New semen quality scores developed by principal component analysis of semen characteristics.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether semen characteristics can be reduced to 2 semen quality (SQ) scores and whether these new scores can help the clinician in assessing the reproductive outcome. A cross-sectional sample of 250 patients seeking infertility treatment were analyzed for semen characteristics. In addition, 177 male-factor patients (prostatitis with infection, n = 40; ...
متن کاملQuality analysis of commercial samples of Ziziphi spinosae semen (suanzaoren) by means of chromatographic fingerprinting assisted by principal component analysis
Due to the scarcity of resources of Ziziphi spinosae semen (ZSS), many inferior goods and even adulterants are generally found in medicine markets. To strengthen the quality control, HPLC fingerprint common pattern established in this paper showed three main bioactive compounds in one chromatogram simultaneously. Principal component analysis based on DAD signals could discriminate adulterants a...

produce a measure of relative differences in each country. The figure combines the data for neonatal and postneonatal mortality and shows that England and Wales have a steeper and more consistent gradient of mortality across social classes than Sweden. The width of the "steps" is proportional to each class's share of total live births. The differences in total mortality and its socioeconomic di...
متن کاملAssessment of Post-1haw Semen Quality of Buffalo and Sahiw Al Bulls Using New Semen Assays
Different semen assays were employed to determine the post -thaw fitness of buffalo and Sahiwal bull spermatozoa. Semen (two ejaculates) was collected from buffalo and Sahiwal bulls (six each) once a week for three consecutive weeks. Semen was diluted in lactose-fructose-egg yolk glycerol extender, equilibrated at 4 ac for 4 hr and frozen in liquid nitrogen vapors. A highly significant differen...
متن کاملCompression of Breast Cancer Images By Principal Component Analysis
The principle of dimensionality reduction with PCA is the representation of the dataset ‘X’in terms of eigenvectors ei ∈ RN of its covariance matrix. The eigenvectors oriented in the direction with the maximum variance of X in RN carry the most relevant information of X. These eigenvectors are called principal components [8]. Ass...
