two experiments were designed to examine the effects of crude seminal plasma (csp) exposure ofejaculated and epididymal spermatozoa before freezing. experiment 1, two consecutive ejaculates werecollected (n=4) within 5 min, the second one was carried out in a tube containing fiser extender (coatedspermatozoa); by centrifugation, seminal plasma was removed from coated ejaculates. the pellets wer...

Abstract Existing methods cannot accurately establish the joint output probabilistic model of Wind-PV-CSP multi-energy complementary generation system. Therefore, based on analysis correlation and complementarity among wind power, PV, CSP output, a method establishing probability system by using Copula theory Gaussian mixture is proposed. Considering operational history data CSP, function betwe...

Proteases of the caspase family play a central role in the execution of programmed cell death in all metazoans examined. The Caenorhabditis elegans caspase CED-3 is essential for programmed cell death in this organism. Three additional C. elegans caspase-related genes, csp-1 (caspase homolog-1), which encodes the csp-1A, csp-1B, and csp-1C RNA species; csp-2, which encodes the csp-2A and csp-2B...

We present empirical evidence that the distribution of effort required to solve CSPs randomly generated at the 50% satisfiable point, when using a backtracking algorithm, can be approximated by two standard families of continuous probability distribution functions. Solvable problems can be modelled by the Weibull distribution, and unsolvable problems by the lognormal distribution. These distrib...
