Is overall performance of an AI-based embryo evaluation model improved by including discarded embryos during training compared to using only transferred with known implantation data (KID)? A set 14,643 KID fetal heart (4,337 FH+ and 10,307 FH-) incubated for at least 4 days was obtained from 18 different clinics. The also included 23,674 either cryopreserved or unknown FH 101,153 that were thus...

The human chromokinesin Kid/kinesin-10, a plus end-directed microtubule (MT)-based motor with both microtubule- and DNA-binding domains, is required for proper chromosome alignment at the metaphase plate. Here, we performed RNA interference experiments to deplete endogenous Kid from HeLa cells and confirmed defects in metaphase chromosome arm alignment in Kid-depleted cells. In addition, we not...

We report the case of a 17-year-old girl with keratitis, ichthyosis, and deafness (KID) syndrome. As a complication of her KID syndrome she developed squamous cell carcinoma at the left index finger. Additional clinical features were multiple soft tissue lesions over the scalp mimicking metastatic disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT. To our knowledge, this is the first case report about the uptake patter...

twenty four primiparous and multiparous holstein cows on early lactation, beginning five weeks postpartum, were used for four weeks to investigate the effects of supplemention of rumen-protected choline (rpc) or vitamin e on milk yield, milk composition, dry matter intake, body condition score and body weight. the cows were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments: i)no supplement (...

Toward the end of mitosis, neighboring chromosomes gather closely to form a compact cluster. This is important for reassembling the nuclear envelope around the entire chromosome mass but not individual chromosomes. By analyzing mice and cultured cells lacking the expression of chromokinesin Kid/kinesin-10, we show that Kid localizes to the boundaries of anaphase and telophase chromosomes and co...

Gary Becker's \Rotten Kid Theorem" asserts that if all family members receive gifts of money income from a benevolent household member, then even if the household head does not precommit to an incentive plan for family members, it will be in the interest of sel sh family members to maximize total family income. We show by examples that the Rotten Kid theorem is not true without assuming transfe...

The objective of this work is to determine if people are interacting in TV video by detecting whether they are looking at each other or not. We determine both the temporal period of the interaction and also spatially localize the relevant people. We make the following three contributions: (i) head pose estimation in unconstrained scenarios (TV video) using Gaussian Process regression; (ii) prop...

The use of computers is increasing in mathematics education. This trend is supported by the NCTM standards and computational power applicable in mathematical curricula. As part of CAI software, Linear Kid was designed, developed and evaluated reflecting upon NCTM standards. Linear Kid is a computer-based peer tutoring system where students become active learners who are guided to learn by teach...

A total of 25 preruminant Granadina breed goats were used. They were bottle-fed goat milk ad libitum from postnatal day 3 to 28. Until the age of 3 d, kids were fed colostrum. Body weight, pancreas weight, total protein concentration, enzyme activities in pancreatic tissue and hormone concentrations (cortisol, gastrin, T3 and T4) were determined at 3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 d of age. Our results show...
