obesity influences semen quality by hormonal imbalance. therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of moderate and intensive aerobic training on obese male rats' reproductive function. 30 obese male rats were assigned to moderate training (n=10), intensive training (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. a matched control group of normal weight rats (n=10) were also recruited for...

Let $G$ be a weighted digraph, $s$ and $t$ be two vertices of $G$, and $t$ is reachable from $s$. The logical $s$-$t$ min-cut (LSTMC) problem states how $t$ can be made unreachable from $s$ by removal of some edges of $G$ where (a) the sum of weights of the removed edges is minimum and (b) all outgoing edges of any vertex of $G$ cannot be removed together. If we ignore the second constraint, ca...

this study was designed to compare the effectiveness of different activation treatments for activation of in vitro matured oocytes and their developmental potency in mcr2aa medium so as to obtain maximum number of embryos. a total of 1090 cumulus oocyte complexes (coc’s) were collected from 480 ovaries. in vitro matured oocytes were randomly divided into four groups. group 1 in vitro matured oo...

A distributed system is a software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. Most of the existing solutions on task scheduling and resource management in distributed computing environment are based on the traditional client/ server model, enforcing a homogeneous policy on making decisions and limiting the flexibility,...

The idea of k-adaptability in two-stage robust optimization is to calculate a fixed number k of second-stage policies here-and-now. After the actual scenario is revealed, the best of these policies is selected. This idea leads to a min-max-min problem. In this paper, we consider the case where no first stage variables exist and propose to use this approach to solve combinatorial optimization pr...
