STUDY THE NUMBER OF TRANSFERRED EMBRYOS INCREASE THE PREGNANCY RATES IN FRESH ICSI-ET-CYCLES

Low chances of implantation after the transfer of a single embryo have led the need to increase the number of embryos during embryo transfer for in vitro fertilization cycles, especially in countries that do not have legal limitations for the number of embryos to be transferred. However, because of the risk of multiple pregnancies, abortion, high cost of repeating IVF or vitrification and the demand of patients to increase the number of embryos in countries such as Iraq, there is still no consensus on the number of embryos to be transferred. This study was to investigate whether increasing the number of embryos during ET increases pregnancy rates. One hundred and twenty eight infertile Iraqi women (with normal baseline hormonal levels) were selected and subjected to an IVF stimulation program with an intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. All of these women were considered eligible for embryo transfer (no visible indications for implantation failure), and only good quality embryos were transferred. Those women were divided randomly into two groups according to the number of transferred embryos; group A: sixty seven patients who accepted the transfer of (1-4) embryos and group B: sixty one patients who insisted on the transfer of 3 or 4 good quality embryos. In group A, thirty six patients became pregnant while in group B only thirty patients became pregnant. No significant difference was found in pregnancy rates after increasing the number of transferred embryos. The result showed that increasing the number of transferred embryos does not increase pregnancy rates in a fresh ICSI-ET cycles.

Effects of Salinity and Mixed Ammonium and Nitrate Nutrition on the Growth and Nitrogen Utilization of Barley

The absorption and utilization of nitrogen (N) by plants are affected by salinity and the form of N in the root medium. A hydroponic study was conducted under controlled conditions to investigate growth and N uptake by barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) supplied with five different NH4+-N/NO3−-N ratios at electrical conductivity of 0 and 8 dS m−1. The five NH4+-N/NO3-N ratios were 0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25 and 100/0, each giving a total N supply of 100 mg N l−1 in the root medium. A mixed N supply of NH4+ and NO3− resulted in greater accumulation of N in plants than either NO3− or NH4+ as the sole N source. Plants produced a significantly higher dry matter yield when grown with mixed N nutrition than with NH4+ or NO3− alone. Total dry matter production and root and shoot N contents decreased with increasing salinity in the root medium. The interaction between salinity and N nutrition was found to be significant for all the variables. A significant positive correlation (r=0.97) was found between nitrogen level in the plant shoot and its dry matter yield. Wachstum und Stickstoffausnutzung bei Gerste in Abhangigkeit von Versalzung und Michungen von Ammonium und Nitrat Aufnahme und Nutzung von N durch Pflanzen wird von der Versalzung und N-Form im Wurzelbereich bestimmt. Es wurde in Hydrokultur unter kontrollierten Bedingungen Wachstum und N-Aufnahme durch Gerste (Hordeum vulgare L.) bei Anwendung von funf unterschiedlichen NH4+-N/NO3−-N Verhaltnissen bei einer elektrischen Konduktivitat von 0 und 8 dS m−1 untersucht. Die Gesamtmenge von 100 mg N l−1 im Wurzelmedium wies NH4+-N/NO3−-N Verhaltnisse von 0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25 und 100/0 auf. Mischungen von NH4+ und NO3− fuhrten zu einer groseren Aufnahme durch die Pflanzen als bei alleiniger Anwendung von NO3− oder NH4+. Die Pflanzen produzierten signifikant mehr Gesamttrockenmasse mit Mischungen der beiden N-Formen im Vergleich zu alleiniger Anwendung von NH4+ oder NO3−. Die Gesamttrockenmasse sowie die N-Gehalte von Wurzel und Spros nahmen mit steigender Versalzung ab. Versalzungs- und N-Versorgungs-Interaktion war signifikant in allen Versuchsbedingungen. Eine signifikante positive Korrelation (r=0,97) wurde zwischen Stickstoffkonzentration und der Trockenmasseproduktion der Pflanze gefunden.
MORPHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS AND THEIR HERITABILITIES FOR SAHIWAL

Morphological measurements are the characteristics needed to describe morphology of animals. The present study was conducted on Sahiwal cattle of Pakistan to investigate body dimensions and to find their genetic control. The body measurements were recorded on 310 Sahiwal cows kept at three livestock farms. The freshly calved lactating cows from parity first to five were included. Measurements were recorded three times; at early, mid and end of lactation period. Pedigree file was generated from available records in order to estimate heritabilities. Animal model using REML procedure was employed for estimating variance components and heritabilities through ASREML software. Most of the body measurements presented medium to high genetic control on them. Heritability estimates ranged from 0.52±0.04 (neck length) to 0.95±0.01 (naval length and tail length). The heritability estimates were more than 0.70 for body length, diagonal body length, ear width, dewlap width, rump width (Hook to hook), rump width (Pin to pin), rump length (Hook to pin), height at wither, height at sixth rib, height at last rib, height at spine, height at hook bone and height at pin bone. This amount of genetic control revealed that selection for some of body measurements could be effective and the body frame of Sahiwal cattle can be molded according to desire through genetic selection.
Therapeutic potential of a TrkB agonistic antibody for Alzheimer's disease

Repeated failures of “Aβ-lowering” therapies call for new targets and therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer's disease (AD). We propose to treat AD by halting neuronal death and repairing synapses using a BDNF-based therapy. To overcome the poor druggability of BDNF, we have developed an agonistic antibody AS86 to mimic the function of BDNF, and evaluate its therapeutic potential for AD. Method: Biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioral techniques were used to investigate the effects of AS86 in vitro and in vivo. Results: AS86 specifically activated the BDNF receptor TrkB and its downstream signaling, without affecting its other receptor p75NTR. It promoted neurite outgrowth, enhanced spine growth and prevented Aβ-induced cell death in cultured neurons, and facilitated Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal slices. A single-dose tail-vein injection of AS86 activated TrkB signaling in the brain, with a half-life of 6 days in the blood and brain. Bi-weekly peripheral administration of AS86 rescued the deficits in object-recognition memory in the APP/PS1 mouse model. AS86 also reversed spatial memory deficits in the 11-month, but not 14-month old AD mouse model. Conclusion: These results demonstrate the potential of AS86 in AD therapy, suggesting that neuronal and/or synaptic repair as an alternative therapeutic strategy for AD.
Leverage and Risk in Hedge Funds

The use of leverage is often considered a key potential systemic risk in hedge funds. Yet, data limitations have made empirical analyses of hedge fund leverage difficult. Traditional theories predict leverage and portfolio risk are positively linearly related. Alternatively, an emerging wave of theories of leverage constraints predict leverage and asset risk are negatively correlated, and therefore leverage and portfolio risk may be unrelated or even negatively related. Consistent with theories of leverage constraints, we find that hedge fund leverage and portfolio risk are weakly negatively correlated. This arises from a strong negative association between leverage and asset risk - in particular, market beta. The average market beta on funds' assets explains 20% of the cross-sectional variation in hedge fund leverage, and 47% for the subsample of equity-style funds. Also consistent with these theories, leverage and portfolio alpha are strongly positively related, but this relationship is entirely explained by market beta. Our findings suggest that the association between leverage and risk in hedge funds is nuanced, and that leverage is in part used to scale the payoffs of low-beta, high-alpha securities, resulting in an essentially flat relationship between leverage and portfolio risk.

Damage Assessment of Long-span Bridges using GPS/Accelerometer Observations under Dynamic Effects

This study investigates at evaluating long span bridges using the integrated real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and accelerometer technique. The data were collected from structural health monitoring system that installed on Yonghe cable-stayed bridge, China. A high-rate (20 Hz) GPS and 100 Hz accelerometer were utilized and integrated to observe the bridge behavior. A healthy and damage cases are evaluated under complicated loads, including traffic and ambient environmental loads effects. The time and frequency domains and numerical model were applied to assess the integrated system. The analysis of the results of the integrated system showed high correlation between the GPS/accelerometer observations in both time and frequency domains, particularly after occurrence of the damage. In addition, the GPS/accelerometer system observations demonstrate the significant efficiency of GPS observations for the damage in the time domain, while the accelerometer observations seem more effective in investigating effect of the damage in the frequency domain.
THE WORKSHOP SCHEDULING WITH REGARD TO DETERIORATION AND LEARNING EFFECTS IN A POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENT

In this study, the scheduling problem of workshop with regard to deterioration and learning effects in a potential environment are studied under uncertainty condition. The effect of time deterioration is considered when the delay of the onset causes increased processing time. In this study, the role of learning in the scheduling of the workshop will be investigated. The learning effect refers to reducing the processing time due to increased working skills, or any other reason. It is also assumed that the processing time will follow a normal distribution and the mean of this distribution is considered to be a function of the start time. In this study, for the optimal solving of the problem, mathematical programming models are recommended. But because the problem lies in the concept of NP-hard problems, this model cannot be solved efficiently for the big problems. Therefore, two efficient solutions are offered based on heuristic algorithm. These two meta-heuristic algorithms are genetic algorithms (GA) and particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO). The computational results examine the performance of the proposed solutions.
ScoRD: A Scoped Race Detector for GPUs

GPUs have emerged as a key computing platform for an ever-growing range of applications. Unlike traditional bulk-synchronous GPU programs, many emerging GPU-accelerated applications, such as graph processing, have irregular interaction among the concurrent threads. Consequently, they need complex synchronization. To enable both high performance and adequate synchronization, GPU vendors have introduced scoped synchronization operations that allow a programmer to synchronize within a subset of concurrent threads (a.k. a., scope) that she deems adequate. Scoped-synchronization avoids the performance overhead of synchronization across thousands of GPU threads while ensuring correctness when used appropriately. This flexibility, however, could be a new source of incorrect synchronization where a race can occur due to insufficient scope of the synchronization operation, and not due to missing synchronization as in a typical race.We introduce ScoRD, a race detector that enables hardware support for efficiently detecting global memory races in a GPU program, including those that arise due to insufficient scopes of synchronization operations. We show that ScoRD can detect a variety of races with a modest performance overhead (on average, 35%). In the process of this study, we also created a benchmark suite consisting of seven applications and three categories of microbenchmarks that use scoped synchronization operations.
Heat to Power: Thermal Energy Harvesting and Recycling for Warm Water-Cooled Datacenters

Warm water cooling has been regarded as a promising method to improve the energy efficiency of water-cooled datacenters. In warm water-cooling systems, hot spots occur as a common problem where the hybrid cooling architecture integrating thermoelectric coolers (TECs) emerges as a new remedy. Equipped with this architecture, the inlet water temperature can be raised higher, which provides more opportunities for heat recycling. However, currently, the heat absorbed from the server components is ejected directly into the water without being recycled, which leads to energy wasting. In order to further improve the energy efficiency, we propose Heat to Power (H2P), an economical and energy-recycling warm water cooling architecture, where thermoelectric generators (TEGs) harvest thermal energy from the “used” warm water and generate electricity for reusing in datacenters. Specifically, we propose some efficient optimization methods, including an economical water circulation design, fine-grained adjustments of the cooling setting and dynamic workload scheduling for increasing the power generated by TEGs. We evaluate H2P based on a real hardware prototype and cluster traces from Google and Alibaba. Experiment results show that TEGs equipped with our optimization methods can averagely generate 4.349 W, 4.203 W, and 3.979 W (4.177 W averagely) electricity on one CPU under the drastic, irregular and common workload traces, respectively. The power reusing efficiency (PRE) can reach 12.8%∼16.2% (14.23% averagely) and the total cost of ownership (TCO) of datacenters can be reduced by up to 0.57%.
Radical disruptions of self-consciousness: Editorial introduction

Human beings are not only conscious creatures, but also self -conscious creatures: they have the capacity to be conscious of themselves, and indeed, to be conscious of themselves as themselves. One obvious way in which one can be conscious of oneself (as oneself) is to consciously think about oneself (as oneself), by making use of a concept of self. However, many philosophers share the intuition that selfconsciousness is more pervasive in our conscious mental lives than sophisticated cognitive states that involve conceptually representing oneself as oneself. Indeed, some go so far as to suggest that a more basic form of self-consciousness or sense of self is ubiquitous in all conscious experiences. While it is easy to feel the pull of this intuition, it might be more difficult than it seems to provide compelling arguments and empirical evidence to support it. Let us call the general claim that some basic form of self-consciousness or sense of self is ubiquitous is all conscious experiences the Ubiquity Thesis. This claim has a long history. In the West, early psychologists took it to be relatively obvious; thus, William James argued that “whatever I may be thinking of, I am always at the same time more or less aware of myself ” (James, 1892/1961, p. 42).

Experimental and demographic analyses of growth rate and sexual size dimorphism in a lizard, Sceloporus undulatus

Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) is a common phenomenon caused by a variety of environmental and genetic mechanisms in animals. In the current study, we investigate the demography of a population of eastern fence lizards (Sceloporus undulatus) to compare age structure and survivorship between the sexes, and we examine growth rates of juveniles under both natural and controlled laboratory conditions to elucidate causes of SSD in this species. Furthermore, using our laboratory growth data, we examine the heritability of juvenile growth rates. Our results show that SSD develops in the field before the end of the first year of age (before sexual maturity) because juvenile females grow more rapidly than juvenile males. In the laboratory environment, however, we observed no sexual difference in growth rates for lizards up to the size of maturity in the field. Thus, sexual differences in growth rate and subsequent development of SSD in this population are highly plastic and subject to strong proximal control. We found high levels of additive genetic variance for juvenile growth, indicating a strong potential for selection to operate on juvenile growth rates. Our results indicate that selection on juvenile growth rate could account for differences in growth among populations but would not necessarily contribute to SSD within our population due to the high plasticity in growth rate.

Then take a look at consequences, got on audaciously accessible enlightening accumulations of ﬁnger print, iris, and 2nd cross up against, discovers that the proposed methodology is strikingly targeted differentiated and other decreasing function structures and that the check of the overall photograph nature of actual biometric exams reveals substantially simple insights this is most possibly used to element them from faux attributes.
Malaria: a moderate to fatal disease

Malaria is a major public health threat among the population across the world especially tropical and sub-tropical regions. It is caused by the infection of Plasmodium spp. present in the mid gut of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Approximately, only 1% of malaria infections are fatal but more than 0.4 million people die per year, predominantly young children. It is therefore important to consider why a subset of infected people develops severe syndromes and some of them die and what separates these cases from the rest that recovers. Below, in our understanding of malaria pathogenesis, we discuss advances made over the past decade, concentrating on the fatal human disease caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
Specific detection of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola DNA in bean seed by polymerase chain reaction-based amplification of a phaseolotoxin gene region

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is described for the specific detection of the bean halo blight pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola in bean seed. The method involves the amplification of a segment of the tox (phaseolotoxin) gene cluster (23). Two oligonucleotide primers, designed according to the sequence of this segment, allowed the exclusive amplification of a 1.9-kb fragment from total DNA extracted from pure cultures of the pathogen and from water extracts of soaked bean seed. The amplified segment was visually detected by ethidium bromide staining when the original samples contained approximately 10 3 colony-forming units (cfu) per milliliter and by Southern blot hybridization in DNA extracts from pure cultures of the pathogen that contained as few as 10 cfu/ml [. ]
EMOTION RECOGNITION USING FACIAL EXPRESSION ANALYSIS

Emotion recognition is a natural capability in human beings. However, if we are to ever create a humanoid “robot” that can interact and emote with its human companions, the difficult task of emotion recognition will have to be solved. The ability for a computer to recognize human emotion has many highly valuable real world applications. Consider the domain of therapy robots which are designed to provide care and comfort for infirm and disabled individuals. These machines could lever information on a patient’s current and evolving state of mind, in order to tailor personalized strategies for patient care and interaction. For example, when a patient is upset or unhappy, a more effective strategy may be take a moment to recognize the emotion and offer sympathy.
