Background To compare the pregnancy outcomes after two embryos versus three embryos transfers (ETs) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. MaterialsAndMethods This retrospective study was performed on three hundred eighty seven women with primary infertility and with at least one fresh embryo in good quality in order to transfer at each ...

Many methods have been proposed for making use of multiple experts to predict uncertain events such as election outcomes, ranging from simple averaging of individual predictions to complex collaborative structures such as prediction markets or structured group decision making processes.

Ten years ago, Dobrushin [1] proved a beautiful result showing that under suitable hypotheses, a statistical mechanical lattice system interaction has a unique equilibrium state. In particular, there is no long range order, etc. see [6,7] for related material, Israel [4] for analyticity results and Gross [3] for falloff of correlations. There does not appear to have been systematic attempts to ...

Consider a politician who has to take two sequential decisions during his term in office. For each decision, the politician faces a trade-off between taking what he believes to be the decision that generates a public benefit, thus increasing his chances of re-election, and taking the decision that increases his private gain but is likely to decrease his chances of re-election. In our results we...
