A study of charm fragmentation into D + s and D + s in e + e ? annihilations at p s = 10:5 GeV is presented. This study using 4:720:05 fb ?1 of CLEO II data reports measurements of the cross-sections (D + s) and (D + s) in momentum regions above x = 0:44, where x is the D s momentum divided by the maximum kinematically allowed D s momentum. The D s vector to vector plus pseu-doscalar production...

logistic regression (lr) was used to model urban growth between the years 1987 and 2001 in gorgan city, north east of iran. three groups of variables including economic-social, land use and biophysical variables were used in the modeling practice. using covariance of the independent variables, distance to administrative and sporting centers plus distance to cities were removed. roc (relative op...

semen analysis, sperm dna fragmentation (sdf) and hypo-osmotic swelling test (host) are usually performed for the evaluation of sperm fertilizing ability. there are some debates over the necessity of sdf and host incorporation in male infertility work-up.semen of 77 men was evaluated by sdf and host through three semen analyses. sperm parameters were arranged into different categories: < 5%, 5-...

objective: evaluation of the effects of different doses of antioxidant taurine on oxidative stress and human sperm parameters following cryopreservation. materials and methods: the semen of 20 fertile men were divided to 5 aliquot, one part considered as a fresh after analysis of standard semen parameters (motility, abnormal morphology, viability) and protamine deficiency, dna damage and measu...

iran is one of the countries facing the most severe farmland fragmentation (ff) in rural areas and farmland consolidation (fc) is generally regarded as being a suitable instrument to solve this problem . a case study in the central area of iran was conducted to explore landholder's attitudes towards issues related to ff and fc. randomized stratified sampling frame was used to select 146 landhol...

background: human sperm cryopreservation has proven to be very valuable. cryopreservation has effects on function, morphology and percentage of fertilization capacity of human sperm. also, it has been revealed that cryopreservation has a role in sperm dna fragmentation and infertility. in this study, viability, motility, dna fragmentation and for the first time, intracellular nitric oxide asses...

Abstract We consider the inverse problem of determining fragmentation rate from noisy measurements in growth-fragmentation equation. use Fourier transform theory on locally compact groups to treat this for general probabilities. develop a regularization method based spectral filtering, which allows us deal with weighted <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" ...

in order to analyse the effective factors contributing to land fragmentation, required data ‎were collected by questionnaire from 151 farmers who were selected through a stratified random ‎sampling design from 12 villages of ramjerd yek subdistrict of marvdasht country. factor analysis ‎was used to identity explanatory factors of land fragmentation. the variables of natural-farming, ‎socio-cult...

The aim of this report has been evaluating protamine content and DNA integrity of two patients with globozoospermia undergoing Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). Semen analysis was carried out according to WHO criteria. Protamine deficiency and DNA fragmentation was assessed using Chromomycin A3 and sperm chromatin dispersion assay respectively. ICSI and chemical activation were carried ...
