On 24 January 2020, a devastating earthquake struck the town of Sivrice in Elazığ province at 20:55 local time (17:55 UTC), resulting 41 death and significant loss property. The magnitude was determined to be Mw 6.8 strong shaking main shock lasted about 20 seconds. triggered 30 landslides over an area ~55 km2. This article presents preliminary results comprehensive study on mapping distributio...

Parallel computing is gradually becoming a main stream tool in geotechnical simulations. The need for high fidelity and for modeling of fairly large 3-dimensional (3D) spatial configurations is motivating this direction of research. A new program ParCYCLIC for seismic geotechnical applications has been developed. Salient characteristics of the employed parallel sparse solver will be presented. ...

The lateral mobility of neurotransmitter receptors has been shown to tune synaptic signals. Here we report that GABAA receptors (GABAARs) can diffuse between adjacent dendritic GABAergic synapses in long-living desensitized states, thus laterally spreading "activation memories" between inhibitory synapses. Glutamatergic activity limits this inter-synaptic diffusion by trapping GABAARs at excita...

Integrin-mediated adhesion is regulated by multiple features of the adhesive surface, including its chemical composition, topography, and physical properties. In this study we investigated integrin lateral clustering, as a mechanism to control integrin functions, by characterizing the effect of nanoscale variations in the spacing between adhesive RGD ligands on cell spreading, migration, and fo...

This paper demonstrates a biologicallyand psychologicallyinspired human-like computational memory focusing on the retrieval mechanisms – Spreading Activation and Compound Cue for a companion agent’s episodic memory (EM) that helps the agent to manage it’s memory more efficiently and enable it to have a more natural interaction with the user.

Liquid spreading through a randomly packed particle-resolved bed influenced by capillary or inertial ( $AB_s \sim 1$ ), and gravitational force (moderately 0.1$ ) strongly 0.01$ )) is investigated using the volume-of-fluid simulations. The relative contribution of governing forces at different stages analysed time evolution Weber $We_I$ $AB_I$ numbers. We show that dynamics liquid primarily gov...
