Identification of deleterious variants associated with male infertility genes in a cohort of idiopathic hypospermatogenesis patients by Nisha Sharma, Ashutosh Halder, Seema Kaushal, Manoj Kumar, Manish Jain

“…The known genetic causes were investigated using XY fluorescent in situ hybridization and Yq microdeletion for exclusion. Whole exome sequencing was performed, and the data of 42 iHS patients was analyzed to identify single nucleotide variants associated with diagnostically important male infertility genes.ResultsGenomic analysis of SNVs identified rare deleterious candidate variants in CFTR (c.1265C&gt;T; p.Ser422Phe), CYP21A2 (c.955C&gt;T; p.Gln319Glu), SRD5A2 (c.737G&gt;A; p.Arg245Gln), LHCGR (c.378A&gt;C; p.Lys126Asn) and AR (c.2179C&gt;A; p.Arg727Ser) genes associated with 7/42 idiopathic hypospermatogenesis patients. …”

Aerodynamics Optimization of a Ducted Coaxial Rotor in Forward Flight Using Orthogonal Test Design by Yuening Jiang, Hai Li, Hongguang Jia

“…To investigate the aerodynamic complexities involved in the combination of freestream and propeller’s suction flow field of ducted coaxial rotors system in forward flight, an orthogonal L16(43) test design has been applied to optimize the design parameters including forward speed, pitch angle, and axial spacing between rotors. Multiblock grids and Multiple Frame of Reference (MFR) method are adopted for calculating aerodynamic performance of the system, hover characteristic was compared with experimental data obtained from the test stand, and the thrust performance is well predicted for various rotor spacing and a range of rpm. …”
