13. AnÃlise mÃsico-literÃria dos poemas de Walt Hitman, AntÃnio Francisco da Costa e Silva e LÃopold SÃdar Senghor
Cette thÃse examine la prÃsence de la musique dans la polygraphie poÃtique de Walt Whitman, de Antonio Francisco da Costa e Silva et de LÃopold SÃdar Senghor. Bien quâils soient de diffÃrentes Ãpoques, qui sâÃtendent du XIXÃme siÃcle au XXÃme; de diffÃrentes cultures (amÃricaine, brÃsilienne, franÃaise et senegalaise); et encore de diffÃren

14. A produção do mobiliário urbano nos espaços públicos :o desenho do mobiliário urbano nos projetos de reordenamento das orlas do Rio Grande do Norte
Este trabalho analisa e avalia o Desenho de Mobiliário Urbano para os espaços públicos nos Projetos de Reordenamento da Orlas do Rio Grande do Norte, estabelecendo relações entre a paisagem urbana dos espaços públicos revitalizados sejam eles de interesse cultural, paisagístico e/ou turístico, e o processo de intervenção do Desenho na configuraç�

15. Da ruina ao edificio : neogotico, reinterpretação e preservação do passado na Inglaterra vitoriana
This doctoral thesis, focusing on the Gothic revival and medievalism in history, architecture and fine arts in nineteenth-century Britain, deals with the strategies for interpreting the historical past in the industrial town. Taking Manchester as the paradigm of the industrial city, the study begins with the historical debate about the local past, in the wak

16. Ornaments of the earliest Upper Paleolithic: New insights from the Levant
Two sites located on the northern Levantine coast, Üçağızlı Cave (Turkey) and Ksar 'Akil (Lebanon) have yielded numerous marine shell beads in association with early Upper Paleolithic stone tools. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon dates indicate ages between 39,000 and 41,000 radiocarbon years (roughly 41,000–43,000 calendar years) for t

17. Male ornament size as a reliable cue to enhanced offspring viability in the barn swallow.
Many extravagant secondary sexual characters are assumed to have evolved as a result of female choice, either because they attract females or because they reliably reflect the quality of males. Females mating with the most ornamented individuals with a superior genotype are expected to benefit by producing more viable offspring. A viability advantage associa

18. Female preference for swords in Xiphophorus helleri reflects a bias for large apparent size
Swordtail fish (Poeciliidae: genus Xiphophorus) are a paradigmatic case of sexual selection by sensory exploitation. Female preference for males with a conspicuous “sword” ornament is ancestral, suggesting that male morphology has evolved in response to a preexisting bias. The perceptual mechanisms underlying female mate choice have not been identified,

19. Runaway ornament diversity caused by Fisherian sexual selection
Fisher’s runaway process of sexual selection is potentially an important force generating character divergence between closely related populations. We investigated the evolution of multiple female preferences by Fisher’s runaway process. There are two outcomes of runaway. The first is the evolution of mate preference to a stable equilibrium. This ev

20. Field crickets change mating preferences using remembered social information
Plasticity in female mate choice can fundamentally alter selection on male ornaments, but surprisingly few studies have examined the role of social learning in shaping female mating decisions in invertebrates. We used the field cricket Teleogryllus oceanicus to show that females retain information about the attractiveness of available males based on previous

21. Male mate choice selects for female coloration in a fish
Although sexual selection theory has proved successful in explaining a wide array of male ornaments, the function of ornaments occurring in females is largely unknown. Traditionally, female ornaments have been considered nonfunctional, being merely a genetically correlated response to selection for male ornamentation. However, this hypothesis is only relevan
