P-201: Prevalence of 4977bp Deletion in Mitochondrial DNA in IVF Failure Women

Background: Successful IVF process is limited by factors such as oocyte quality. Oocyte quality can be defined as its abilities to be fertilized, mature and give rise to normal offspring and it is dependent on nuclear maturation and cytoplasm maturation. Damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been described in oocytes in IVF failure women that decrease cytoplasmic quality because Mitochondria ...

Control-Based Quality Adaptation in Data Stream Management Systems

Unlike processing snapshot queries in a traditional DBMS, the processing of continuous queries in a data stream management system (DSMS) needs to satisfy quality requirements such as processing delay. When the system is overloaded, quality degrades significantly thus load shedding becomes necessary. Maintaining the quality of queries is a difficult problem because both the processing cost and d...

O-9: The Central Role of Mitochondrial Function in Quality of Human Oocyte

Background: Mitochondria are the most aboudent and small essential organelles found in eukaryotic cells. These are semiautonomous organelles for the production of cellular ATP that through its various biochemical pathways. The primary pathway for ATP production is OXPHOS via the electron transfer chain (ETC) which is encoded by nuclear DNA and mtdna genomes. Mitochondria consist of double stran...
