Ovarian dynamics and host use.

Transmission Dynamics of Malaria in Human Host: a Neuro-Fuzzy Approach

Ovarian dynamics in relation to host quality in the Walnut-infesting Fly, Rhagoletis juglandis

1. Reproductive behaviour is routinely studied with a view towards characterizing how an animal responds to variation in resource abundance and quality. This characterization is less commonly made with respect to reproductive physiology. 2. In the Walnut-infesting Fly, Rhagoletis juglandis , ovarian development is cued by the presence of the host fruit resource. In this study, I examined how ov...

A quantitative framework for ovarian dynamics

1. Ovarian dynamics describe the highly complex interplay between egg maturation, oviposition, egg resorption and the factors affecting them. While these processes have been intensively studied, further progress has been impeded by the lack of generally applicable quantitative tools to analyse experimental data. 2. The purpose of this study is to provide a quantitative framework based on a stat...

Influence of Interface Thermal Resistance on Relaxation Dynamics of Metal-Dielectric Nanocomposite Materials under Ultrafast Pulse Laser Excitation

Nanocomposite materials, including noble metal nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric host medium, are interesting because of their optical properties linked to surface plasmon resonance phenomena. For studding of nonlinear optical properties and/or energy transfer process, these materials may be excited by ultrashort pulse laser with a temporal width varying from some femtoseconds to some hund...

Protective Effect of Human Menopausal Gonadotropins on Rat Ovarian Structure Following Use of Nandrolone Decanoate: From a Histological Standpoint

Background and Aim: Nandrolone decanoate is known as one of the most destructive environmental factors in the reproductive system in men and women. In this study, we assessed the protective effect of gonadotropins (hMG) on histological changes of rat ovarian structure. Materials and Methods: 50 female rats were divided into 5 groups, including control, nandrolone decanoate (ND), hMG, ND + hMG, ...
