I-26: Fertility Preservation

Infertility is a very disastrous side effect in young females, especially in traditional male-dominated societies. The aim of this talk is to discuss the possible ways for fertility preservation in both man and woman. Another aspect is to how to predict women at threat of premature ovarian failure. It will also illustrate the association of cytochrome P450 (CYP2C19) polymorphism with ovarian to...

As we saw at the beginning of this course, the exponential growth of errors iterating a chaotic dynamical system implies that a computer generated trajectory from some initial condition will rapidly diverge from the true orbit due to truncation errors or approximations in the numerical integration scheme, so that after a relatively short time the computer generated orbit will have no correlatio...

Landscape fragmentation can be a major threat to the persistence of species with very specific habitat and area requirements (e.g., Wilcove et al., 1986). Such a species is the northern spotted owl (Strix occidentalis caurina), whose populations are experiencing fragmentation at a number of spatial scales. The analyses we discuss here focus on the geographic scale (Lord and Norton. 1990) and ar...
