The formation of long-term memory requires protein synthesis, particularly during initial memory consolidation. This process also seems to be dependant upon protein degradation, particularly degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The aim of this study was to investigate the temporal requirement of protein synthesis and degradation during the initial consolidation of allocentric spatial...

Shield construction has the advantages of stable driving speed, saving manpower, and being able to carry out in complex strata, which been more widely used. In process shield construction, there is a gap between body segment, easy cause ground settlement when grouting speed cannot keep up. This paper summarizes common methods predict surface settlement, analyzes causes lists an engineering case...

Abstract In the present study, using instrumentation data regarding vertical and horizontal displacement of dam have been analyzed. Also, largest most critical section Marvak earth is modeled with behavioral model Mohr–Coulomb by GeoStudio software. Numerical modeling has done considering actual embankment conditions to analyze changes immediate settlement during construction consolidation just...

O ne of the key roles banks have traditionally played is in the execution of payments among participants in the economy. Liabilities issued by banks, such as demand deposits, are a primary means of payment. The widespread acceptability of such private liabilities requires a reliable method for the settlement of such obligations. In a world where people and economic activity are dispersed in spa...

Structured settlement underwriting is the underwriting of medically impaired lives for the purchase of an annuity to fund the settlement. Other than risk assessment, structured settlement (SS) underwriting has little in common with traditional life insurance underwriting. Most noteworthy of these differences is the relative lack of actuarial data on which to base decisions about mortality and t...

Previous comparative analyses of gross and net settlement have focused on the credit risk of the central counterparty in net settlement arrangements, and on the incentives for participants to alter the risk of the portfolio under net settlement. By modeling the trading economy that generates the demand for payment services, we are able to show some largely unexplored advantages of net settlemen...

This paper describes the behavior of soft soil foundation under vacuum-assisted preloading at the Second Bangkok International Airport, Thailand. An analytical solution considering the variation of soil permeability and compressibility is proposed. The associated settlement and excess pore pressure at the embankment centerline are predicted and compared with the available field measurement. The...

The development and extension of large cities induced a need for shallow tunnel in soft ground of building areas. Estimation of ground settlement caused by the tunnel excavation is important engineering point. In this paper, prediction of surface subsidence caused by tunneling in one section of seventh line of Tehran subway is considered. On the basis of studied geotechnical conditions of the r...

So far insufficient research has been done on the long-term behavior of micropiles embedded in a clay medium, even though this significant influence expected total settlement. This paper considers square foundation placed bed and tested under vertical loads until reached its bearing capacity. Subsequently, plate was underpinned with four micropiles, load test repeated. These data were used to v...

Due to the scarcity of useable land in Hong Kong, it is a common practice to reclaim land from the sea. The reclaimed land usually undergoes a long period of settlement that may affect building structures and underground facilities such as water supply and sewage systems built on the land. Measurements of land settlement can provide valuable data for assessing the impacts of land settlement and...
