Abstract

In experiment I: anoestral bitches were applied synthetic (n=6) or natural (n=6) pheromones and their attractiveness was compared to the attractiveness of bitches in natural oestrus, In experiment II: swabs socked in natural estrual discharge or Eau D’Estrus were presented to male dogs and behav- ioral arousal (Exp. II a) and changes in blood flow in the penile artery reflecting erection (Exp. II b) were recorded. In experiment III the time dedicated for sniffing in experimental dogs was analyzed in relation to the type of attractant presented (natural estrual discharge or Eau D’Estrus). In all three experiments we observed the signs of sexual arousal, increased blood flow in the penile artery and increased time of sniffing only with natural pheromones. No signs of excitation or changes in penis perfusion were noted after the use of artificial pheromones. Our results did not support the suitability of Eau D’Estrus for male dog sexual stimulation.

Key words: bitch, oestrus, sex pheromones, sexual behavior, color Doppler



Wonderful topic! Reframing or reinterpretation over time. And then data science origins together and track the path into mainstream culture and the effects the reinterpretation had on language in old/new context and how it normalised/polarised certain concepts, topics, perspectives, ideologies and so on ... with a sub-focus on teens and their social media use or the cool, alternative, avant-garde kids in art and music.


Has any compared national/international media outlets?

Is there an automated LLM comparing word usage, phrasing, maybe even cultural/class-driven subtext in context of time/events in print/TV or a project comparing national/international news outlets that target specific population segments/demographics?

One could analyse the same in advertisement/social media/even 'Hollywood' and data science all of that stuff together. Create a chain or rather 'graph of thought'. See what the ministry of truth has been up to in recent decades ... I'm joking, of course, it's a complex world and people cooperate so what the hell, but it would be interesting nevertheless.

Sadly, I can't even scrape websites that have a robots.txt.

I remember reading a book about above topic a decade ago where multiple authors did something like that to analyse cooptation in media (German: "Gleichschaltung").


Pseudo-profound ramblings of a drunk. Fun, but pls don't spread the 'advice'. The subtext is a nudge in the wrong direction for some kids in some vulnerable states of mind and literally pointless for anyone who is not.


it does, as a potential


Implication means a definite causal relationship.


Echoes of PKD.


Small businesses like Cafes? They will hopefully get this to laundromats once this bot can iron, too. Not even once did I iron or fold my laundry back in university ...


> There is some probability that a random star has intelligent life on orbiting planets, but we have no idea what that probability is.

100%. The evolutionary pattern of our solar systems formation and earth ending up, temporarily, in just the right spot isn't rare but (was) a matter of time/timing.

Now one could argue that the stellar objects carrying specific components necessary for life did not hit every or many solar systems but every single simulation (in my head) of the big bang's aftermath reveals that it's at least multiple hundreds of thousands, given how much the observable universe has revealed so far in the places that we looked.


i might be wrong but corporations/institutions never sponsor R&D in all directions so framing/phrasing is vital. but, from a philosophical pov, I agree with you.
