BackgroundOvarian reserve and normal oocyte ploidy are inversely correlated to maternal age. However, the effects of ovarian aging on blastocyst conversion rates is not clearly described in literature. Age-specific data this topic would be useful when counseling patients after an embryo cryopreservation cycle.ObjectiveTo determine blastulation cycles which yield at least one cryopreserved usabl...

The paper “The Approximability of the Exemplar Breakpoint Distance Problem” [1], which appeared in AAIM 2006, contained several negative results and one positive result — a claimed O(log n)factor greedy approximation for the One-sided Exemplar Breakpoint Distance Problem. Here, we show that the analysis was incorrect and the approximation factor of the greedy algorithm could be Θ(n), where n is...
