Nocturnal emission,

Ultra-sound emissions typically occur when male rodents are exposed to female odours or altricial neonates to maternal sources (Whitney, 1974 Conely and Bell, 1978). Without the VNO, sexually inexperienced male mice do not utter emissions at ultra-high frequencies (UHF), whereas those with prior experience vocalise after VN-x, as discussed above (Chap. 5). Female mouse urine contains a unique UHF-eliciting component which is non-volatile but ephemeral (Sipos et al., 1995). The signal is degraded by oxidation and disappears within 15 to 18 hours of deposition. Direct contact with freshly voided urine must occur before males will vocalise (sexually experienced or inexperienced). At least one of the olfactory systems is needed for UHF to be elicited by fresh urine complete deafferentation abolishes the response (Sipos et al., 1993). Exposure to females permits UHF to be elicited by other than chemical cues (Labov and Wysocki, 1989). Nocturnal or cryptic species conceivably use ultrasound to advertise male presence whether this is to deter other males or assist with female location is unclear.

This formula is devised for treating Heart-Yin and Kidney-Yin deficiency with empty-heat in these organs. The disorder is manifested as anxiousness, irritability, palpitations, difficulty in falling asleep, forgetfulness, nocturnal emissions and tiredness. The dryness due to Yin deficiency and fire consumption causes constipation, a dry mouth and ulcers on the tongue. The red tongue without coating and the rapid, restless and thready pulse indicate Yin deficiency with empty-heat. 

The development in subjects receiving the diet alone was slow, and the effect on height increment and onset of sexual function was strikingly enhanced in those receiving zinc. The zinc-supplemented boys gained considerably more height than those receiving ample protein diet alone. The zinc-supplemented subjects showed evidence of early onset of sexual function, as defined by nocturnal emission in males and menarche in females. The two women described in this report were from hospital clinic and represented the first cases of dwarfism in females because of zinc deficiency (20).

In the nighttime scenario, assume that the height of the nocturnal boundary layer is 100 m and that the vertical mass transfer coefficient across the nocturnal boundary layer is 0.1 m/h. In the daytime scenario, assume efficient mixing up to the planetary boundary layer at 2000 m, and a vertical mass transfer coefficient across the planetary boundary layer of 10 m/h. Using these assumptions, we can represent the two scenarios using the one-compartment box models illustrated in Figure 20.3. Note that in a model of this type we must treat the emission as a volume source that is instantaneously mixed throughout the available volume of air. Characteristics of these two models systems and calculated steady-state concentrations under the two scenarios are presented in Table 20.2.
