Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most fatal malignancies, and its incidence mortality rates are growing annually throughout world. In this research, we aimed to investigate time trends identify spatial clusters on a global scale over last 30 years, using Global Burden Disease (GBD) study 2019 data.Age-standardized data due PC were extracted from GBD study, which was carried out 1990 2019. A Joinpoint regression analysis utilized examine in past three decades. As such, analyses undertaken...

This paper proposes the idea of independent models a microgrid (MG) based on operation modes. In grid-connected operation, optimal power flow is proposed to minimize generation cost. A new decision variable was introduced represent MG as an equivalent unit from viewpoint upstream network. island contingency condition considered and reliability improvement through load restoration proposed. performance index model MGs small self-adequate islands in contingency. The main distinction between...

Background: Drug use has always been suggested as the first preventable agent of various diseases and deaths around world. Nowadays, this problem is more prevalent among young people students universities that are at risk. Objectives: Due to newness case legal restrictions on psychoactive drugs in Iran, there no statistics regarding prevalence consuming these drugs; therefore, it was decided determine causes tendency towards Yazd Shahid Sadoughi University Medical Sciences. Methods: The...
