OBJECTIVE To evaluate correlations between serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, and metabolic parameters in patients with PCOS. METHODS A total of 175 patients with PCOS were diagnosed according to the Rotterdam Consensus were included. Exclusion criteria were age over 40, FSH>25 mIU/mL, and 17a-OHP>1.5 ng/mL. The Phenotypes of PC...

Institute of Computational Modeling SB RAS, Academgorodok, Krasnoyarsk, Russia, 660036 e-mail: [email protected], phone +7 3912 495382 Abstract Risk measures are widely used in insurance pricing, portfolio selection, and in decision-making in general. Two prevalent classes of risk measures are expected utility (a dollar transform), and distorted probability (a probability transform). Both appro...

the increasing processes of body and heart weight, the index changes of heart to body weight ratio and of heart walls thickness (ventricular and inter ventricular) were studied on 160 goat fetuses (2groups male and female) from 7 to 22 week ages (at the first to the end of fetal period). data analysis in spss and by anov a showed that the influence of age in all of 6 studied parameters was sign...

Recent work on Stochastic Local Search (SLS) for the SAT and CSP domains has shown the superior performance of SLS over traditional backtracking algorithms on a broad range of problem instances. In this paper, we report on a technique for enhancing the performance of SLS solvers by incorporating a preprocessing phase in which resolution is used to deduce consequences of the input clauses, expos...

The effects of alveolar grafting on the development of the craniofacial complex have been reported by numerous investigators. The reported results vary in the literature from significant to very little impediment of maxillary growth. The present work evaluates and compares facial form at age six years in complete unilateral cleft lip and palate patients treated with presurgical orthopedic corre...

We consider exact F tests for the hypothesis of null random factor effect in the presence of interaction under the two factor mixed models involved in the mixed models controversy. We show that under the constrained parameter (CP) model, even in unbalanced data situations, MSB/MSE (in the usual ANOV A notation) follows an exact F distribution when the null hypothesis holds. We also obtain an ex...

COMPARA TIVE LINEAR ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF CONE BEAM CT DERIVED 2-DIMENSIONAL AND 3-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES CONSTRUCTED USING AN ORTHODONTIC VOLUMETRIC RENDERING PROGRAM. Danielle R. Periago, D.M.D. June 12, 2007 The purpose of this project was to compare the accuracy and reliability of linear measurements made on 2D projections and 3D reconstructions using Dolphin 3D software (Chatsworth, CA) ...

Growing evidence suggests an alerting effect of monochromatic blue light on brain activity. Little is known about the moderation of those effects by timing and duration of exposure. The present electroencephalography (EEG ) study examined such moderations on delta, theta, alpha1, alpha2, and beta EEG bands. A counterbalanced repeated-measures design was applied. The 16-hr daytime period was div...
