Abstract
In this paper, we obtain Li-Yau type gradient estimates with time dependent parameter for positive solutions of the heat equation that are different with the estimates by Li-Xu \cite{LX} and Qian \cite{Qi}. As an application of the estimate, we also obtained improvements of Davies' Li-Yau type gradient estimate.
