Effects of emotional valence have been observed in lexical decision tasks, suggesting that valence information modulates early word recognition. However, is still unclear the processing advantage of the different valence categories, and how these advantages might be modulated by word frequency and arousal. To clarify this question, a lexical decision task was designed using emotional words as stimuli. Emotional words were divided into three categories: 60 positive, 60 negative, and 60 neutral words. ...

The effects of two different slipping methods on the survival, physical and physiological response of sardines, Sardina pilchardus, captured in a purse-seine fishery were investigated in southern Portugal. Sardines were collected and transferred into holding tanks onboard a commercial fishing vessel after being captured, crowded and deliberately released using two slipping procedures: standard and modified. The standard slipping procedure aggregated fish at high densities and made them "roll over" ...

The aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density and vitamin D metabolism in patients on chronic anticonvulsant therapy. METHODS: Sixty-nine men, outpatients on chronic anticonvulsant therapy, who had been treated for at least 5 years, were studied, comparing them to thirty healthy controls. Bone mineral density was measured as well as serum levels of calcium, ionized calcium, alkaline phosphatase, PTH, 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. RESULTS: No differences ...

Repair costs of structures subjected to intense seismic activity are influenced by the maximum and residual displacements they experience. As a result, the relevance of re-centring in seismic protection has been highlighted in recent research involving new materials, of which shape memory alloys stand out, opening up new possibilities in the field of motion control of structures. In this paper, the concept of a new semi-active damping device based on superelastic shape memory alloys, developed in ...

Shape memory alloys are used in a variety of fields, such as medical or aeronautical. Other fields of knowledge have been researching these materials, attracted by their capacity to dissipate energy through high-strain hysteretic cycles without significant residual strains. Because of these interesting properties for seismic protection, an example of the possible beneficiaries of these materials are civil engineering structures. This paper reports a bibliographic review on the characteristics and ...

Due to the nature of seismic inversion problems, there are multiple possible solutions that can equally fit the observed seismic data while diverging from the real subsurface model. Consequently, it is important to assess how inverse-impedance models are converging toward the real subsurface model. For this purpose, we evaluated a new methodology to combine the multidimensional scaling (MDS) technique with an iterative geostatistical elastic seismic inversion algorithm. The geostatistical inversion ...

Abstract The cyclic behavior of a composite timber-masonry wall was evaluated in quasi-static conditions. The wall was conceived to replicate a traditional partition wall of the downtown area of Lisbon, rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. The wall presented an almost linear behavior for small displacements, followed by a plastic deformation zone where significant inelastic behavior was observed. On a second stage, superelastic dampers based on the hysteretic behavior of NiTi wires were also installed ...

This paper is focused on the study of an earthquake protection system, the tuned liquid damper (TLD), which can, if adequately designed, reduce earthquake demands on buildings. This positive effect is accomplished taking into account the oscillation of the free surface of a fluid inside a tank (sloshing). The behaviour of an isolated TLD, subjected to a sinusoidal excitation at its base, with different displacement amplitudes, was studied by finite element analysis. The efficiency of the TLD in improving ...

Tensile tests were conducted in order to evaluate the cyclic behaviour of superelastic Ni–Ti wires for civil engineering applications. Different load–unload cycling frequencies, maximum elongation and pre-strain levels were tested. Phase transformation temperatures were determined by using electrical resistivity method and differential scanning calorimetry. No variation on energy dissipation was observed with increase of frequency, although an increase in cycling amplitude increased energy dissipation. ...

Masonry buildings frequently present unsatisfactory behavior under seismic activity, due to the poor resistance of the masonry walls to tensile stresses and to the presence of flexible wooden floors. This paper presents a comparative study of the performance of different seismic retrofitting techniques, implemented in a model of an existing masonry building. The first part of the study considers the testing of different methodologies to strengthen the building floors, to enable them to behave as ...

Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous condition in which the typical features appear significantly earlier in life (before 65 years). Mutations in three genes (PSEN1, PSEN2, and APP) have been identified in autosomal dominant forms of EOAD. However, in about 50% of Mendelian cases and in most of the sporadic EOAD patients, no mutations have been found. We present clinical characteristics of an Israeli family comprising two affected siblings with EOAD born ...
