Modal Analysis of Beam Structures with Random Field Models at Multiple Scales by Dan Feng

“…Structure material properties are heterogeneous in nature and would be characterized with different statistics at different length scales due to the spatially averaging effects. This work develops a framework for the modal analysis of beam structures with random field models at multiple scales. …”

Negotiating Interior Frontiers: Lara Haddad’s A Question of History (2015–16) by Dorota Golańska

“…Bringing together insights originating in law studies and art analysis, this article approaches the work of the US-based Syrian artist Lara Haddad through the figuration of “interior frontiers,” exposing how both “interior bonds” and “internal borders” tended to shape legal regulations introduced in the US in the aftermath of 9/11 for the purpose of conducting “the global war on terror.” Referring to the concept of “plasticity,” the article examines the intimate (dis)identifications experienced by the artist in the context of the politically saturated cultural discourses on violence which emerged from the post-9/11 spatialities of (inter)national law. …”

Modeling visual working memory using recurrent on-center off-surround neural network with distance dependent inhibition by Rakesh Sengupta

“…Abstract This paper presents a computational model of visual working memory (VWM) that simulates the processing of spatially distributed objects and their features. The model emphasizes the prioritization of object-related information before feature-related processing, effectively reversing the conventional feedforward order in visual perception. …”

Power efficiency of outer hair cell somatic electromotility. by Richard D Rabbitt, Sarah Clifford, Kathryn D Breneman, Brenda Farrell, William E Brownell

“…The model includes a mixture-composite constitutive model of the active lateral wall and spatially distributed electro-mechanical fields. The analysis predicts that: 1) the peak power efficiency is likely to be tuned to a specific frequency, dependent upon OHC length, and this tuning may contribute to the place principle and frequency selectivity in the cochlea; 2) the OHC power output can be detuned and attenuated by increasing the basal conductance of the cell, a parameter likely controlled by the brain via the efferent system; and 3) power output efficiency is limited by mechanical properties of the load, thus suggesting that impedance of the organ of Corti may be matched regionally to the OHC. …”
