A Strategy for the Prediction of the Response of Hysteretic Systems: A Base for Capacity Assessment of Buildings under Seismic Load

2014

A statistical non linearization method is used to approximate systems modeled by the Bouc differential equa- tion and excited by a Gaussian white noise external load. To this aim restricted potential models (RPM) are used, which are suitable for an extended number of nonlinear problems as have been proved several times. Since the solution of RPM is known by the probabilistic point of view, all statistical characteristics can be derived at once with advantages by the computational point of view. Hence, this paper discusses the possibility to determine sets of parameters characterizing po- tential models that are valid for describing a hysteretic behavior. In this way the characterization of …

Otherwise than quantum

2022

AbstractThe paper focuses on two problems with Alexander Wendt's unification of physical and social ontology on the basis of quantum theory. Firstly, by endowing social phenomena with an ontological foundation in physical reality defined in quantum terms Wendt risks reducing a plurality of worlds as ‘fields of sense’, ordered by their immanent rules, to the physical world ordered by the laws of quantum theory. Secondly, by defining his quantum social science as an ontology Wendt risks excluding from consideration all that which violates ontological laws, yet may still be said to exist or take place: event, potentiality, and alterity. Although the advantages of a scientific ontology are indi…

On Jacques Lacan Psychosis Theory and ERPs Analysis

2012

If properly interpreted, some recent neurolinguistic researches based on the so-called Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) and conducted on patients showing schizophrenic spectrum disorders, seem to confirm the main Jacques Lacan theses on psychosis. In this brief note, we simply want put to the attention the existence of this possible and interesting correlation.

Auditory perceptual learning : evidence from electrophysiological recordings in rodents and humans

2018

Yllättävät muutokset äänimaailmassa viestittävät yleensä selviytymisen kannalta tärkeistä vihjeistä, joten niiden nopea ja automaattinen havaitseminen on tärkeää. Tietoinen harjoittelu mahdollistaa havainto-oppimisen ja oppimisen seurauksena hermostoon muodostuu uusia muistijälkiä. Varhaisessa kehityksessä herkkyyskauden aikana muistijälkien muodostuminen, ihmisellä erityisesti puheäänille, on automaattista, eikä siihen vaadita tietoista harjoittelua. Toisaalta perinteisesti on ajateltu, että herkkyyskauden jälkeen vain aktiivinen harjoittelu johtaa uusien muistijälkien muodostumiseen. Muutoksen havaitsemisen hermostollista perustaa voidaan tutkia mittaamalla aivojen sähköisiä jännitevastei…

Neurophysiological markers of subjective memory complaints in healthy people

2022

Con el envejecimiento de la población es importante comprender los cambios neurofisiológicos que se producen. En este contexto, las quejas subjetivas de la memoria (QSM) se están convirtiendo en un tema de interés ya que se han considerado un factor de riesgo para desarrollar trastornos relacionados con demencias como el deterioro cognitivo leve y enfermedad de Alzheimer. Por lo tanto, es importante investigar los biomarcadores tempranos para la detección y la planificación de los tratamientos. En este sentido, el procesamiento de emociones faciales es una importante función cognitiva comúnmente afectada en personas con trastornos relacionados con demencias que podría ayudar a analizar camb…

Logistics potentials of success as the factors affecting firm performance

2019

Firms are permanently looking for ways to achieve expected market and economic outcomes, which are the basis for superior performance as well as strong, long-term competitive advantage. The most important market outcomes are: (1) customer satisfaction, (2) customer loyalty, and (3) marketshare. In turn, the most important economic outcomes are: (1) profit, (2) profitability, and (3) return on investment (ROI). In achieving such performance and advantage the important role is assigned - among others - to the so-called logistics potentials of success. Logistics potentials of success are significant parts of the “general” firm potentials of success, which comprise: (1) resources, (2) capabilit…

Marine food web perspective to fisheries-induced evolution

2021

Fisheries exploitation can cause genetic changes in heritable traits of targeted stocks. The direction of selective pressure forced by harvest acts typically in reverse to natural selection and selects for explicit life-histories, usually for younger and smaller spawners with deprived spawning potential. While the consequences that such selection might have on the populational dynamics of a single species are well emphasised, we are just beginning to perceive the variety and severity of its propagating effects within the entire marine food webs and ecosystems. Here, we highlight the potential pathways in which fishing-induced evolution, driven by size-selective fishing, might resonate throu…
