background:growth is one of the most important indices in child health. the best and most effective way to investigate child health is measuring the physical growth indices such as weight, height and head circumference. among these measures, weight growth is the simplest and the most effective way to determine child growth status. weight trend at a given age is the result of cumulative growth e...

this paper deals with scrutinizing the convergence properties of iterative methods to solve linear system of equations. recently, several types of the preconditioners have been applied for ameliorating the rate of convergence of the accelerated overrelaxation (aor) method. in this paper, we study the applicability of a general class of the preconditioned iterative methods under certain conditio...

copper amine oxidases are important enzymes, which contribute to the regulation of mono- and polyamine levels. each monomer contains one cu(ii) ion and 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine (tpq) as cofactors. they catalyze the oxidative deamination of primary amines to aldehydes with a ping-pong mechanism consisting of a transamination. the mechanism is followed by the transfer of two electrons to mol...

the aim of this study is to propose a new mixed integer linear programming (milp) model to find the minimum required number of yard cranes, rubber tyred gantry cranes (rtgcs), for completion the total amount of works at the end of planning horizon. in other word, we find the optimal number of yard cranes in a container terminal which completes the total amount of works. the paper supports the p...

research interests have been focused on the concept of penalizing jobs both for being early and for being tardy because not only of modern competitive industrial challenges of providing a variety of products at a very low cost by smoothing productions but also of its increasing and exciting computer applications. here, sequencing approaches of the mixed- model just-in-time production systems is...

Let L be the generalized mixed product ideal induced by a monomial ideal I. In this paper we compute powers of the genearlized mixed product ideals and show that Lk  have a linear resolution if and only if Ik have a linear resolution for all k. We also introduce the generalized mixed polymatroidal ideals and prove that powers and monomial localizations of a generalized mixed polymatroidal ideal...

In this paper, we propose a new ridge-type estimator called the new mixed ridge estimator (NMRE) by unifying the sample and prior information in linear measurement error model with additional stochastic linear restrictions. The new estimator is a generalization of the mixed estimator (ME) and ridge estimator (RE). The performances of this new estimator and mixed ridge estimator (MRE) against th...
