Analysis and design of an innovative solution for tunnels using elastic-plastic stress fields

Aurelio Muttoni, Stefano Campana

For the conception of cut-and-cover tunnel, two solutions are usually considered to define the cross-section : an arch/vault or a frame. The vault enables an optimal static behavior in case of a large soil cover and symmetric loads. However, this solution ...

Keeping in touch with one's self: multisensory mechanisms of self-consciousness

Olaf Blanke, Jane Aspell, Bigna Lenggenhager

BACKGROUND: The spatial unity between self and body can be disrupted by employing conflicting visual-somatosensory bodily input, thereby bringing neurological observations on bodily self-consciousness under scientific scrutiny. Here we designed a novel par ...

Thermo-mechanical response of UHPFRC at early age — Experimental study and numerical simulation

Eugen Brühwiler, Emmanuel Denarié, Hamid Sadouki, Aicha Kamen

The thermal effects on the Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) behavior are still not completely known. Under high temperatures, the processes that interact at early age are thermo-activated. All the experimental results obtained with ...

Upregulation of polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule in the dorsal hippocampus after contextual fear conditioning is involved in long-term memory formation

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The role of the hippocampus in pavlovian fear conditioning is controversial. Although lesion and pharmacological inactivation studies have suggested a key role for the dorsal hippocampus in contextual fear conditioning, the involvement of the ventral part ...

Behavioral Analysis of Mobile Robot Trajectories Using a Point Distribution Model

Alcherio Martinoli, Jacques Jacot, Pierre Roduit

In recent years, the advent of robust tracking systems has enabled behavioral analysis of individuals based on their trajectories. An analysis method based on a Point Distribution Model (PDM) is presented here. It is an unsupervised modeling of the traject ...

Differences in corticosterone level due to inter-food interval length: implications for schedule-induced polydipsia

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of different food-reinforcement schedules on plasma corticosterone (CORT), and its possible involvement in the acquisition and maintenance of schedule-induced polydipsia (SIP). In Experiment 1, three g ...

A predictive mechanism for dynamic strain ageing in aluminium-magnesium alloys

William Curtin

Dynamic strain ageing (DSA) is the phenomenon in which solute atoms diffuse around dislocations and retard dislocation motion, leading to negative strain-rate sensitivity (nSRS) and thus to material instabilities during processing, an important issue in co ...

‘Location is not enough!’: an Empirical Study of Location-Awareness in Mobile Collaboration

Pierre Dillenbourg, Nicolas Nova

There is an ever growing number of mobile learning applications based on location-awareness, However, there is still a lack of information concerning how it might impact socio-cognitive processes involved in collaboration. This is what the following empiri ...

Exposure to retrieval cues improves retention performance and induces changes in ACTH and corticosterone release

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Memory retrieval can be facilitated by pretest exposure to cues associated with the original training. The present series of experiments was aimed at investigating whether the effectiveness of the retrieval cues might be due to their emotional value and th ...
