Capacity design is an important tool that enables controlled ductile response of structures when subjected to earthquakes. The need for specific capacity design requirements for walls coupled by deep coupling beams, however, is often overlooked and it is a ...
There is recognition that biomedical research into the causes of mental disorders and their treatment needs to adopt new approaches to research. Novel biomedical techniques have advanced our understanding of how the brain develops and is shaped by behaviou ...
Stressful life events during childhood and adolescence are important risk factors for the development of psychopathologies later in life. The corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and the CRH receptor 1 (CRHR1) have been implicated in the link between earl ...
This paper tackles the problem of multi-robot odor distribution mapping through time series analysis. Considering the conditions of real world environments where the chemical concentration distribution is patchy, intermittent and time-variant, we propose a ...
In this paper, we investigate the following problem: given the image of a scene, what is the trajectory that a robot-mounted camera should follow to allow optimal dense depth estimation? The solution we propose is based on maximizing the information gain o ...
We investigate the role of obstacle avoidance in visually guided reaching and grasping movements. We report on a human study in which subjects performed prehensile motion with obstacle avoidance where the position of the obstacle was systematically varied ...
In 2008, FAO and WAAP published a report on production environment descriptors for animal genetic resources. One of the main conclusions was that it was necessary to quickly systematize the recording of breeds’ geographical coordinates worldwide in order t ...
Research suggests that massive open online course (MOOC) students prefer to study in groups, and that social facilitation within the study groups may render the learning of difficult concepts a pleasing experience. We report on a longitudinal study that in ...
How to attenuate traumatic memories has long been the focus of intensive research efforts, as traumatic memories are extremely persistent and heavily impinge on the quality of life. Despite the fact that traumatic memories are often not readily amenable to ...
In medical practice, the decision-making process regarding drug dose is critical to patients’ health and recovery. For drugs with narrow therapeutic ranges, the medical doctor decides the quantity (dose amount) and frequency (dose interval) on the basis of ...
