    MATLAB Code for Effect of Age and Morphology on Live Birth Rate After Cleavage Stage Embryo Transfer

    No full text
    The MATLAB program solve_morphology3.m takes in embryo transfer information including age at oocyte retrieval, number of embryos of each embryo quality grouping, and number of live births that resulted. The program uses linear algebra to solve for the best fit live birth rates for embryos in each quality group and age using moving centered age groups centered on the age of interest. The analysis is performed for moving centered age groups of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 years. The program can analyze any number of embryo quality groupings (such as good/fair/poor or excellent/good/fair/poor or others). A description of the program including required inputs and outputs is included in the comments section at the beginning of the code

    MATLAB Code used in Power Analysis for: Influence of Trophectoderm Biopsy Prior to Frozen Blastocyst Transfer on Obstetrical Outcomes

    No full text
    This is the MATLAB Code to reproduce the power analysis for the gestational age and fetal weight outcomes in the manuscript "Influence of Trophectoderm Biopsy Prior to Frozen Blastocyst Transfer on Obstetrical Outcomes". The power analysis can be performed by running the program generate_data.m with MATLAB. The program generate_data.m will call the other functions as needed and output the power analysis data

    MATLAB and SAS Code for "Design and Validation of a Model for Quality Control Monitoring of Dichotomous IVF Outcomes""

    No full text
    This data set includes computer code for the manuscript "Design and Validation of a Model for Quality Control Monitoring of Dichotomous IVF Outcomes". There is 1 SAS file, 1 Excel file, and 10 MATLAB files. The SAS file "PGT_QC_Filter_SART.sas" contains code to filter clinic SART data downloaded as a CSV file with the "all fields export" function. The 10 MATLAB program files contain code to generate relevant analysis and figures for the manuscript. All of the MATLAB code can be run through running the "generate_data.m" file. Some of the code is computer CPU intensive and may take up to an hour or more to run. Specifically, the validation and power calculation portions are CPU intensive. To run the programs more quickly the number of trials used can be decreased in the code. The excel file "Graph Shell.xlsx" contains an outline that can be used to graph information from SAS output on quality control charts. The SAS and MATLAB programs have comments in the code describing functions of each part of the code. These files were uploaded 8/29/2020

    Pimpinella anisum essential oil nanoemulsions against Tribolium castaneum - Insecticidal activity and mode of action

    No full text
    The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is an economically important pest of stored products. As possible alternative to conventional insecticides for its management, plant essential oils have gained interest owing to their effectiveness and eco-friendly features. However, they also show some drawbacks such as low stability, poor water solubility and diffusion, and limited persistence in the environment. A good strategy to overcome these disadvantages is represented by green nanotechnologies. Herein, we developed a nanoemulsion based on the essential oil from Pimpinella anisum L. (Apiaceae) containing 81.2% of (E)-anethole and evaluated its toxicity on T. castaneum adults and F1 progeny, as well as its morphological and histological impact. The anise oil nanoemulsion was characterized by the formation of a semi-solid interphase between oil and water, mean drop size was 198.9 nm, PDI was 0.303, zeta potential was -25.4±4.47 mV and conductivity was 0.029 mS/cm. The nanoemulsion showed toxicity on T. castaneum (LC50=9.3% v/v), with a significant impact on its progeny. Histological damages triggered by feeding and exposure to the anise nanoemulsion were also analyzed by scan electron microscopy (SEM). Overall, our findings showed that the development of nanoemulsions allows to improve the stability of P. anisum essential oil enhancing its efficacy against stored grain pests and contributing to reduce the use of harmful synthetic insecticides
