Object permanence in dogs: Invisible displacement in a rotation task [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2009
Dogs were tested for object permanence using an invisible displacement in which an object was hidden in one of two containers at either end of a beam and the beam was rotated. Consistent with earlier research, when the beam was rotated 180 degrees , the dogs failed to find the object.

Dynamic Analysis of the Seismo-Dynamic Response of Anti-Dip Bedding Rock Slopes Using a Three-Dimensional Discrete-Element Method

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Earthquakes are a major external factor that induce landslides. In order to systematically study the dynamic effects and failure mechanism of anti-dip bedding rock slopes (the slope trend is the same as the joint trend, while the slope dip direction is ...

ON THERE AND THEN: FROM OBJECT PERMANENCE TO DISPLACED REFERENCE [PDF]

open access: yesThe Evolution of Language, 2008
In the current debate about the emergence of language, researchers have looked for various sources of indirect evidence, either by comparing animals and humans, by analyzing the linguistic structure of certain present-day human languages or by constructing computer models.

A Review of the Methods Calculating the Horizontal Displacement for Modular Reinforced Soil Retaining Walls

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Most of the damage to reinforced retaining walls is caused by excessive deformation; however, there is no calculation method for deformation under static and dynamic loads in the design codes of reinforced soil retaining walls.

The Influence of Vertical Seismic Acceleration on the Triggering of Landslides Constrained by Bedding Faults under an Inertial Frame Reference: The Case of the Daguangbao (DGB) Landslide

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The Daguangbao (DGB) landslide was the largest landslide that was triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake with a magnitude of Ms8.0. The sliding surface of this landslide was constrained on a bedding fault 400 m below the ground surface.

Baseline correction for near-fault ground motion recordings of the 2008 Wenchuan Ms8.0 earthquake

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2012
In this study, both records of a digital accelerometer and a seismograph at a far-field station for the 2008 Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake were analyzed, and a pulsive noise model for acceleration record was found.

AN APPROACH TO SEISMIC PERMANENT DISPLACEMENT OF SLOPES

open access: yesDoboku Gakkai Ronbunshu, 2000
A new concept of Newmark's sliding block method for predicting permanent displacements of earth slopes subjected to seismic loading is presented. Horizontal ground acceleration is used as input motion to move a rigid circular sliding block inside an embankment.

First Assessment of the Permanent Scatterer Linear Displacement Model in Airborne InSAR Time Series

open access: yes, 2009
This paper presents the very first assessment of the permanent scatterer (PS) technique for airborne data. A data set of 14 SAR images at L-band, acquired over the Oberpfaffenhofen area on the same day with the E-SAR system of the German Aerospace ...

Mechanism of Permanent Displacement of Ground Caused by Seismic Liquefaction

open access: yesSoils and Foundations, 1992
ABSTRACT This paper concerns with the mechanism of the permanent lateral displacement of ground induced by seismic liquefaction. The present study consists of three series of shaking table tests of both large and small scales. The test results demonstrated that the ground movement occurs in the same direction as that of the total head gradient as ...
