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...

This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...

it is assumed in most of the existing models that the items can be stored for an unlimited time to meet the future’s demand and their quality and quantity does not change during that period. nevertheless there are special kinds of products which deteriorate or become unusable (such as food products, alcohol, medicines, etc.). therefore if the rate of deterioration is significantly high, the imp...

An inventory problem for a deteriorating item having two separate warehouses is developed under time value of money, whereby one is an own warehouse (OW) of finite dimension(s) and the other is rented warehouse (RW) of infinite dimension(s). Deterioration rate of items in the two warehouses may be different, which is time dependent and deterioration is in the mean beta distribution form. In thi...

In his paper a deterministic two warehouse Electronic component inventory model for deteriorating items, timedependent demand, variable holding cost and vector evaluated genetic algorithm has been developed under assumption that the Electronic component inventory cost including time-dependent demand, holding cost, vector evaluated genetic algorithm and deterioration cost in Rented Warehouse is ...

In the past few decade researches have developed their EOQ models under constant deterioration and constant demand. However, it is not true in actual practice. In this paper, we have established inventory model with exponential time-dependent demand and timedependent time-dependent deterioration. Shortages are allowed. The demand rate and unit production cost both are considered as proportional...
