In this thesis, a simple law of adhesion with "digital" decohesion is proposed for modeling unilateral contact with adhesion, together with a stable experiment based on an original axisymmetric epoxy-stamp on glass-disc specimen for measuring the relevant ...
We introduce {\em bounded asynchrony}, a notion of `concurrency tailored to the modeling of biological cell-cell interactions. Bounded asynchrony is the result of a scheduler that bounds the number of steps that one process get ahead of other processes; th ...
As opposed to database transactional systems, transactional memory (TM) systems are constrained by real-time while treating their input workload. Nevertheless, there is no clear formalization of how a TM should react regarding to a specific input. While TM ...
As online stores are offering an almost unlimited shelf space, users must increasingly rely on product search and recommender systems to find their most preferred products and decide which item is the truly best one to buy. However, much research work has ...
The present study examined, in children aged 4-11 and in adults, the postural control modifications when attention was oriented voluntary on postural sway. Since (1) there are less attentional resources in children than in adults, (2) the selective attenti ...
Humans normally experience the conscious self as localized within their bodily borders. This spatial unity may break down in certain neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences, leading to a striking disturbance of bodily self-consciousness. On ...
We present a novel framework for automatically constraining parameters of compartmental models of neurons, given a large set of experimentally-measured responses of these neurons. In experiments, intrinsic noise gives rise to a large variability (e.g., in ...
Mental rotation of body parts is performed through inner simulation of actual movements, and is likely to rely upon cortical and subcortical systems (e.g. motor and premotor areas and basal ganglia) involved in motor planning and execution. Studies indicat ...
The objective of the present work is that of making a contribution to the performance-based seismic design of RC buildings with U-shaped walls. Since U-shaped walls are often placed at the perimeter of a building and are typically stiffer and stronger than ...
The aim of this work is to obtain a better understanding of the morphological development in alpine river confluences, where special attention is given to the widening of the tributary channel and its influence on bed morphology evolution. Hydraulic tests ...
