A further study about the behaviour of foundation piles and beams in a Winkler-Pasternak soil
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2002-01)
The natural vibrations and critical loads of foundation beams embedded in a soil simulated with two elastic parameters through the Winkler-Pasternak (WP) model are analysed. General end supports of the beam are considered ...
The dorsal diencephalic conduction system of zebrafish as a model of vertebrate brain lateralisation
(2004)
Lateralisation is an attractive and intriguing feature of the vertebrate CNS studied for decades in the different disciplines of the neurosciences. Due to the complexity of the phenomena and intrinsic limitations of the ...
Effects of waterborne exposure to the antidepressant fluoxetine on swimming, shoaling and anxiety behaviours of the mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2018-11)
Chemical pollution from pharmaceuticals is increasingly recognized as a major hazard to the aquatic biota. Among the wide variety of pharmaceuticals, fluoxetine (FLX) is one of the most widely prescribed antidepressants, ...
Behaviour of the Poynting vector in absorbing chiral media
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2000-06)
The Poynting vector behaviour in chiral media with losses is studied. It is found that its mean temporal value has a component which is not on the incidence plane, while the instantaneous vector moves along the lateral ...
Postnatal development of subterranean habits in tuco-tucos Ctenomys talarum (Rodentia, Caviomorpha, Ctenomyidae)
(Springer Tokyo, 2015-12)
Postnatal development of subterranean habits was investigated in Los Talas’ tuco-tuco Ctenomys talarum, a subterranean caviomorph rodent endemic from South America. Since in this species, some key morpho-functional traits ...
Long-term impact of early life events on physiology and behaviour
(British Society for Neuroendocrinology, 2014)
This review discusses the effects of stress and nutrition throughout development and summarises
studies investigating how exposure to stress or alterations in nutrition during the pre-conception,
prenatal and early ...
New technologies and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – which step forward rushed by the COVID-19 pandemic?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fast-progressive
neurodegenerative disease leading to progressive physical immobility with
usually normal or mild cognitive and/or behavioural involvement. Many patients
are ...
Corticotropin-releasing factor type-2 receptor and corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein coexist in rat ventral tegmental area nerve terminals originated in the lateral hypothalamic area
(2016)
There is significant functional evidence showing that corticotropin-releasing factor type-2 receptor (CRF2R) and corticotropin-releasing factor-binding protein (CRF-BP) regulate glutamatergic synapses onto ventral tegmental ...
Locomotor behaviour of Blattella germanica modified by DEET
(Public Library of Science, 2013-12-23)
N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) is the active principle of most insect repellents used worldwide. However, its toxicity on insects has not been widely studied. The aim of this work is to study the effects of DEET on ...
The Bias of combining variables on fish's aggressive behavior studies
(2019-07-01)
Quantifying animal aggressive behavior by behavioral units, either displays or attacks, is a common practice in animal behavior studies. However, this practice can generate a bias in data analysis, especially when the ...
