The "Ram Effect": A "Non-Classical" Mechanism for Inducing LH Surges in Sheep [PDF]
During spring sheep do not normally ovulate but exposure to a ram can induce ovulation. In some ewes an LH surge is induced immediately after exposure to a ram thus raising questions about the control of this precocious LH surge.

Newly identified cold subdwarfs - LHS 375, LHS 407, LHS 3181, and LHS 3555
Four new cold subdwarfs have been identified from Luyten's LHS Catalogue (1976), LHS 375, LHS 407, LHS 3181, and LHS 3555. CCD B, V, R, and I photometry; infrared J, H, and K photometry and spectra of the stars have been obtained. We discuss their location in different color-color diagrams.

Luteinizing hormone concentrations in healthy horses and horses with trigeminal-mediated headshaking over an 8-hour period. [PDF]
BackgroundTrigeminal-mediated headshaking results from a low threshold for firing of the trigeminal nerve. A seasonal component has been implicated in onset of clinical signs, which occur during the spring and summer months.

Combinatorial algebra for second-quantized Quantum Theory [PDF]
We describe an algebra G of diagrams that faithfully gives a diagrammatic representation of the structures of both the Heisenberg–Weyl algebra H – the associative algebra of the creation and annihilation operators of quantum mechanics – and U(LH), the ...

Penetration And Scattering Of Lower Hybrid Waves By Density Fluctuations [PDF]
Lower Hybrid [LH] ray propagation in toroidal plasma is controlled by a combination of the azimuthal spectrum launched from the antenna, the poloidal variation of the magnetic field, and the scattering of the waves by the density fluctuations.

Decoding odor quality and intensity in the Drosophila brain [PDF]
To internally reflect the sensory environment, animals create neural maps encoding the external stimulus space. From that primary neural code relevant information has to be extracted for accurate navigation.

Including Blood Vasculature into a Game-Theoretic Model of Cancer Dynamics
For cancer, we develop a 2-D agent-based continuous-space game-theoretical model that considers cancer cells’ proximity to a blood vessel. Based on castrate resistant metastatic prostate cancer (mCRPC), the model considers the density and frequency

Effect of aqueous rosemary extract on some sexual hormones in male rats with high thyroxine level [PDF]
The main purpose of this research is to evaluate the high level of thyroxine affects on each of the luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) of rats and to estimate the potential effect of the administration of aqueous ...

Extragonadal LH/hCG action-Not yet time to rewrite textbooks [PDF]
Gonadotropins are indispensable in both sexes in the regulation of gonadal sex steroid production and gametogenesis. In addition to their well-established classical actions, numerous recent publications have indicated the presence and function of ...
