, 2014 , Article)
The development of cisplatin resistance in human cancers is controlled by multiple genes and leads to therapeutic failure. Hypermethylation of specific gene promoters is a key event in clinical resistance to cisplatin. ...
A discussion on generalized almost contractions via rational expressions in partially ordered metric spaces
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2014 , Article)
The main purpose of this paper is to give some fixed point results for mappings involving generalized (Formula presented.)-contractions in partially ordered metric spaces. Our results generalize, extend, and unify several ...
