چکیده

Research on owner-dog relationships suggests that they have remarkable features, paralleling those of infant to parents. In this study, we investigated whether, after being separated, access to the owner would function as a reinforcer for domestic dog behavior. We then conducted a functional analysis to determine the specific functional reinforcer (e.g., owner access, attention). Our results demonstrate that owner access can function as a reinforcer. This has implications for understanding the owner-dog relationship and using owner access as a training tool.

I-34: Interactorme of Human Embryo Implan Implantation:Pathways,Networks

Background: A prerequisite for successful embryo implantation is adequate preparation of receptive endometrium and the establishment and maintenance of a viable embryo. The success of implantation further relies upon a two-way dialogue between the embryo and uterus. However, molecular bases of these preimplantation and implantation processes in humans are not well known. Materials and Methods: ...

NH3 sensors based on novel TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites: Insights from density functional theory calculations

Density functional theory calculations were performed to investigate the interactions of NH3 molecules with TiO2/MoS2 nanocomposites in order to completely exploit the adsorption properties of these nanocomposites. Given the need to further comprehend the behavior of the NH3 molecules oriented between the TiO2 nanoparticle and MoS2 monolayer, we have geometrically optimized the complex systems ...
