INSTABILITIES ON ALPINE TEMPERATE GLACIERS: NEW INSIGHTS ARISING FROM THE NUMERICAL MODELLING OF ALLALINGLETSCHER (VALAIS, SWITZERLAND)

Instabilities on Alpine temperate glaciers: new insights arising from the numerical modelling of Allalingletscher (Valais, Switzerland)

The processes leading to a glacier instability depend on the thermal properties of the contact between the glacier and its bedrock.Assessing the stability of temperate glacier (i.e.the glacier can slide on its bedrock) remains problematic.In order to scrutinize in more detail the processes governing such "sliding" instabilities, a numerical model d

Numerical Prediction of Welding Distortion Considering Gravity Force on General Ship Grillage Structure by Elastic Finite Element Method Using Inherent Strain

The accurate numerical prediction Toilet Seat Covers of welding deformation is important to improve the structural safety of ships and offshore structures in heavy industries.The precise reflection of the real working condition in the numerical prediction is an essential factor to improve its result.In the present study, the effect of the gravity f

Cortically-controlled population stochastic facilitation as a plausible substrate for guiding sensory transfer across the thalamic gateway.

The thalamus is the primary gateway that relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex.While a single recipient cortical cell receives the convergence of many principal relay cells of the thalamus, each thalamic cell in turn integrates a dense and distributed synaptic feedback from the cortex.During sensory processing, the influence of this fun
