background: breast cancer is the most common cancer after lung cancer and the second cause of death. in this study we compared weibull and lognormal cure models with cox regression on the survival of breast cancer. study design: a cohort study. methods: the current study retrospective cohort study was conducted on 140 patients referred to ali ibn abitaleb hospital, rafsanjan southeastern iran f...

background & aim: esophageal cancer is one of the main common causes of death. the high prevalence of esophageal cancer in northern iran is an important public health problem. the main aim of this paper was to assess the factors affecting survival of  atients with esophageal cancer in neighbor provinces around the caspian sea using weibull mixture cure model and mixture cure model based on a no...

afinite element model is developed for simulation of the curing process of a thick axisymmetric rubber article reinforced by metal plates during the molding and cooling stages. the model consists of the heat transfer equation and a newly developed kinetics model for the determination of the state of cure in the rubber. the latter is based on the modification of the well-known kamal-sourour mode...

background & aim: in the survival data with long-term survivors the event has not occurred for all the patients despite long-term follow-up, so the survival time for a certain percent is censored at the  end  of the  study.  mixture  cure  model  was  introduced  by boag,  1949  for  reaching  a  more efficient analysis of this set of data. because of some disadvantages of this model non-mixtur...

effect of partial natural rubber replaced with synthetic rubbers, styrene butadiene and cis butadiene, on failure and strength properties of bias tread nr/br based compound was studied by efficient and conventional sulfur curing systems and mixtures of different carbon black grades. it was observed that failure behavior comprising tear resistance and crack growth in substituted compounds droppe...
