What's the difference between devocation and revocation?

Devocation


Definition:

  • (n.) A calling off or away.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Two groups of 30 devocalized ducklings were either (a) stimulated with duckling sounds prenatally and tested to the alarm call at 12 hr posthatch (Expt.
  • (2) In addition, subjects vocalized more when presented with a devocalized female rather than a neutral stimulus.
  • (3) The embryonic vocalization (contact-contentment call) that most closely matched the region of the devocalized ducklings' greatest insensitivity (1,500-2,500 Hz) proved most efficacious in remedying (preventing) the high-frequency perceptual deficit.
  • (4) Several patterns of behavior increased in frequency when the female was devocalized relative to the control condition, but decreased when tape recorded ultrasounds were presented.
  • (5) Our previous work indicates that ducklings that have been devocalized embryonically and reared in auditory isolation exhibit a significant reduction in the incidence of freezing, as compared to vocal ducklings or to devocal ducklings that have been exposed to duckling sounds throughout the perinatal period up to the time of testing at 12 hr posthatch.
  • (6) In the third experiment, tape recorded ultrasounds were placed in the presence of devocalized females while they were copulating with intact males.
  • (7) Devocalization prevents the embryo and hatchling from hearing their own vocalizations all of which happen to be in the high-frequency range (greater than or equal to 1,500 Hz).
  • (8) Females were more likely to move away from the devocalized males before assuming the full lordosis posture.
  • (9) To assess the efficacy of various sounds in preventing this high-frequency perceptual deficit, devocalized-isolated embryos were exposed to one of three calls and tested with normal versus high-frequency attenuated maternal calls 24 hr after hatching.
  • (10) We undertook, through ventral observations of the mating pair, to determine if the female failed to assume or maintain the lordosis posture when mounted by a devocalized male and also to determine if the devocalized male was providing adequate stimulation to induce receptive behavior.
  • (11) Two experiments examined the role of the steroid hormones, estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), and testosterone (T), in activating scent marking and 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations in ovariectomized Long-Evans rats in response to a devocalized male rat.
  • (12) In a preliminary playback study, tape-recorded female ultrasounds were presented to devocalized females paired with intact males.
  • (13) In simultaneous choice tests with normal and filtered maternal calls, devocal-isolated ducklings were much more likely than vocal-communal ducklings to select the mallard maternal call in which the higher frequencies were severely attenuated, thus indicating their relative insensitivity to the higher frequency components of the maternal call.
  • (14) The behavior of females paired with devocalized males was compared with that of females paired with intact males, and in a second experiment tape-recorded vocalizations were played to females paired with devocalized males.
  • (15) In an earlier study, female vocalizations were shown to be associated with female darting: when the female was devocalized, she increased her rate of darting.
  • (16) This broadening of the range of responsiveness on a perceptual dimension (repetition rate) that is basic to species identification accounts for the devocal ducklings' lack of discrimination in the mallard versus chicken call test.
  • (17) On the other hand, the devocal ducklings were as adept as vocal ducklings in selecting the normal mallard maternal cal1 when it was pitted against a low-frequency attenuated mallard call.
  • (18) Furthermore, devocalized adult males, separated by a barrier, were more effective than either devocalized castrated or juvenile males in eliciting vocalizations; in turn, castrates and juveniles were more effective than neutral stimuli.
  • (19) In the first experiment, females copulated with intact males before and after surgical devocalization.
  • (20) This hypothesis proved wrong in that the proportion of devocalized ducklings showing a preference for the normal maternal call over the greater than 825-Hz attenuated one became equivalent to the vocal ducklings at 48 hr after hatching, as did their ability to discriminate the normal maternal call from greater than 1,800-Hz attenuated maternal call.

Revocation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of calling back, or the state of being recalled; recall.
  • (n.) The act by which one, having the right, annuls an act done, a power or authority given, or a license, gift, or benefit conferred; repeal; reversal; as, the revocation of an edict, a power, a will, or a license.

  • (7) If, however, the person so affected believes that there is some problem, this matter will be legally reviewable, as we have said all along.” Asked what kind of conduct would be captured by the provision – such as whether it would be confined to taking up arms or whether it would also include financing and recruiting for terrorist groups – he said: “There will be a series of provisions in the legislation to specify the kind of conduct that is covered, but in broad terms, it is serious involvement with a terrorist group.” Abbott suggested the revocations would not necessarily affect all groups proscribed as terrorist organisations under Australian law.
  • (8) 7 StGB and a reduction respectively a renunciation of minimal period of revocation should give possibility to courts and reprieval authorities to ensure the inclusion of a large number of persons suitable for additional training and in cases of total abstinence traffic authority should regard the aptitude for participation in traffic as regranted.
