Sperm preparation for ART [PDF]
The onset of clinical assisted reproduction, a quarter of a century ago, required the isolation of motile spermatozoa. As the indication of assisted reproduction shifted from mere gynaecological indications to andrological indications during the years ...

Gyrotactic suppression and emergence of chaotic trajectories of swimming particles in three-dimensional flows [PDF]
We study the effects of imposed {three-dimensional flows} on the trajectories and mixing of gyrotactic swimming micro-organisms, and identify new phenomena not seen in flows restricted to two dimensions.

Improvement in quality of cryopreserved human spermatozoa by swim‐up before freezing [PDF]
SummarySelecting a population of spermatozoa by the swim‐up technique yields, after freezing and thawing, a population of cells that contains proportionally more spermatozoa which are morphologically normal, fewer spermatozoa with damaged tail membranes, and a greater percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa with greater velocities and amplitudes

Effects of flow regime on the young stages of Salmonid fishes. Conclusions based on results for 1977-1981 [PDF]
Rivers in Teesdale and its fish population have been monitored for several years. This report briefly describes the life cycle of British salmonid fishes and indicates the main ways in which this life cycle is influenced by discharge and related effects.

SchussenAktivplus: reduction of micropollutants and of potentially pathogenic bacteria for further water quality improvement of the river Schussen, a tributary of Lake Constance, Germany [PDF]
The project focuses on the efficiency of combined technologies to reduce the release of micropollutants and bacteria into surface waters via sewage treatment plants of different size and via stormwater overflow basins of different types. As a model river

Can Microfluidics Improve Sperm Quality? A Prospective Functional Study
The same sperm selection techniques in assisted reproduction clinics have remained largely unchanged despite their weaknesses. Recently, microfluidic devices have emerged as a novel methodology that facilitates the sperm selection process with promising ...

Comparison of Direct Swim-Up, Mini-Percoll, and Sephadex G10 Separation Procedures [PDF]
A comparison was made of three sperm separation techniques--direct swim-up, mini-Percoll, and Sephadex G-10--on semen parameters, including count, % motility, forward progression, and hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test scores. Overall, the best quality sperm (less debris, best % and quality motility, and best HOS scores) were noted with the direct swim-up
