1. In silico analysis of binding interaction of conantokins with NMDA receptors for potential therapeutic use in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Background The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate receptors that play vital roles in central nervous system development and are involved in synaptic plasticity, which is an essential process for learning and memory. The subunit N-methyl D-aspartate receptor subtype 2B (NR2B) is the chief excitatory neurotransmitter receptor in the

2. On the Validation of a Numerical Model for the Analysis of Soil-Structure Interaction Problems
Abstract Modeling and simulation of mechanical response of structures, relies on the use of computational models. Therefore, verification and validation procedures are the primary means of assessing accuracy, confidence and credibility in modeling. This paper is concerned with the validation of a three dimensional numerical model based on the finite element

3. Computational Modelling of RC Slabs Cracking with an Embedded Discontinuity Formulation
Abstract This paper investigates the cracking process of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to vertical load, involving their crack pattern and the load-displacement capacity curve. Concrete was discretized with hexahedral finite elements with embedded discontinuities; whereas steel reinforcement was represented by 3D bar elements, placed along the edges of

4. Efeitos acoplados da temperatura e evolução de dano em meios contínuos elasto-plásticos / Damage evolution and thermal coupled effects in elastoplastic solids
O surgimento de novos materiais, aliado ao aumento da demanda industrial por ferramentas numéricas capazes de prever o aparecimento de defeitos em processos de conformação mecânica, tem estimulado o desenvolvimento de novos modelos materiais. A Mecânica do Dano Contínuo, em cujo contexto este trabalho está inserido, provou ser uma abordagem capaz de p

5. Learning about brain physiology and complexity from the study of the epilepsies
The brain is a complex system, which produces emergent properties such as those associated with activity-dependent plasticity in processes of learning and memory. Therefore, understanding the integrated structures and functions of the brain is well beyond the scope of either superficial or extremely reductionistic approaches. Although a combination of zoom-i

6. Estudo e desenvolvimento de código computacional para análise de impacto entre estruturas levando em consideração efeitos térmicos / Study and development of computational code to analyze impact in structures considering thermal effects
It becomes quite important study the thermal effects when considering impact in structures, because besides the mechanical energy changing into heat, one may consider the changes in the material properties due overheating. In this sense, the main goal of this work is develop a thermodynamic formulation and its implementation, based in the Helmholtz free-ener

7. Simulador de meios porosos saturados elastoplasticos / Numerical simulator of saturated elastoplastic porous media
The exploration of mineral resources is growing in importance in the Brazilian economy. Since the environments in which these resources are found are becoming increasingly more complex and challenging for the production phase, currently unavailable knowledge and technologies are required to produce these reserves. In the particular well drilling and completi

8. Abordagem neurofuzzy para modelagem de sistemas dinamicos não lineares / Neurofuzzy approach for nonlinear dynamical systems modeling
This work suggests a systematic procedure to develop models of complex nonlinear dynamical systems using neural fuzzy networks. The neural fuzzy networks are able to extract knowledge from input/output data and to encode it explicitly in the form of if-then rules. Therefore, linguistic models are obtained in a form suitable for human understanding. Two new c

9. Modelação de fenômenos de plasticidade rápida no sistema visual de mamíferos / Modeling Fast Plasticity Phenomena in the Mammalian Primary Visual Cortex
Neurônios do córtex visual primário (V1) são seletivos à orientação, direção e freqüência espacial de estímulos apresentados em seus campos receptivos. Os últimos 40 anos acumularam uma quantidade considerável de teorias e dados sobre o processamento cortical de seletividade. Apesar disso, um consenso sobre os mecanismos que geram preferência

10. Analise de estruturas metalicas reticuladas planas considerando a não-linearidade fisica em sistemas não-conservativos
In this work, analyses of steel plane framed structures, consisting of deformable frames by bending, shear and axial load are presented. In these analyses the effect of material nonlinearity in nonconservative systems are considered. According to the theory of small displacements, a computational program was developed to make possible the determination of th

11. DESIGN OF CONCRETE SLAB PANELS USING THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD AND MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING / FERRAMENTAS COMPUTACIONAIS PARA O PROJETO DE LAJES DE CONCRETO ARMADO
In this work it is presented computational methodologies for the design of reinforced concrete massive slabs. The design of the slabs is made using an elastic and perfect elastoplastic analysis, an optimum design using mathematical programming and a plastic analysis project. The conventional project of reinforced concrete slabs has been made starting from ef

12. Theory for normal and impaired experience-dependent plasticity in neocortex of adult rats
We model experience-dependent plasticity in the cortical representation of whiskers (the barrel cortex) in normal adult rats, and in adult rats that were prenatally exposed to alcohol. Prenatal exposure to alcohol (PAE) caused marked deficits in experience-dependent plasticity in a cortical barrel-column. Cortical plasticity was induced by trimming all
