Background Recent researches reveal that manual puncturing of the trophectoderm of blastocyst before vitrification, increase the quality of embryo. However, in any of these studies, the importance of blastocoelic fluid and its impact on the formation of three cell lines is not mentioned. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of blastocoelic fluid reduction before vitrification on survival...

Unalleviated voltage instability frequently results in collapse; which is a cause of concern power system networks across the globe but particularly developing countries. This study proposed an online collapse prediction model through application machine learning technique and stability index called new line (NLSI_1). The approach based on multilayer feed-forward neural network whose inputs are...

In view of the increasing advances in our knowledge of pulmonary tuberculosis it is indeed timely that we should, while none the less maintaining a progressive outlook, 'go wisely and slow-they stumble that run faster.' In other words, we should now pause to assess the situation in so far as the position of artificial pneumothorax in the sphere of collapse therapy is concerned, and ask ourselve...

We analyze publicly available data on Affymetrix microarrays spike-in experiments on the human HGU133 chipset in which sequences are added in solution at known concentrations. The spike-in set contains sequences of bacterial, human and artificial origin. Our analysis is based on a recently introduced molecular-based model [E. Carlon and T. Heim, Physica A 362, 433 (2006)] which takes into accou...

Can archaeologists help software engineers unravel what has been happening in an artificial society of intelligent agents? We discuss the methods that archaeologists regularly use and how they relate to the properties of an artificial society and the problems faced in recovering its history. As part of the discussion, an abstract model of a typical artificial society is presented, the structure...

This paper presents dynamic voltage collapse prediction on an actual power system using support vector machines. Dynamic voltage collapse prediction is first determined based on the PTSI calculated from information in dynamic simulation output. Simulations were carried out on a practical 87 bus test system by considering load increase as the contingency. The data collected from the time domain ...

We analyse the performance of twelve different implementations of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) using seven tests designed to isolate key hydrodynamic elements of cosmological simulations which are known to cause the SPH algorithm problems. In order, we consider a shock tube, spherical adiabatic collapse, cooling flow model, drag, a cosmological simulation, rotating cloud-collapse and d...

THERE is no form of treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis in which such rapid progress has occurred in recent years as collapse therapy. While it came into general use in this country in the form of artificial pneumothorax about 1912, it was only used in the exceptional case for some years. During the writer's experience its use has extended from a small percent of cases with ideal indications t...
