Genetic Parameters and Genetic Trends of Female Fertility in Icelandic Dairy Cattle
Fertility, represented by calving interval, has been included in the genetic evaluation of Icelandic dairy cattle since 1993. In spite of this an unfavourable genetic trend is seen and, recent implementation of test-day models for the genetic evaluation of milk production has changed the premise of …

The effect of education on female fertility behaviour in El Gebel El Akhder in Libya
… circumstances, particularly increased levels of female education, has influenced female fertility behaviour. This hypothesis was examined for the population of El Gebel El Akhdar, Libya.The study was based on a sample of 600 married women categorised by location (urban and rural), age (below and …

Hormonal regulation of microRNA expression in the ovary
… is critical for furthering our knowledge of fertility and reproductive health. For decades, research has been conducted on understanding the transcriptional regulation of ovarian gene expression and how this relates to reproductive function. Recently, attention has turned to alternative forms …

Investigating the role of ephrins and their receptors in mouse folliculogenesis and ovulation
… This series of events is critical for female fertility, and culminates in the formation of mature follicles responsive to the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) that triggers ovulation. Ephrins (Efn genes) and Eph receptors (Eph genes) are membrane-associated signaling molecules that …

Characterization of the pleiotropic effects of the Drosophila gene mushroom body miniature B
… mushroom body anatomy, olfactory memory and female fertility. In this thesis I report that mbmB mutants also have reduced viability and growth rate. I further demonstrate, using the mushroom body cell marker dachshund, that loss of mbmB function does not affect the early development of …

The effects of adult exposure to genistein on female reproductive outcomes
… can result in adverse, long-term effects on female fertility, cardiovascular, bone, and overall health. The ovary is an estrogen receptor-rich tissue, and plays a key role in the regulation of female fertility. This is because the ovary’s main functional unit, the follicle, is responsible for …

DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSIOLOGICAL CULTURE SYSTEMS TO ACCESS UNTAPPED OVARIAN RESERVES FOR IMPROVING REPRODUCTIVE EFFICIENCY
Female fertility preservation via complete in vitro folliculogenesis is still chimerical. Recreating folliculogenesis to grow a dormant primordial follicle to the preovulatory stage in vitro remains the most coveted goal of fertility preservation programs. The ability to grow undifferentiated …

The Role of Merlin and Apicobasal Polarity In Endometrial Development and Homeostasis
… While the endometrium is important for female fertility, relatively little is understood about how glands develop or how endometrial cancer forms. We examine the role of Merlin and apicobasal polarity in endometrial development and homeostasis. We determine that Merlin regulation of …

Contrast sensitivity and emotion recognition across the menstrual cycle
… literature demonstrate that certain aspects of female perception may be influenced by fluctuation in reproductive hormones associated with the menstrual cycle. Cyclic shifts in female mate preferences, facial recognition and low-level visual processing have been attributed to such hormonal …

The Effect of PDSS2, a Component of the Coenzyme Q Biosynthetic Pathway, on Murine Oocyte Embryo Development
Female reproductive capacity dramatically declines with age. Decrease in oocyte number and quality is primarily responsible for this phenomenon. However, although multiple theories of reproductive aging have been proposed, the exact cause of oocyte quality decline remains unclear. One factor that …

Bewitching The Stage: Elizabethan And Jacobean Witch-Lore And Witch-Hunt
… witch is postulated as the negative example of female fertility and feminine nurture: the witch not only interferes in the natural process of fertility in humans as well as in nature but she also contaminates maids and mistresses with her mismanagement and overconsumption of household resources. …

Essays on the economics of gender
… I analyze the effect of the reform on residents' fertility. I find that a reduction in a specialty's weekly hours increased the specialty's female fertility rate in California, and had no effect in Texas. I discuss these results using a model in which physicians choose between career and family …

EGFR Signaling Is Necessary for Gonadotropin-Induced Steroidogenesis and Oocyte Maturation
… ovarian processes that are critical for normal female fertility, including steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation, and subsequent ovulation. Studies were designed to examine the LH-induced signaling pathways that regulate ovarian steroidogenesis, as well as the subsequent role of steroids and their …

Aspects of feminine mythology and related pictoral imagery as source for the development of a personal sculptural iconography
The representation of the female figure in Western society has been moulded by such diverse forces as religion, economy and geography, nonetheless, certain images of the female form and representations of feminine qualities appear to be archetypal. One example is that of the Venus of Willendorf …
