Monte Carlo Simulations of Sexual Reproduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
Modifying the Redfield model of sexual reproduction and the Penna model of biological aging, we compare reproduction with and without recombination in age-structured populations. In contrast to Redfield and in agreement with Bernardes we find sexual reproduction to be preferred to asexual one.

Catastrophic senescence of the Pacific salmon without mutation-accumulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We derive catastrophic senescence of the Pacific salmon from an aging model which was recently proposed by Stauffer. The model is based on the postulates of a minimum reproduction age and a maximal genetic lifespan. It allows for self-organization of a typical age of first reproduction and a typical age of death.

Computation of the basic reproduction numbers for reaction-diffusion epidemic models

open access: yesMathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE, 2023
We consider a class of k-dimensional reaction-diffusion epidemic models (k=1,2,⋯) that are developed from autonomous ODE systems. We present a computational approach for the calculation and analysis of their basic reproduction numbers.

Current Fertility Knowledge of Senior High School Students, Infertile Patients, and Medical Staff at an Infertility Clinic in Japan

open access: yesFertility & Reproduction, 2023
Background: In a survey on fertility knowledge published in 2013 (Cardiff Fertility Knowledge Scale [CFKS]), Japan ranked 78th among 79 countries. This finding encouraged the Japanese government to revise the curriculum for sex education in 2015.

A 150 kDa Protein Derived from Bull Seminal Plasma Extended the Survival Time of Kacang Goat Sperm Stored at 5°C

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine International, 2021
Artificial insemination has proven to be an effective method for increasing population size and genetic quality of Kacang goats. However, innovation is required to maintain the quality of Kacang goat semen in storage.

Cryopreservation of rabbit semen: impacts of permeable and non-permeable mixture of cryoprotectant, male group individuality, freezing rate, semen package size and antioxidant bovine serum albumin on rabbit semen freezability

open access: yesWorld Rabbit Science, 2022
In the present study, three experiments were designed to identify the most appropriate technique for freezing rabbit semen. Experiment 1 aimed to determine the optimal levels of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) contents in freezing medium and their effects on ...

Bull spermatozoa selected by thermotaxis exhibit high DNA integrity, specific head morphometry, and improve ICSI outcome

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Sperm migration by thermotaxis is a guidance mechanism that operates along the oviduct and it has proved to be a valid method for selecting spermatozoa with low DNA fragmentation (SDF) in mice, humans, and stallions.
