Repeatability and Phenotypic Correlation Among Semen Quality Traits in Holstein Bulls [PDF]
The purpose of this research was to analysis the value of repeatability and correlation among the traits affecting the production of frozen semen from Holstein’s bull in Indonesia. Repeatability and correlation were calculated based on the data of frozen

Unlinkability of an Improved Key Agreement Protocol for EMV 2nd Gen Payments [PDF]
To address known privacy problems with the EMV standard, EMVCo have proposed a Blinded Diffie-Hellman key establishment protocol, which is intended to be part of a future 2nd Gen EMV protocol. We point out that active attackers were not previously accounted for in the privacy requirements of this proposal protocol, and demonstrate that an active ...

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...

The semen microbiome and its relationship with local immunology and viral load in HIV infection [PDF]
Semen is a major vector for HIV transmission, but the semen HIV RNA viral load (VL) only correlates moderately with the blood VL. Viral shedding can be enhanced by genital infections and associated inflammation, but it can also occur in the absence of ...

Asymptotics of the conformal modulus of a nonsymmetric unbounded doubly-connected domain under stretching [PDF]
We describe the asymptotic behavior of the conformal modulus of an unbounded doubly-connected domain, non-symmetric with respect to the coordinate axes, when stretched in the direction of the abscissa axis with coefficient $H\to +\infty$. Therefore, we give a partial answer to a problem, suggested by M.~Vourinen, for the case of an arbitrary unbounded ...

Chicken semen cryopreservation and use for the restoration of rare genetic resources
&NA; For the past 50 yr, practices for ex situ preservation of endangered breeds have been extended. Semen and primordial germ cells, gonadic tissues have been frozen to create genetic stocks of chicken genetic diversity in cryobanks.

NONSPERM CELLS IN HUMAN SEMEN AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH SEMEN PARAMETERS [PDF]
The prevalence and clinical significance of leukocytes (WBC) and immature germ cells in semen is currently a matter of controversy. The aim of this work was to assess the prevalence of leukocytospermia in semen samples from Venezuelan men and its possible effects on sperm parameters.

A comparative study of circulating tumor cell isolation and enumeration technologies in lung cancer
Lung cancer cells were spiked into donor blood to evaluate the recovery rates of the following circulating tumor cell (CTC) enrichment technologies: CellMag™, EasySep™, RosetteSep™, Parsortix® PR1, and Parsortix® Prototype systems. Each method's advantages and disadvantages are described.

On homotopy invariants of finite degree [PDF]
We prove that homotopy invariants of finite degree distinguish homotopy classes of maps of a connected compact CW-complex to a nilpotent connected CW-complex with finitely generated homotopy groups.
