Impact of Mitofusin 2 in the Nucleus Accumbens on motivated behavior and underlying neurobiological mechanisms

Alessandro Chioino

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is part of the ventral striatum and plays a major role in motivation and goal-directed behaviour. Increasing evidence implicates impairments in accumbal function in anxiety and depression, two conditions that are commonly accomp ...

A Privacy-Preserving Querying Mechanism with High Utility for Electric Vehicles

Sayan Biswas

Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more popular due to environmental consciousness. The limited availability of charging stations (CSs), compared to the number of EVs on the road, has led to increased range anxiety and a higher frequency of CS queries du ...

Pore-pressure coefficients for unsaturated soils: generalized effective stress approach

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Geotechnical problems with total stress changes occurring rapidly relative to the soil consolidation time can be conveniently addressed using an effective stress-based approach. For saturated states, analytical formulations of pore-pressure coefficients ad ...

On the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media with consideration on chemical effects

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Angelica Tuttolomondo

Experimental geomechanics highlights that the mechanical behavior of expansive porous media is variable depending on the pore water chemical composition. These porous media are typically characterized by clay particles, whose activity (Skempton, 1953) (and ...
