Since its founding, NASA has been dedicated to the advancement of aeronautics and space science. The NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI) Program Office plays a key part in helping NASA maintain this important role. The NASA STI Program Office is operated by Langley Research Center, the lead center for NASAÕs scientific and technical information. The NASA STI Program Office provides ...

According to international guidelines, fitness to dive is generally assessed using a bicycle stress test (BST) in air. To date, there is no study explicitly addressing the question whether the results of a BST in air really predict performance status under water. Therefore, the aim of the present study was twofold: first, to design an experimental setting allowing the examination of physical pe...

In this work we aim to reduce the test time on the ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) by taking advantage of the peak power limit. We determine the clock period for each test cycle based on the energy dissipated per cycle to generate an asynchronous clock. This increases the power per cycle of the test with a reduction in the total test time. The methodology is verified using ISCAS’89 sequential be...

Background One determining factor of a successful IVF cycle is embryo quality. The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate the associations between markers of ovarian reserve and ovarian response and embryo quality MaterialsAndMethods One hundred and twenty infertile women, aged 21-44 years, undergoing routine exploration during an unstimulated cycle that preceded ART at our center...
