Application of water cycle algorithm with demand follows green level and nonlinear power pattern of the product for an inventory system.

It is commonly known that a number of variables, including price, supply levels, time, and green level, affect how quickly certain things are in demand. Furthermore, the inventory carrying cost is considered to be a nonlinear representation of time and is subject to variation throughout time. More precisely, it rises with time since longer storage times necessitate more costly warehouse space.

Inventory model for green products with payment strategy, selling price and green level dependent demand using teaching learning based optimization algorithm.

There has been a lot of research on pricing and lot-sizing practices for different payment methods; however, the majority has focused on the buyer's perspective. While accepting buyers' credit conditions positively impacts sales, requesting advance payments from purchasers tends to have a negative effect. Additionally, requiring a down payment has been found to generate interest revenue for the supplier without introducing default risk.

Causes of death in two rural demographic surveillance sites in Bangladesh, 2004-2010: automated coding of verbal autopsies using InterVA-4.

Objective: Population-based information on causes of death (CoD) by age, sex, and area is critical for countries with limited resources to identify and address key public health issues. This study analysed the demographic surveillance and verbal autopsy (VA) data to estimate age- and sex-specific mortality rates and cause-specific mortality fractions in two well-defined rural populations within the demographic surveillance system in Abhoynagar and Mirsarai subdistricts, located in different climatic zones.

Design: During 2004-2010, the sample demographic surveillance system registered 1,384 deaths in Abhoynagar and 1,847 deaths in Mirsarai.

Response of carbamzepine in bipolar disorder: kindlers versus non-kindlers.

Based on carbamazepine's hypothesized ability to stabilize temporal lobe seizures and behavioral disorders and its ability to inhibit limbic system excitability in models such as kindling, we undertook this study with the aims of finding out the response of carbamazepine in kindler and non kindler groups and to see the relationship of socio-demographic and clinical variables in kindler and non-kindler bipolar mood disorder with response to carbamazepine. Simple random sampling was done and patients (over a period of one and a half year) between 18-50 years who had a diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder, current episode mania as per lCD-10 and who had history of at least three manic or depressive episode in the past were taken. The total sample was divided into two groups i.
