The purpose of this study is to survey cross section changes of the animal brain samples during the tension and compression tests and comparison of the experimental results for three animals: bovine, sheep, and rabbit. A linear elastic theory with considering the necking in tension and barreling in compression has been considered for brain tissue. Bridgman method for tension and cross section u...

Introduction: Voxel based morphometry is a type of statistical parametric mapping that can be used to investigate the effect of diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease or other agent such as skills on brain structure (white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluid). The aim of this study is evaluate the effectiveness of this method in detection of differen...

To improve the economic benefits of engineered cementitious composites and control repair cycle, materials were designed, with key components mixture being low-cost polypropylene (PP) fibers fast-setting sulfoaluminate cement. The effects water/binder ratio, fiber content, aggregate particle size on flowability, mechanical properties, toughness fiber-reinforced composite (PP-SACC) explored. Bas...

The special section on the neural substrate of relational reasoning includes 4 articles that address the processes and brain regions involved in analogical reasoning (Green, Kraemer, Fugelsang, Gray, & Dunbar, 2011; Maguire, McClelland, Donovan, Tillman, & Krawczyk, 2011) and in metaphor comprehension (Chettih, Durgin, & Grodner, 2011; Prat, Mason, & Just, 2011). We see this work as an example ...

Landslide induced by underground mining is the main type of geological disaster in Guizhou Province. The spatial position mined-out area key factor affecting deformation evolution landslides. Three typical mining-induced slopes western Province are selected to establish engineering model. orthogonal experimental design carried out with relative slope shoulder (PM) and height (SH) as variables, ...

introduction: this paper investigates the relationships between extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism dimensions with brain / behavioral systems. methods: randomly selected 128 female university students in tehran completed gray-wilson personality questionnaire and eysenck personality questionnaire-reversion, using pearson correlation coefficiency and regression analysis, result: the resul...

In this study, we first define the uncertain linguistic Choquet averaging (ULCA) operator and the generalized Shapley uncertain linguistic Choquet averaging (GS-ULCA) operator. Especially, the GS-ULCA operator does not only globally consider the importance of the elements and their ordered positions, but also overall reflect the correlations among them and their ordered positions. Meantime, som...

The existing Elders Health Assessment (EHA) system based on single-case-library reasoning has low intelligence level, poor coordination, and limited capabilities of assessment decision support. To effectively support knowledge reuse of EHA system, this paper proposes collaborative case reasoning and applies it to the whole knowledge reuse process of EHA system. It proposes a multi-case library ...
