THE EXPRESSION PATTERN OF PROSTAGLANDIN-ENDOPEROXIDE SYNTHASE-2 IN IMMATURE OOCYTES AND SURROUNDING CUMULUS CELLS MAY EXPLAIN A DISRUPTED OOCYTE MATURATION PROCESS

Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the gene expression of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 in the cumulus-oocyte complex with the level of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase-2 in follicular fluid and follicle diameter, oocyte maturation, and Rollators fertilization capacity.Study Design: As the study group, 26 cumulus-oocyte compl

Cooperative transmission is an emerging communication technology that takes advantage of the broadcast nature of wireless channels.In cooperative transmission, the use of relays can create a virtual antenna array so that multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) techniques can be employed.Most existing work in this area has focused on the situation in

Background and objectives: The Achilles tendon, the largest tendon in the body, is vulnerable to injury because of its limited blood supply and the combination of forces to which it is subjected.Given the relevance of the Achilles tendon in the proper function of the foot and ankle, the primary goal of the present study was to use a holistic approa

Different phoretic effects have been widely exploited for designing self-propelled colloidal systems, but the underlying wave vector dependent dynamics has been little investigated.In this work, Thermal Switches/Fuses the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of colloids in near-critical liquid mixtures undergoing spinodal phase separation was probed by x-ra

To coordinate Thermal Switches/Fuses multiple power sources properly, this paper presents an optimal control strategy for a fuel cell/battery/supercapacitor light rail vehicle.The proposed strategy, which uses the firefly algorithm to optimize the equivalent consumption minimization strategy, improves the drawback that the conventional equivalent c
