Teleost fishes are the 'champions' of sexual plasticity among vertebrates. Several species have two male reproductive morphs with distinct suites of behavioral, somatic, neuronal, endocrinological, and life history traits. Here, we consider recent studies of the social and neural modulation of sexual plasticity for such species with a focus on two neuropeptides, gonadotropin releasing hormone (...

Previous work in the Wilczynski lab (Dunham et al., 2014) by Leslie Dunham showed that arginine vasotocin (AVT) played a significant role in aggressive behavior in male anoles lizards. A mirror-pairing test was used to simulate the presence of an aggressor and promote aggressive behavior in the male anoles lizard. Male anoles produce aggressive displays when seeing a mirror. Thirty-two male ano...

Vocal learning from social partners is crucial for the successful development of communication in a wide range of species. Social interactions organize attention and enhance motivation to learn species-typical behaviour. However, the neurobiological mechanisms connecting social motivation and vocal learning are unknown. Using zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), a ubiquitous model for vocal lea...

The acute effects of intravenously administered lysine-acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on renal function in the Pekin duck have been studied with special reference to possible interactions with the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasotocin (AVT), in the control of renal water and solute output. ASA produces an immediate increase in urine flow rate which is dose-related in the range 25 to 100 mg kg-1 ...

Invasive assessment of haemodynamics (ventricular, pulmonary) and testing of acute vasoreactivity in the catheterisation laboratory remain the gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease. However, these measurements and the interpretation thereof are challenging due to the heterogeneous aetiology of PH in childhood and potentially c...

Audio-visual translation (AVT) has grown significantly as a field in the studies. AVT subfields are dubbing and subtitling. This study aims to investigate viewers’ reactions toward subtitling of English animated movie, Cars, from into Arabic. The is quantitative. An online questionnaire was administered elicit viewer’s chosen movie. showed strong evidence that works dubbed Egyptian dialect more...

Hydrogen exposure of III-V HEMTs has been shown to cause a threshold voltage shift, AVT. This is a serious reliability concern. This effect has been attributed to a H-induced piezoelectric effect. Formation of TiHX expands the Ti layer in the gate, causing mechanical stress in the underlying semiconductor. This induces piezoelectric charge in the heterostructure underneath the gate that shifts ...

The present study examines Audiovisual Translation (AVT) strategies in selected episodes of Yahya and Kunooz animated TV Series (2022). AVT is quite a unique sub-discipline Studies (TS) due to its polysemiotic nature which it functions on verbal, acoustic visual levels. Within this rationale, the conducts an interrogation verbal auditory or channel, non-verbal e.g. written signs screen channel....
