Treatment and control recordings were always presented on consecutive days at a group, and in a random order, during the peak provisioning period.
As natural pup feeding rates during the peak provisioning period average 20 pup feeds/h (unpublished data), the treatment represents a significant increase in feeding calls.
All recordings were made using a Sennheiser ME66/K6 microphone connected to a Marantz PMD670 (WAV format, sample frequency 44.1 kHz, resolution 16 bit), during the peak pup provisioning period, when the pups were between 40 and 70 days of age.
Moreover, helpers were subjected to increased aggression from the dominant male when the removal had happened during the incubation or chick-provisioning period, but not when the removal was done during the nonbreeding period, suggesting that helpers were subjected to increased aggression only when the need for help was high (Mulder & Langmore 1993).
During the provisioning period of one week, females produced on average 19.2 (SD = 3.2, range = 7 27, n = 80 females) brood masses each, and the combined weight of brood masses produced by each female averaged 68.95 mg (SD = 14.77 mg, range 24.58 - 99.19 mg, n = 1,537 brood masses).
The chapter presents a study to examine the impact of capacity design provisions and period limitations prescribed in Canadian design codes and standard on the cost of low-rise steel buildings.
Puerto Rico abolished slavery (with provisions for periods of apprenticeship) in 1873 and Cuba in 1880.
Another provision extends the period, from 10 to 20 years, that Hoag is committed to maintaining women's reproductive services "at the same types and levels".
The aim of this study is to quantify the degree of appropriateness in preoperatory hospital stays, these being especially susceptible to inappropriateness as the care provision during this period can more feasibly be given at assistance levels of a lower complexity.
Unicredit, which put €800m into Atlante, attempted to reassure investors as it reported better-than-expected results for the first quarter, pointing to an improvement in bad debt provisions in the period: €755m compared with €980m a year earlier.
