Abstract:
Mestrado em Ensino de Música<br>Initiating saxophone students often demonstrate difficulties in playing with a consistent sound. In addition, many initiating music students demonstrate difficulties with imagining the music before they play it. Consequently, their performances lack musical interpretation. The aim of this educational project is to develop a vocalization method in order to help initiating saxophone students to improve their tone quality and the use of articulation and dynamics, by singing and playing with vowels and consonants.<br>Alunos iniciantes de saxofone demonstram po

Abstract:
Vocalization behavior of captive loggerhead shrikes was studied at the Avian Science and Conservation Centre of McGill University. In the first stage, calls of two pairs kept in indoor cages were individually recorded not only to catalogue these calls spectrographically and quantitatively but also to use them in identifying the birds sexually. Males vocalized 21 call figures for 16.50% of the observation time and females, 8 call figures for 2.64% of the observation time. Males contiguously delivered 1 to 11 bouts with a mean of 7.25 min for a rate of 6.06 bouts/h; females delivered 1 to 9 bout

Abstract:
The bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus is an extremely well-studied species. We have an extensive knowledge of certain aspects of their vocal behaviour, particularly from captive contexts. Bottlenose dolphins produce a rich tapestry of vocalisations, however, which have historically received minimal attention. Resident groups of bottlenose dolphins frequent the waterways of Fiordland in southwest New Zealand. These deep, sheltered fiords are ideally suited for acoustic studies.

Recent studies on the social life and vocal production, usage and comprehension of nonhuman primates have brought new insights into the evolutionary mechanisms of cognition and communication as well as the emergence of language. A key point in the current literature concerns the flexibility of vocal production. In contrast to humans, some birds and some cetaceans, vocal flexibility is thought to be very restricted in nonhuman primates, which creates a startling phylogenetic gap. At the same time, research has shown that a number of African forest guenons' alarm calls appear to have language-li

Abstract:
Carolina Wrens, Thryothorus ludovicianus, are permanent residents throughout their range. They form pair bonds at a young age, maintain these bonds for multiple years, and defend feeding/breeding territories year round. Male Carolina Wrens use songs in territorial defense and have been shown to countersing regularly to both neighbors and intruders. They use various song characteristics to determine the location of another bird and whether its territory has been invaded. Wrens often approach playbacks silently in apparent searching behavior. In some cases, birds will investigate the playback bu

Abstract:
<p> Tale and myth have a long history of reinforcing, commenting on, and often subverting the ideologies at work in the society where the stories are being told. This research explores the ways three American novels, Eudora Welty&rsquo;s The Robber Bridegroom, Shirley Jackson&rsquo;s We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and Toni Morrison&rsquo;s The Bluest Eye, all incorporate variants of the fairytale Bluebeard: a fairytale which centers on domestic trauma. All three novels also re-vocalize the myth of Demeter and Persephone, and this re-vocalization serves to empower the female characters and

Suínos se adaptam às adversidades ambientais impostas pelo confinamento à partir de alterações fisiológicas e comportamentais e a inserção de climatizações simples podem melhorar o conforto e o bem-estar dos animais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da climatização ambiental da maternidade livre de gaiolas, no comportamento e bem-estar de matrizes e leitões. Foram utilizadas 26 fêmeas e 281 leitões da linhagem Large White x Landrace, desmamados aos 21 dias, mantidos em dois tipos de ambiente: climatizado (ventilador e aspersor em telhado) e não climatizado (controle), no setor de

Abstract:
De acordo com o modelo de seleção intersexual mediado por parasitas, variações nas condições de ornamentos ou taxa de displays sexuais refletem diferentes graus de resistência ao parasitismo. Em coros naturais de anfíbios, vocalizações mais altas, longas e complexas e/ou emitidas a maiores taxas são, provavelmente, mais facilmente detectadas e atraem mais fêmeas. Entretanto, o esforço vocal está positivamente relacionado aos níveis plasmáticos de esteróides potencialmente imunossupressores, tais como testosterona e corticosterona.
