This study employed semi-structured interviews and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore experiences of on-time maturation in nine adolescent ballet dancers from across three vocational schools the United Kingdom. Two themes were identified as central their experiences: ‘A right a wrong way grow’, fitting moving forward. Instead perceiving themselves ‘average’ experiencing relativ...

Length-Based Spawning Potential Ratio (LB-SPR) model was applied to describe the status of Javelin grunter, Pomadasys kaakan in the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea. From April 2002 to March 2019. 45,489 specimens were collected from fish landing sites monthly, and their length (FL) and weight were measured. The results of the present study showed that different gears captured most of the P. kaakan be...

The maturation of the cortical gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) are described as sequential processes following multiple, but distinct rules. However, neither the mechanisms driving brain maturation processes, nor the relationship between GM and WM maturation are well understood. Here we use connectomics and two MRI measures reflecting maturation related changes in cerebral microstructure...

BACKGROUND Oocyte maturation in lower vertebrates is triggered by maturation-inducing hormone (MIH), which acts on unidentified receptors on the oocyte surface and induces the activation of maturation-promoting factor (MPF) in the oocyte cytoplasm. We previously described the induction of oocyte maturation in fish by an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), diethylstilbestrol (DES), a nonsteroid...

Morphometric of examination gonads Liza carinata were performed for one year (October 1995 – September 1996) to study the maturation development. Monthly variation in gonado somatic index (GSI) noticed, that started with low values during October and November. Significant increase was recorded period December - April peak February (3.59 males & 9.33 females) followed by a significant declin...
