Results of laboratory tests on specimens produced from subsoil studies were evaluated tocharacterize geotechnical properties of Tabriz Marl. It was concluded that, Tabriz Marl may be considered as a high liquid limit silt or clay (MH & CH). Range of changes of index, physical and mechanical properties of the Tabriz Marl are comparatively vast. Correlation between these properties has been intro...

Correlations of engineering properties are a useful tool in geotechnical practice. This paper aims to provide correlation between the effective cohesion and plasticity index for natural, undisturbed clay soils from Kozloduy area (NW Bulgaria), based on results laboratory tests. It has been demonstrated that there is strong cohesion. The derived regression equation can be used estimate as first ...

Introduction: Barrel cortex of rats is a part of somatosensory cortex, which receives information from facial whiskers. Vibrisectomy by sensory deprivation leads to some changes in the barrel cortex, which have been known as experience dependent plasticity. On the other hand, Norepinephrine (NE) and locus coeruleus, which is the main source of NE, influenced response properties of cortical bar...

An elastic-plastic model for contacting rough surfaces that is based on accurate Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of an elasticplastic single asperity contact is presented. The plasticity index Ψ is shown to be the main dimensionless parameter that affects the contact of rough surfaces. Below Ψ = 0.6 the contact problem is purely elastic and above Ψ = 8 it is mostly plastic. The mean real contact ...

Interest in liquefaction has increased owing to the increasing occurrence of country. According previous studies, factors that influence include grain size distribution, plasticity, relative density, overconsolidation ratio, and confining conditions. In this study, possibility was evaluated based on distribution soil plasticity. Based a clear correlation between resistance two samples could not...

Purpose: Physical activity is inversely associated with depression in adolescents but the overall associations are fairly weak, suggesting individual differences in the strength of the associations. The aim of this study was to investigate whether plasticity genes modify the reciprocal prospective associations between physical activity and depressive symptoms found previously. Methods: In a pro...

In this chapter we discuss neuroplasticity and consider how VR technology may be used to promote motor learning and rehabilitation. First, we discuss the nature of neuroplasticity and the physiological mechanisms involved in the induction of both shortand long-term changes that enable us to store and retrieve memories for later use. Second, we review how neuroplastic changes can be indexed usin...
