Background: Men with azoospermia require testicular and epididymal sperm aspiration for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Women over 37 years of age demonstrate
an increase number of immature oocytes after induction of ovulation. The development of a technique for in vitro maturation (IVM) and fertilization (IVF) of
the oocytes using testicular, epididymal and vassal sperm (TS, ES, VS, respectively) will be of therapeutic value for the treatment of azoospermic patients.
Objectives: The goal of the study was to develop an animal model for the treatment of infertile couples with obstructive azoospermia and immature oocytes.
Materials and Methods: Canine ovaries and testes were collected from a local animal clinic. Immature oocytes were retrieved from the ovaries and cultured in modified tissue
culture medium (MTCM). The mature oocytes were in vitro fertilized by TS, ES, and VS. The normality of the fertilized oocytes was studied.
Results: Sperm motility index was significantly higher (P<0.01) in sperm retrieved from the vas deference compared to ES and TS. The concentration of the sperm was
significantly higher (P<0.05) in the testes compared to epididymis and vas deference while VS and ES normal morphology were significantly (p<0.01) better than TS. Viable oocyte
percentage was significantly higher (P<O.05) in 72 hours versus 96 hours culture durations. Significant higher IVF was reported in VS compared to other groups (P < 0.05) and the SPI
was significantly higher after 96 versus 72 hours duration (P<O.05).
Conclusion: IVM of the oocytes in MTCM for 72 and 96 h resulted in a significant increase in IVM rate compared to 48,120, and 144 h durations. In vitro viable mature
oocytes showed higher IVF rates when fertilized with VS compared to ES and TS. The results showed that canine oocytes are good model for azoospermic patients.
LED is an ultra-lightweight block cipher that is mainly used in devices with limited resources. Currently, the software and hardware structure of this cipher utilize a complex logic operation to generate a sequence of random numbers called round constant and this causes the algorithm to slow down and record low throughput. To improve the speed and throughput of the original algorithm, the Fast Lightweight Encryption Device (FLED) has been proposed in this paper. The key size of the currently existing LED algorithm is in 64-bit & 128-bit but this article focused mainly on the 64-bit key (block size=64-bit). In the proposed FLED design, complex operations have been replaced by LFSR left feedback technology to make the algorithm perform more e

Show MoreIn the framework of correlation method so-called coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM) the nucleon momentum distributions (NMD) of the ground state for some even mass nuclei of fp-shell like 50Cr, 52Cr and 54Cr isotopes are examined. Nucleon momentum distributions are expressed in terms of the fluctuation function (|f(x)|2) which is evaluated by means of the nucleon density distributions (NDD) of the nuclei and determined from theory and experiment. The main characteristic feature of the NMD obtained by CDFM is the existence of high-momentum components, for momenta k ≥ 2 fm−1. For completeness, also elastic electron scattering form factors, F(q) are evaluated within the same framework.

The sample included (35) varied strategic projects implemented in most Iraqi governorates. Buildings, municipal buildings, minarets, massacres, multi-story parking, paving and rehabilitation of streets and residential neighborhoods. The difference between the actual and planned times and costs of these projects was then measured and analyzed. These projects were used as a tool for collecting data and information.

And the multiplicity of forms and types according to the different reasons for it and the motives that prompted the population to move, as well as the currents and their size are also different according to the different causes, and here there are many types of migration, and many of them have been studied at the local and regional levels, and as long as the population is in a continuous dynamic movement, other types of migration are generated.
