    Hero Dogs White Paper Working Dogs: Building Humane Communities with Man’S Best Friend

    Hero Dogs White Paper Working Dogs: Building Humane Communities with Man’s Best Friend INTRODUCTION Humankind has always had a special relationship with canines. For thousands of years, dogs have comforted us, protected us, and given us their unconditional love. Time and time again through the ages they have proven why they are considered our best friends. Yet, not only do dogs serve as our beloved companions, they are also a vital part of keeping our communities healthy, safe and humane. American Humane Association has recognized the significant contributions of working dogs over the past five years with our annual Hero Dog Awards® national campaign. Dogs are nominated in multiple categories from communities across the country, with winners representing many of the working dog categories. The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards are an opportunity to educate many about the contributions of working dogs in our daily lives. This paper provides further background into their contributions to building humane communities. Dogs have served as extensions of human senses and abilities throughout history and, despite advancements in technology, they remain the most effective way to perform myriad tasks as working dogs. According to Helton (2009a, p. 5), “the role of working dogs in society is far greater than most people know and is likely to increase, not diminish, in the future.” Whether it’s a guide dog leading her sight-impaired handler, a scent detection dog patrolling our airports, or a military dog in a war zone searching for those who wish to do us harm, working dogs protect and enrich human lives.

    Folliculogenesis and Fertilization in the Domestic Dog: Application to Biomedical Research, Medicine, and Conservation

    FOLLICULOGENESIS AND FERTILIZATION IN THE DOMESTIC DOG: APPLICATION TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICINE, AND CONSERVATION A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Jennifer Beth Nagashima August 2015 © Jennifer Beth Nagashima FOLLICULOGENESIS AND FERTILIZATION IN THE DOMESTIC DOG: APPLICATIONS TO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, MEDICINE, AND CONSERVATION Jennifer Beth Nagashima, Ph.D. Cornell University 2015 Understanding of reproductive biology in canids, including the domestic dog, is surprisingly limited. This includes the regulators of ovarian follicle development, and mechanisms of anestrus termination, fertilization and embryo development. In turn, this lack of understanding has limited our ability to develop assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for endangered canid conservation efforts. ART of interest include in vitro follicle culture for maternal genome rescue, estrus induction protocols, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Here, we describe: 1) Studies evaluating the stage-specific requirements for follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and activin on domestic dog follicle development in vitro. We demonstrate the beneficial effects of FSH and activin on growth, and activin on antrum expansion and oocyte health in short term culture. 2) Evaluation of serum collected during the anestrus to estrus transition revealing a significant increase in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) during proestrus, likely originating from increased numbers of antral follicles during this time. 3) The birth of the first live puppies from IVF embryos utilizing in vivo matured oocytes. Further, consistently high rates of embryo production are obtained using the described system, with no effect of progesterone supplementation to embryo culture media.

For the USA, supplying the IAEA with gifts was not only the cost of International Atomic Energy Agency “doing business” in the new nuclear international setting of the Cold War, but also indispensable in Technoscientific diplomatic gift maintaining authority and keeping the upper hand within the IAEA and in the international regulation of Mobile radioisotope laboratories nuclear energy. The transformation of a technoscientific artefact into a diplomatic gift with political Nuclear history Gift diplomacy strings attached for both giver and receiver, positions the lab qua gift as a critical key that simultaneously unlocks the overlapping histories of international affairs, Cold War diplomacy, and postwar nuclear science. Embracing political epistemology as my primary methodological framework and introducing the gift as a major analytic category, I emphasize the role of material objects in modeling scientific research and training in a way that is dictated by diplomatic negotiations, state power, and international legal arrangements. © 2021 The Author(s).
