Autism and Social Disconnection in Interpersonal Rocking

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2013
Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have significant visuomotor processing deficits, atypical motoric behavior, and often substantial problems connecting socially. We suggest that the perceptual, attentional, and adaptive timing deficiencies

Enhanced Prediction of Rocking and Sliding of Rigid Blocks Using a Modified Semi-Analytical Approach and Optimized Finite Element Modeling

Buildings
Accurate prediction of the rocking and sliding response of free-standing rigid blocks under seismic excitation remains challenging, particularly in regimes where rocking and sliding are strongly coupled and motion mode transitions occur.

Behavior of a Rock Mass in Uplift Field Tests of Rock Anchors

Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 2023
AbstractRock anchors are high-capacity reinforcement measures used to stabilize large-scale infrastructures. According to the literature, they can fail in one of the four ways: (1) steel tensile failure; (2) tendon–grout interface failure; (3) grout–rock interface failure; and (4) rock mass uplift failure. Rock mass uplift field tests were performed in
