Controlling memory and resolving interference : prefrontal contributions to flexible behavior
… the cognitive and neural processes by which flexible performance is enabled during task switching. Chapter 1 reviews major findings and controversies in the task switching literature, highlighting (1) evidence that behavioral switch costs may derive from proactive interference due to the …

Modeling of the UNLV-Aro light-weight robot using Lagrange's assumed mode method, symbolic manipulation, and numerical simulation
… The two outer-most links of the robot exhibited flexible behavior in the in-plane and the out-of-plane directions. Lagrangian mechanics were used to model this system. Assumed modes method was used to approximate the vibration mode shape of the links. Using these analytical techniques in …

Development of Multibody Soft Tissue Models and Their Tuning to Experimental Data: With a Focus in the Canine Meniscus
… modeling techniques in an attempt to capture the flexible behavior of biological tissues inside of a rigid body mechanics software. To accomplish this, segmented multibody models of canine menisci were created and the parameters governing the interaction of adjacent segments were tuned to create …

Understanding computation through low-dimensional dynamics with recurrent neural networks
… to survive in the world. Models of cognition and behavior can be useful for describing the computations that might be performed, but often provide little insight into how they are realized in neural network models. Addressing this disconnect requires tools for better understanding neural …

Modeling Moisture-Induced Damage in Asphalt Concrete
… Humidity (RH%) conditions. Mastic films show flexible behavior due to high RH% conditioning and brittle behavior due to low RH% conditioning in pull-off tests. Increase in elasticity at high RH% conditioning causes a decrease in viscosity in mastic films. Decrease in viscosity of mastic …

From individual behavior to collective structure
… perturbations. The mechanisms underlying flexible division of labor are far from being understood. In order to comprehend how the behavior of individuals gives rise to flexible collective behavior, several questions need to be addressed: We need to know how individuals acquire information …
