Background/Objective: To evaluate factors which increase the chance of ovulation and pregnancy after laparoscopic ovarian electerocauterization (LEC) in Clomiphene Citrate (CC) resistant polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients.Methods: An experimental prospective study was carried out in the infertility division of a university teaching hospital. Two hundred and ninety-nine women with PCOS ...

Duration Calculus (DC) is a real-time logic with measurement of duration of propositions in observation intervals. It is a highly expressive logic with continuous time behaviours (also called signals) as its models. Validity checking of DC is undecidable. We propose a method for validity checking of Duration Calculus by reduction to a sampled time version of this logic called well sampled Inter...

Obstetricians use a unique form of classification of diabetes in pregnancy originally proposed by Dr. Priscilla White. The system was designed to estimate the prognosis for pregnancy outcome for women with diabetes who become pregnant. White first described her classification system in a report entitled, “Pregnancy Complicating Diabetes.” The prognostic system was based on the observation that ...

We generate space-time coupled attosecond pulse trains with a 1.8 μm wavelength laser pulse using the ‘attosecond lighthouse’ technique. We show low divergence, spatially well-separated beamlets from low ionization potential gas media. We also find that there is little long trajectory contribution—only the short trajectory contribution is clearly visible for any beamlet. These results open a ne...

This work describes a cryogenic, electro-optically -switched Yb:YAG laser that generates 114-W average TEM power with 47% optical-to-optical efficiency. Pulse repetition frequency is 5 kHz, pulse duration is 16 ns full-width at half-maximum, and is less than 1.05.
