objective: international diabetes organization estimates that there are 285 million people worldwide who suffer from diabetes, and this figure is expected to increase to 450 million in next 20 years. according to statistics issued by the world health organization, diabetes is considered among ten leading causes of death in world and its prevalence in the population is growing.this paper deals w...

business all around the world uses different approaches to know their customers, segment them and formulate suitable strategies for them. one of these approaches is calculating the value of each customer for the company. in this paper by calculating customer lifetime value (clv) for individual customers of an online toy store named alakdolak, three customer segments are extracted. the level of ...

‎a $(p‎,‎q)$ graph $g$ is said to have a $k$-odd mean‎ ‎labeling $(k ge 1)$ if there exists an injection $f‎ : ‎v‎ ‎to {0‎, ‎1‎, ‎2‎, ‎ldots‎, ‎2k‎ + ‎2q‎ - ‎3}$ such that the‎ ‎induced map $f^*$ defined on $e$ by $f^*(uv) =‎ ‎leftlceil frac{f(u)+f(v)}{2}rightrceil$ is a‎ ‎bijection from $e$ to ${2k - ‎‎‎1‎, ‎2k‎ + ‎1‎, ‎2k‎ + ‎3‎, ‎ldots‎, ‎2‎ ‎k‎ + ‎2q‎ - ‎3}$‎. ‎a graph that admits $k$...

Across-sectional study was performed in 541 type 2 diabetic patients to determine the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and NAFLD in type 2 diabetic patients. Clinical parameters including SUA were determined and NAFLD was diagnosed by ultrasonography. SUA was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic subjects with NAFLD than in those without NAFLD in men, but not in women. Furthermore, ...

A detailed discussion of the point in polygon problem for arbitrary polygons is given. Two concepts for solving this problem are known in literature: the even-odd rule and the winding number, the former leading to ray-crossing, the latter to angle summation algorithms. First we show by mathematical means that both concepts are very closely related, thereby developing a first version of an algor...

Symmetry of information states that C(x) + C(y|x) = C(x, y) + O(logC(x)). In [3] an online variant of Kolmogorov complexity is introduced and we show that a similar relation does not hold. Let the even (online Kolmogorov) complexity of an n-bitstring x1x2 . . . xn be the length of a shortest program that computes x2 on input x1, computes x4 on input x1x2x3, etc; and similar for odd complexity. ...

Betatrophin/ANGPTL8 is a newly identified hormone produced in liver and adipose tissue that has been shown to be induced as a result of insulin resistance and regulates lipid metabolism. Little is known about betatrophin level in humans and its association with T2D and metabolic risk factors. Plasma level of betatrophin was measured by ELISA in 1603 subjects: 1047 non-diabetic and 556 T2D subje...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this investigation was to study the possible association between the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) and the glycemic control of type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, the radiographic records of 83 type 2 diabetic patients were examined. Glycemic control was assessed by the mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c level). AP was diagnosed as ...
