background and aims: cytomegalovirus (cmv) has worldwide distribution, and its prevalence rate depends on factors such as economic and geographical conditions. an important way of the virus transmission is via blood. due to high prevalence of anti-cmv antibodies in blood donors and lack of data concerning its seroprevalence in the region, this study was carried out to determine the prevalence r...

A fully connected deep neural network (FCDN) clear-sky mask (CSM) algorithm (FCDN_CSM) was developed to assist the FCDN-based Community Radiative Transfer Model (FCDN_CRTM) reproduce Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) radiances in five thermal emission M (TEB/M) bands. The model design referenced and enhanced from its earlier version (version 1), trained tested global ocean domai...

context worldwide prevalence of respiratory diseases, suffering from such diseases, and heavy cost of treatment, which all may result from lack of etiological understanding of these diseases in modern medicine, were the main factors to conduct the current study. in the present study, the causes and symptoms of asthma were evaluated and compared with those of some other respiratory diseases. ira...

Many morphokinetic parameters obtained from human embryos cultured in time-lapse imaging systems have been evaluated as biomarkers for optimal selection of with high implantation potential. However, it is not clear whether the variability among same cycle differ between cases successful and unsuccessful implantation. The purpose this study was to quantify compare women 1712 blastocysts generate...

The negative effect of the increased age and obesity on women’s fertility, natural conception assisted reproduction is already well known. To date, it still not fully clear how these important factors could influence different aspects embryo development morphokinetics. aim present study was to assess association between inter-embryo variability morphokinetic parameters patient body mass index (...

An overly complex urban climate/energy model would not be of much practical use in a decision support setting where large number year-long simulations are often necessary. While detailed modeling momentum/energy exchanges can attempted via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or mesoscale modeling, conducting multiple full year design optimization sensitivity analysis context is practically impos...

Quail is an alternative source of protein for humans. These birds can be affected by common bacterial infections. Bacterial contamination of egg is the most common cause of mortality in Japanese quail chicks. In order to study the role of some members of Enterobacteriaceae responsible for early mortality in Japanese quail chicks, 100 dead or moribund quail chicks were obtained from 10 different...
