Sexual conditioning in the dyeing poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius)

Gaalema, Diann E. 15 January 2010 (has links)
Amphibian populations worldwide are currently in decline. One approach to preventing extinction of some of the affected species is to create assurance colonies. These sustainable captive populations might some day be used to reestablish wild populations. One issue with creating assurance colonies is successful breeding; often difficulties arise when attempting to breed exotic animals in captivity. Sexual conditioning, a form of Pavlovian conditioning, has been shown to improve breeding behavior. In this project the efficacy of sexual conditioning to improve breeding behavior in the dyeing dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) was tested. The frogs were trained with a stimulus that was either predictive of or independent of exposure to a member of the opposite sex. The group trained with the predictive stimulus showed shorter latencies to a variety of breeding behaviors and produced more eggs than the control groups. The sexual conditioning procedure also increased expression of various breeding behaviors allowing for careful examination of calls and visual signaling within this species.

Siūlės matmenų priklausomybės nuo trumpojo jungimo srovės stiprio tyrimas virinant glaistytaisiais elektrodais / Research of seam dimensional dependence on the short-circuit current in MMA welding process

Rimkus, Mindaugas 19 June 2013 (has links)
Darbe tiriami mažaanglio plieno S235J2 (LST EN 10025:2004) suvirintų siūlių pasikeitimai, plieną apvirinant skirtingais glaistytaisiais elektrodais ir suvirinimo režimais. Tyrimų metu buvo naudojami AV-23 ir AV-66 glaistytieji elektrodai bei keičiamas trumpojo jungimo srovės stipris. Nustatytas ryšys tarp metalo įvirinimo gylio, rumbelės aukščio, išlydytų lašų dydžio, išlydytų lašų kiekio, trumpojo jungimo trukmės ir trumpojo jungimo srovės dydžio. Gauti tyrimų rezultatai, nubraižyti priklausomybių grafikai ir pateiktos išvados. Darbą sudaro: įvadas, literatūros apžvalga, eksperimentuose naudojama įranga ir medžiagos, tyrimo metodika, tyrimų metu gauti rezultatai, grafikai, išvados, literatūra. Darbo apimtis: 83 p. teksto, 73 iliustr., 18 lent., 23 bibliografiniai šaltiniai. / In final work was analyzed the changes of seams properties of steel S235J2 (LST EN 10025:2004), produced by welding with different technology are discussed. Samples were welded by hand arc welding, using AV-23 and AV-66 welding electrodes. The welded seams were made by changing short-circuit current. The duration of weld depth, ridge height, metal drop size, metal drop frequency, short-circuit time and short-circuit current value are determinated. The results of the research are given in graphs, final conclusions are also written. Structure: the introduction, survey of the related literature, equipment and materials, description of the methodology, results of research, graphs of the results, conclutions, references. Thesis consist of: 83 p. text, 73 pictures, 18 tables, 23 bibliographical entries.
