of moderate to severe renal impairment. therefore creatinine-based methods usually overestimate true gfr in the...

‎Given a compact space $X$ and a commutative Banach algebra‎ ‎$A$‎, ‎the character spaces of $A$-valued function algebras on $X$ are‎ ‎investigated‎. ‎The class of natural $A$-valued function algebras‎, ‎those whose characters can be described by means of characters of $A$ and‎ ‎point evaluation homomorphisms‎, ‎is introduced and studied‎. ‎For an‎ ‎admissible Banach $A$-valued function algebra...

Desertification process as a great problem affects most of the countries in the world specially developing countries. This process has a high rate in arid and semi-arid countries such as Iran. The main objective of this research was to investigate land degradation status and desertification mapping of Kashan area. Different studies have been carried out in the world in order to assess desertifi...

climate change that the human faces is a somewhat unavoidable phenomenon. successful management of water resources needs recognition and perception of climate change in order to cope with water scarcity. the water scarcity is created by natural forcings such as drought, which is affected by regional climate. in other words, variation of climate variables as a result of climate change leads to v...

This paper is devoted to the study of establishing sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of positive solution to a class of non-linear problems of fractional differential equations. The boundary conditions involved Riemann-Liouville fractional order derivative and integral. Further, the non-linear function $f$ contain fractional order derivative which produce extra complexity. Than...

It is attempted to extend a two-step without memory method to it's with memory. Then, a new two-step derivative free class of without memory methods, requiring three function evaluations per step, is suggested by using a convenient weight function for solving nonlinear equations. Eventually, we obtain a new class of methods by employing a self-accelerating parameter calculated in each iterative...

In this paper, we define and investigate a new class of bi-Bazilevic functions related to shell-like curves connected with Fibonacci numbers.  Furthermore, we find estimates of first two coefficients of functions belonging to this class. Also, we give the Fekete-Szegoinequality for this function class.

In this work we present some new results on convolution and subordination in geometric function theory. We prove that the class of convex functions of order α is closed under convolution with a prestarlike function of the same order. Using this, we prove that subordination under the convex function order α is preserved under convolution with a prestarlike function of the same order. Moreover, w...

an estimation problem of the mean µ of an inverse gaussian distribution ig(µ, c µ) with known coefficient of variation c is treated as a decision problem with entropy loss function. a class of bayes estimators is constructed, and shown to include mrse estimator as its closure. two important members of this class can easily be computed using continued fractions
