Background: Varicocele is commonly existed among infertile men and causes testis damage. Disorder of spermatogenesis was observed in varicocele individuals and leads to low quality sperm parameters and chromatin damage. Chromatin damage plays a critical role in pregnancy outcomes through in vitro or in vivo fertilization. Varicocelectomy considered as standard treatment of clinical varicocele. ...

analytical detection of cracking in connections of steel moment resisting frames using simple damage indices is important since these cracks are not visible unless the connections are uncovered. in this paper, applicability of three cumulative damage indices for detection of cracking in a cover plate welded moment connection is investigated. the damage indices considered in this study are based...
