Studies of two nanoscale systems with important engineering applications, Al-Si nanocomposites and Au nanoasperities, are investigated using molecular dynamics. The first system is studied in …
Over the past decade, nanotwinned metals have attracted considerable attention due to their exceptional mechanical properties, such as ultra-high strength, good tensile ductility, high fracture …
Early development of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) brain is a dynamic but systematic process. Over a period of days, there is an incredible, …
Abstract of “Enhancing Visual Perceptual Learning Through Reward and Sleep” by Aaron V. Berard, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2016 Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is defined …
Length scale effects in plastic deformation, restrictions on plastic deformation, and realistic simulation of fracture behavior are critical for future engineering design and reliability. Plastic …
The automobile industry drives a great deal of research towards understanding the mechanical behavior of high-strength steels. Two important behaviors exhibited by these materials are …
Visual perceptual learning (VPL) goes through temporal dynamics of consolidation after the offset of visual training. This temporal dynamics of consolidation consists of at least …
Human brain processing declines with aging and reveals cognitive and perceptual impairments. Previous researches on cognitive neuroscience in aging have provided evidence on the relationship …
