Face perception elicits activation within a distributed cortical network in the human brain. The network includes visual ("core") regions, as well as limbic and prefrontal ("extended") regions, which process invariant facial features and changeable aspects of faces, respectively. We used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Dynamic Causal Modeling to investigate effective connectivity and ...

free vibration of sandwich plates with temperature dependent functionally graded (fg) face sheets in various thermal environments is investigated. the material properties of fg face sheets are assumed to be temperature-dependent and vary continuously through the thickness according to a power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. also, the material properties of...

Regions of the occipital and temporal lobes, including a region in the fusiform gyrus (FG), have been proposed to constitute a "core" visual representation system for faces, in part because they show face selectivity and face repetition suppression. But recent fMRI studies of developmental prosopagnosics (DPs) raise questions about whether these measures relate to face processing skills. Althou...

Buckling temperature prediction of a functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) sandwich plate with lightweight core is studied in the present work. The composite made three layers. upper and lower layers are two different materials so that electrical mechanical properties smoothly varied through thickness based on power law distribution. Whereas, considered as hexagonal honeycomb structure or por...

In the present paper, a novel unconstrained higher-order theory (UCHOT) is applied to analyse free vibration of cylindrical sandwich shells with nanocomposite face sheets reinforced graphene platelets. UCHOT considers shear and thickness deformations. It assumed that cylinder includes soft core which embedded between functionally graded platelets composites (FG-GPLRC). FG-GPLRC sheet consists s...

Emotional face perception is a highly developed visual skill in humans that occurs along a distributed neural system including: visual, limbic, and prefrontal areas of the human brain. It has been proposed that the core regions of face perception include the inferior occipital gyrus (IOG), fusiform gyrus (FG), and superior temporal sulcus (STS). We examined the modulation of effective connectiv...

A cause of limited physical activity levels in youth is the presence of low back pain (LBP), therefore proper assessment of low back function in physical education settings is needed to identify children who may be at risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the concurrent and criterion-referenced validity of field tests of low back and core muscular endurance in school-aged children. T...

Abstract In this article, the nonlinear dynamic responses of sandwich functionally graded (FG) porous cylindrical shell embedded in elastic media are investigated. The studied here consists three layers, which outer and inner skins made solid metal, while core is FG metal foam. Partial differential equations derived by utilizing improved Donnell’s theory Hamilton’s principle. Afterwards, Galerk...
