BackgroundOvarian reserve and normal oocyte ploidy are inversely correlated to maternal age. However, the effects of ovarian aging on blastocyst conversion rates is not clearly described in literature. Age-specific data this topic would be useful when counseling patients after an embryo cryopreservation cycle.ObjectiveTo determine blastulation cycles which yield at least one cryopreserved usabl...

Let Ω ⊂ R, n ≥ 2, be a bounded domain with smooth boundary. Consider utt −4xu+ q(x, t)u = 0 in Ω× [0, T ] u(x, 0) = 0, ut(x, 0) = 0 if x ∈ Ω u(x, t) = f(x, t) on ∂Ω× [0, T ] We show that if u and f are known on ∂Ω× [0, T ], for all f ∈ C∞ 0 (∂Ω× [0, T ]), then q(x, t) may be reconstructed on C = { (x, t) : x∈Ω, 0 < t < T, x− tω & x+ (T − t)ω 6∈ Ω ∀ ω ∈ R, |ω| = 1 } provided q is known at all po...
