چکیده

Dick Byrne is Professor of Evolutionary Psychology at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. He studies the evolution of cognition, and has investigated a wide range of animal capacities — vocal and gestural communication, deception, social comprehension, mental mapping, causal knowledge and the acquisition of novel manual skills. After training in cognitive psychology, he turned to primate fieldwork, with studies of African baboons, chimpanzees and gorillas. More recently, his focus has broadened to include other mammal species, collaborating with specialists to undertake experimental work on domestic pigs, and analysis of observational data on social cognition in the African elephant. Dick has frequently challenged assumptions within psychology that relate all subtleties of human behaviour to language, and his work has done much to bring evolutionary biology back to psychology. His book “The Thinking Ape” (OUP, 1995) was awarded the British Psychological Society’s book prize.

A 3D elasto-plastic FEM program developed for reservoir Geomechanics simulations: Introduction and case studies

The development of yielded or failure zone due to an engineering construction is a subject of study in different disciplines. In Petroleum engineering, depletion from and injection of gas into a porous rock can cause development of a yield zone around the reservoir. Studying this phenomenon requires elasto-plastic analysis of geomaterial, in this case the porous rocks. In this study, which is a...
