background: including multivariate survival data can be pointed competing risks data. there are various methods to analyze such data such as semi-parametric methods of cause-specific hazard function, and cumulative incidence function. the aim of this study was to deploy competing risks model to analyze the determinants of patients with liver cirrhosis. materials and methods: during the one-year...

background & aim: we aimed to describe a standard survival analysis, so that we can analyze some factors related to the time of occurrence of different types of reflux (unilateral-left, unilateralright, and bilateral) in children with antenatal hydronephrosis (anh) and to provide an approach taking competing risks into account. methods & materials: we used data of 193 children that was collecte...

A wear metal profile is often prepared for each engine. Typically an early wear-in period of high metals concentration is observed, followed by a plateau of low metals concentration [2]. Impending component failure will be indicated by a rapid increase in wear metal concentration, or the sudden appearance of a metal. The metal type and concentration may also indicate to the analyst and engineer...

assessment of risks is a key task in the project management. in this process, risk breakdown structure (rbs) approach can be utilized to identify project relevant risks. in the previous classical method, only limited number of attributes is considered in the evaluation that can cause unreliable results. in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce and involve a relatively comprehensive ...

asafoetida is the dried latex exuded from the living underground rhizome or tap root of ferula assafoetida. antibacterial characteristic of asafoetida was shown using the circular zone diameter of bacterial growth inhibition by disk-diffusion method on two gram positive and three gram negative bacteria. then, the bacterial genomic dna damage, induced by f. assafoetida latex, was demonstrated us...
