A technique for rescue task in bore well environment has been proposed. India is facing a distressed cruel situation where in the previous years a number of child deaths have been reported falling in the bore well. As the diameter of the bore well is quiet narrow for any adult person and the lights goes dark inside it, the rescue task in those situations is a challenging task. Here we are propo...

Background/aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency in vitro embryo splitting (IES) procedures. We also assessed quality blastocysts developed from embryos obtained different sources. Materials and methods: Good at 6-8-cell stages were categorized according their fertilization sources: 1) frozenwarmed donated embryos, 2) chromosomally abnormal 3) parthenogenetic 4) derived matu...

A basic task of rescue robot systems is mapping of the environment. Localizing injured persons, guiding rescue workers and excavation equipment requires a precise 3D map of the environment. This paper presents a new 3D laser range finder and novel scan matching method for the robot Kurt3D [9]. Compared to previous machinery [12], the apex angle is enlarged to 360◦. The matching is based on sema...

Specification of the dorsoventral axis is a subject of great importance in amphibian embryogenesis. We have found that cytoplasm of the vegetal dorsal cells of a 16-cell embryo of Xenopus laevis, when injected into the ventral vegetal cells of a recipient at the same stage, can induce formation of a second axis. In the present experiments,using the same assay procedure, we found that the cytopl...

the use of donated embryos has offered hope for infertile couples who have no other means to have children. in iran, fertility centers use fertile couples as embryo donors. in this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of this procedure will be discussed. we conclude that embryo-donation should be performed with frozen embryos thus preventing healthy donors from being harmed by fertility drug...
