Objective Background: Oxidative stress as a potential cause of poor oocyte quality can influence female reproduction. This study aimed to investigate the effects of melatonin on chemical pregnancy rates of a significant number of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). MaterialsAndMethods Materials and Methods: In this randomized double-blinded clin...

The e-government field, like most young fields, lacks a strong body of well-developed theory. One strategy for coping with theoretical immaturity is to import and adapt theories from other, more mature fields. This study reviews Stakeholder Theory (ST) and investigates its potential in relation to e-Government. Originally a management theory, stakeholder theory advocates addressing the concerns...

Introduction In Western Canada the application of CO2 injection for enhanced, ‘tertiary’ oil recovery is a relatively recent addition to the arsenal available to reservoir engineers. The first successful application of CO2 as a miscible fluid in Western Canada began in 1984 at Joffre Field, a Cretaceous marine siliciclastic reservoir in southern Alberta. A significant portion of the remaining p...

This paper has not been published elsewhere and it has not been submitted simultaneously elsewhere. 2 ABSTRACT In this editorial we briefly discuss interaction between two important areas of artificial intelligence: Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML). Although the two fields have a long-standing tradition and can be considered technologically mature, past research in applying ML tec...

Research has been done within the South African information technology (IT) industry over the last decade with regard to project management maturity (PMM) and the impact it has on delivering information systems (IS) projects successfully. The research was done to determine whether IS PMM per knowledge area has improved over the last decade. It investigates if there is a correlation between matu...

This paper presents a case-study of a Configuration Management (CM) tool evaluation. The evaluation was performed in a company with a long tradition of using CM tools. Although several generations of CM tools have been developed internally, different reasons led to a decision not to use CM tools internally developed but to buy a tool available on the market. A detailed evaluation was performed ...

By using the index data from 14 countries with relatively mature higher education development in UNESCO database, this paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation system for health status of 2010 to 2019. establishing “vision” model, optimal level under five dimensions current is established.By comparing scores China and other dimensions, it found that there still large gap between China’s wor...

Machine learning is a promising technique for many practical applications. In this perspective, we illustrate the development and application for machine learning. It is indicated that the theories and applications of machine learning method in the field of energy conservation and indoor environment are not mature, due to the difficulty of the determination for model structure with better predi...

The cellular heterogeneity and complex circuitry of the central nervous system make it difficult to achieve precise delivery of experimental and therapeutic agents. We report here an in vivo retrograde gene delivery strategy to target mature projection neurons using adeno-associated virus, a vector with low toxicity and the capacity for long-term gene expression. Viral delivery to axon terminal...

BACKGROUND The study has been performed to investigate the influence of pulsed magnetic field on the bone growth plates to get new grounds of magneto therapy in AIS treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Were used methods of "strong" and "weak" pulsed magnetic fields influence. RESULTS Application of pulsed magnetic field causes an authentic inhibition of chondrocytes' active proliferation proces...
