background: pregnancy rate with ivf cycle is almost 22%. many investigations perform to increase this rate in ivf. various factors affect the result of ivf cycles. one of these factors could be uterine contractions that expel transferred embryo. ritodrine is a beta mimetic agent that can block and decrease uterine contractions. objective: the objective of this study was to determine ritodrine e...

vascularization of the follicle may play a role in its maturation and aspirin seems to increase this vascularization.in this investigation we have studied the effects of low-dose aspirin on ovarian and uterine response, implantation and pregnancy rates in patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi). this prospective semirandomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was unde...

In this study, we compared four expert graders with latent semantic analysis (LSA) to assess short summaries of an expository text. As is well known, there are technical difficulties for LSA to establish a good semantic representation when analyzing short texts. In order to improve the reliability of LSA relative to human graders, we analyzed three new algorithms by two holistic methods used in...

One interesting path for designing software for vocabulary acquisition and assessment could be games. In this article we present PtiClic, a lexical game based on the principles behind JeuxDeMots and combined with LSA. Such a game can foster the interest of young people in developing lexical skills in either a tutored or an open environment.

Malignant change developing in lichen sclerosus et atrophicus is rare in men. A case is described in a 39-year-old man.

We develop the basic theory of hod mice below the Largest Suslin Axiom (LSA), which says that the largest Suslin cardinal is a member of the Solovay sequence. We also prove comparison theorem for such hod mice in the context of AD+. This is the first paper in planned sequence of three papers that eventually will establish that Mouse Set Conjecture holds provided there is no inner model satisfyi...

The current study explores a set of variables that have the potential to predict semantic priming effects for 300 prime-target associates at the item level. Young and older adults performed either lexical decision (LDT) or naming tasks. A multiple regression procedure was used to predict priming based upon prime characteristics, target characteristics, and prime-target semantic similarity. Resu...

This is the report of a 38-year-old man with unilateral dermatomal hyperhidrosis documented by a starch-iodine technique; a subsequent diagnosis was made of a generalized pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The association of unilateral hyperhidrosis and a malignant tumor is reviewed.

This paper focuses on the technological characteristics of Keilmesser with a lateral tranchet blow modification on the cutting edge. It examines the underlying technological production of these bifacial objects: this implies the evaluation of their working stage succession, as well as produced forms necessary for the execution of tranchet blow performance. Furthermore, it offers a techno-morpho...

The response properties and receptive field organization of 106 LSA neurons were investigated in pretrigeminal preparations using moving dark and bright stimuli with particular reference to the dynamic and static structure of receptive fields. About 61percent neurons revealed equal sensitivity to the motions of dark and bright stimuli. A majority of them had an ON-OFF static structure of recept...
