Evaluation of Features in Detection of Dislike Responses to Audio–Visual Stimuli from EEG Signals
(2020-04-20)
There is a strong correlation between the like/dislike responses to audio–visual stimuli and the emotional arousal and valence reactions of a person. In the present work, our attention is focused on the automated detection ...
Assessing the quality of concrete – reinforcement interface in Self Compacting Concrete
(2020-04-20)
Research has shown that even self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixtures can exhibit the so-called “top-bar effect” which impacts bond and anchorage. Several instances of conflicting results have nevertheless been published ...
Thermoresponsive systems composed of poloxamer 407 and HPMC or NaCMC: mechanical, rheological and sol-gel transition analysis
(2020-04-15)
Poloxamer 407 (polox407) is widely studied as thermogelling polymer, transitioning to a gel state when warmed Polox407 forms weak hydrogels with rapid dissolution in excess solvent. This study reports the development of ...
The Moral and Evidential Requirements of Faith
(2020-04-15)
What is the relationship between faith and evidence? It is often claimed that faith requires going beyond evidence. In this paper, I reject this claim by showing how the moral demands to have faith warrant a person in ...
Transcranial alternating current stimulation in the theta band but not in the delta band modulates the comprehension of naturalistic speech in noise
(2020-04-15)
Auditory cortical activity entrains to speech rhythms and has been proposed as a mechanism for online speech processing. In particular, neural activity in the theta frequency band (4–8 Hz) tracks the onset of syllables ...
The Bi-objective Periodic Closed Loop Network Design Problem
(2020-04-15)
Reverse supply chains are becoming a crucial part of retail supply chains given the recent reforms in the consumers’ rights and the regulations by governments. This has motivated companies around the world to adopt ...
Artificial and Computational Intelligence in Games: Revolutions in Computational Game AI (Dagstuhl Seminar 19511)
(2020-04-14)
The 2016 success of Google DeepMind’s AlphaGo, which defeated the Go world champion, and its follow-up program AlphaZero, has sparked a renewed interest of the general public in computational game playing. Moreover, game ...
Characterization of Nano-Mechanical, Surface and Thermal Properties of Hemp Fiber-Reinforced Polycaprolactone (HF/PCL) Biocomposites
(2020-04-10)
The quest for sustainable, low-cost and environmental friendly engineering materials has increased the application of natural fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite. This paper experimentally investigates the effects of ...
VVV Survey Microlensing : Catalog of Best and Forsaken Events
(2020-04-10)
We search for microlensing events in the zero-latitude area of the Galactic Bulge using the VVV Survey near-IR data. We have discovered a total sample of N = 630 events within an area covering 20.68 deg 2 between the years ...
