BACKGROUND Cyperus esculentus tubers (tiger nut) are one of the ancient food sources known to humanity. It is traditionally used in the Middle East to stimulate sexual arousal in men. However, there has been no scientific evidence about its assumed aphrodisiac properties. This study aimed to investigate the influence of tiger nut on the copulatory behavior of sexually active male rats. METHOD...

Memory accesses continue to represent a major performance bottleneck and much remains to be done to tolerate their latencies. A large body of work exists that presents load-value prediction as an effective means to hide some of the memory latency. To increase the prediction accuracy and hence the performance, researchers have proposed more complex and larger predictor designs. This paper re-eva...

This paper describes a method of analysis for de tecting and minimizing memory latency using a di rected data dependency graph produced from a com piler These results are applicable to the develop ment of methods for the optimal generation of instruc tion threads to be executed on a multi threaded data driven architecture The resulting runtime reductions are accomplished by minimizing memory ac...

Traveling waves have been well documented in the ongoing, and more recently also in the evoked EEG. In the present study we investigate what kind of physiological process might be responsible for inducing an evoked traveling wave. We used a semantic judgment task which already proved useful to study evoked traveling alpha waves that coincide with the appearance of the P1 component. We found tha...

BACKGROUND The Ruta graveolens L. is currently used by the Jordanian population systemically for its antispasmodic, diuretic, sedative, and analgesic effects and externally for its antirheumatic effect. OBJECTIVE To study plant effects on the reproductive system and fertility using adult male albino rats with special emphasis on the aggressive behavior and sex behavior. The aqueous extracts o...

Synopsis Copulatory behavior and genital morphology interact to deliver sperm more effectively during mating, but the nature of this interaction has not been explored in depth most vertebrates. Alpacas have unusually long copulations lasting 15–20 min, a unique copulatory behavior, where penis intromits all way past cervix, into uterine horns. Here we describe male female genitalia report morph...
