diminished ovarian reserve (dor) significantly decreases the success rate of the assisted reproductive technique (art). in this study, we assessed the effect of melatonin on the art outcomes in women with dor. a double-blinded, randomized, clinical trial was performed on 80 women with dor as a pilot study in shiraz, between 2014 and 2015. dor was defined as the presence of 2 of the following 3 ...

introduction:we evaluated the performance of muscle perfusion scan (mps) to assess muscle perfusion reserve (mpr) for prediction of incident diabetic foot ulcerations (dfu). methods: we recruited 41 diabetic patients without any history of dfu. five mci 99mtc-mibi was injected intravenously during repetitive dorsal and plantar right foot flexions. then posterior calves were imaged and the count...

in this paper, we will review the foreign exchange market and will try to extract an exchange market pressure and an intervention index for iran by following the weymark (1995) approach to evaluate the central bank of iran’s exchange rate policy during 1368:q1 to 1391:q3. the estimation method employed, is the econometric technique known in the literature as the two-stage least squares (2sls).t...

wind power generation is variable and uncertain. in the power systems with high penetration of wind power, determination of equivalent operating reserve is the main concern of systems operator. in this paper, a model is proposed to determine operating reserves in simultaneous market clearing of energy and reserve by stochastic programming based on scenarios generated via monte carlo simulation ...

objective: the aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of ovarian reserve tests, mainly basal and clomiphene stimulated follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) concentrations. materials and methods : a prospective cohort study was conductedon 120 infertile patients referring to mirza koochak khan hospital for ivffrom 2004 to 2006. all the patients underwent clomiphene citrate challenge test (cc...

The fisheries and biodiversity benefits of marine reserves are widely recognised but there is mounting interest in exploiting the importance of herbivorous fishes as a tool to help ecosystems recover from climate change impacts. This approach might be particularly suitable for coral reefs, which are acutely threatened by climate change, yet the trophic cascades generated by reserves are strong ...

The payment functions of central banks vary among nations. Some central banks provide only limited payment services, such as issuing and redeeming currency and facilitating settlement among members of payments systems by transferring reserve balances.1 In the United States, the Federal Reserve has been a provider of payment services since the early 1900s. By 1918, the Fed had acquired a large s...

low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the main problems in saline areas. seed priming technique has been known as a challenge to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environmental stress. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with gibberellin, nacl and water on seed germination and seed reserve utilization and germination...

Abstract This paper considers a variant of the classical Cramér–Lundberg model that is particularly appropriate in credit context, with distinguishing feature it corresponds to finite number obligors. The focus on computing ruin probability, i.e. probability initial reserve, increased by interest received from obligors and decreased losses due defaults, drops below zero. As well as an exact ana...
