Using identity premium for cooperation enforcement and whitewashing prevention in rational environments

One fundamental issue in existing reputation mechanisms, particularly those in open and decentralized multi-agent systems, is whitewashing attacks by rational providers. If identities are cheap, it is beneficial for a provider to simply defect when selling ...

Topologie des champs de contraintes pour le dimensionnement des structures en béton armé

Neven Kostic

The stress field method, which is based on the lower bound theorem of plasticity, provides an unlimited number of solutions allowing to carry the applied loads to the supports for a given structure. This possibility which gives a large freedom to designing ...

Stress effects on working memory, explicit memory, and implicit memory for neutral and emotional stimuli in healthy men

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

Stress is a strong modulator of memory function. However, memory is not a unitary process and stress seems to exert different effects depending on the memory type under study. Here, we explored the impact of social stress on different aspects of human memo ...

Sensory Attributes of Complex Tasting Divalent Salts Are Mediated by TRPM5 and TRPV1 Channels

Horst Vogel, Céline Riera

Complex tasting divalent salts (CTDS) are present in our daily diet, contributing to multiple poorly understood taste sensations. CTDS evoking metallic, bitter, salty, and astringent sensations include the divalent salts of iron, zinc, copper, and magnesiu ...

High volume fraction particulate and interpenetrating phase composites (IPC)

Ghodratollah Roudini

The role of reinforcing phase contiguity in high volume fraction particulate composites is investigated using model composites of pure aluminium reinforced with α-Al2O3 particles. To produce the composites, alumina particle (5µm) preforms were either loose ...

Elastic properties of chemically derived single graphene sheets

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard

The elastic modulus of freely suspended graphene monolayers, obtained via chemical reduction of graphene oxide, was determined through tip-induced deformation experiments. Despite their defect content, the single sheets exhibit an extraordinary stiffness ( ...

Analysis of taste processing in rat gustatory cortex

Riccardo Accolla

Gustatory perception is a complex phenomenon involving the recognition of sensory properties of a food (taste modality and intensity, flavour, texture, fat content, temperature) as well as its reward value (pleasantness and nutritional value). The sense of ...

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 ...

Post-training administration of a synthetic peptide ligand of the neural cell adhesion molecule, C3d, attenuates long-term expression of contextual fear conditioning

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a key role in synaptic plasticity and memory formation. We have recently developed a synthetic peptide, termed C3d, which, through the binding to the first, N-terminal immunoglobulin-like (Ig) module in the ex ...

Matrix Modification for Improved Reinforcement Effectiveness in Polypropylene/Glass Fibre Composites

The influence of matrix modification on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and the mechanical performance of polypropylene/glass fibre composites is investigated. Two different modifiers were used: a highly reactive hyperbranched polymer grafted polypro ...
