Comparison of different statistical approaches to evaluate morphometric sperm subpopulations in men.
2016
This study was designed to characterize morphometric sperm subpopulations in normozoospermic men by using different statistical methods and examining their suitability to classify correctly different sperm nuclear morphologies present in human ejaculates. Ejaculates from 21 normozoospermic men were collected for the study. After semen collection and analysis, samples were prepared for morphometric determination. At least 200 spermatozoa per sample were assessed for sperm morphometry by computer-assisted sperm morphometry analysis (CASA-Morph) using fluorescence. Clustering and discriminant procedures were performed to identify sperm subpopulations from the morphometric data obtained. Cluste…
Computer-assisted sperm morphometry fluorescence-based analysis has potential to determine progeny sex
2016
This study was designed to determine the ability of computer-assisted sperm morphometry analysis (CASA-Morph) with fluorescence to discriminate between spermatozoa carrying different sex chromosomes from the nuclear morphometrics generated and different statistical procedures in the bovine species. The study was divided into two experiments. The first was to study the morphometric differences between X- and Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa (SX and SY, respectively). Spermatozoa from eight bulls were processed to assess simultaneously the sex chromosome by FISH and sperm morphometry by fluorescence-based CASA-Morph. SX cells were larger than SY cells on average (P < 0.001) although with impo…
Nuclear Shape Staggering in Very Neutron-Deficient Hg Isotopes Detected by Laser Spectroscopy
1977
The isotope shifts of $^{188}\mathrm{Hg}$, $^{186}\mathrm{Hg}$, and $^{184}\mathrm{Hg}$ in the 2537-\AA{} line have been measured by use of tunable dye laser at the on-line mass separator ISOLDE at CERN. The results are $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\nu}(^{188}\mathrm{Hg}\ensuremath{-}^{204}\mathrm{Hg})=35.8(2)$ GHz; $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\nu}(^{186}\mathrm{Hg}\ensuremath{-}^{204}\mathrm{Hg})=39.4(2)$ GHz; and $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\nu}(^{184}\mathrm{Hg}\ensuremath{-}^{204}\mathrm{Hg})=43.1(2)$ GHz. These data combined with those obtained by $\ensuremath{\beta}$-radiation-detected optical pumping ($\ensuremath{\beta}$-RADOP) on the odd Hg isotopes yield a huge odd-even…

Laser spectroscopy for nuclear structure physics
2016
High-resolution laser spectroscopy is an established powerful tool in the study of nuclear shape, size and multipole moments. Measurements of the hyperfine structures and isotope shifts in the atomic spectra of radioactive nuclei provide unique insight into the evolution of the nuclear macroscopic shape and microscopic structure. These measurements can be made with high precision and high sensitivity and applied directly on-line at radioactive nuclear beam facilities. Recent measurements, advances at facilities and the future direction of the field are reviewed. A summary of experimental data is presented. peerReviewed
