Background and Objective: Hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy are common and from one of the deadly triad, along with hemorrhage and infection that contribute greatly to prenatal and maternal morbidity and mortality in the developing countries. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between maternal hypothyroidism and pre-eclampsia. Materials and Methods: In a pro...

Let P ⊂ R be a set of n points in the d dimensions such that each point p ∈ P has an associated radius rp > 0. The transmission graph G for P is the directed graph with vertex set P such that there is an edge from p to q if and only if d(p, q) ≤ rp, for any p, q ∈ P . A reachability oracle is a data structure that decides for any two vertices p, q ∈ G whether G has a path from p to q. The quali...

Background: Cryopreservation of pre-antral follicles is a hopeful technique to preserve female fertility. The aim of the present study was to evaluate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels of mouse vitrified pre-antral follicles in the presence of alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Methods: Isolated pre-antral follicles (140–150 µm in diameter) were divided into vitrif...

We present a new way of analyzing Contraction Hierarchies (CH), a widely used speed-up technique for shortest path computations in road networks. In previous work, preprocessing and query times of deterministically constructed CH on road networks with n nodes were shown to be polynomial in n as well as the highway dimension h of the network and its diameter D. While h is conjectured to be polyl...
