A hemispheric division of labor aids mental rotation.

In the present study, we investigated whether a hemispheric division of labor is most advantageous to performance when lateralized inputs place unequal resource demands on the left and right cerebral hemispheres. In each trial, participants decided whether 2 rotated letters, presented either in the same visual field (within-field trials) or in opposite visual fields (across-field trials), were both of normal orientation, or whether one was normal and the other was mirror-reversed. To discriminate a letter's orientation, one must rotate the letter to the upright position. Therefore, we manipulated whether the two letters imposed similar or dissimilar demands on cognitive resources by varying the number of degrees that each letter needed to be rotated to reach the upright position. As predicted, in 2 experiments we found that the across-field advantage increased as the number of degrees each letter needed to be rotated became more dissimilar. These findings support a current model of hemispheric interactions, which posits that an unequal hemispheric distribution of cognitive load allows the cerebral hemispheres to take the lead for different aspects of cognitive processing.

An analytical model to determine the ultimate load on masonry arch bridges.

This paper proposes an analytical elasto–plastic model to describe the behavior of arches. The modeling is carried out using the equations of (i) horizontal equilibrium, (ii) vertical equilibrium and (iii) equilibrium of moments. The latter equations of equilibrium are ordinary differential equations which can easily be solved by adding boundary conditions, imposing restrictions on the horizontal and vertical movement and on the rotation in the abutments of the arch. For masonry arches, including material properties allowing the occurrence of cracks and the subsequent formation of hinges is required. The latter theory has been implemented in a computer program (Matlab), offering numerical simulations. The software was used to illustrate two case-studies, i.e., the assessment of an arch loaded with a vertical point load and one with a horizontal point load.

起落架落震试验飞机机轮三向冲击位移的动态测量

为了研究飞机起落架受冲击载荷时的功量吸收状况，须在起落架落震试验中，对飞机着陆瞬间起落架机轮在空间三个方向上冲击位移的动态变化量进行测量。为此，本文设计了四自由度空间定位装置，并使其与计算机连接，实现了落震试验过程中，起落架在高速冲击状态下机轮三向位移的有效测量与记录。

紧凑 Tokamak(球形环)聚变堆第一壁及中心导体柱上中子负荷及核热计算与分析

采用通用蒙特卡罗粒子输运程序ＭＣＮＰ／３８计算低环径比Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ（紧凑环或球形环）聚变堆第一壁及中心导体上的中子壁负荷分布和核热沉积分布，并与常规Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ堆第一壁上中子壁负荷分布和核热沉积分布进行比较、分析。结果表明，在中子壁负荷归一化为１ＭＷ／ｍ２时，与常规Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ相比，在低环径比Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ堆第一壁及中心柱表面上中子壁负荷分布峰值并不比常规Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ堆第一壁上的峰值高，而且低于低环径比Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ堆整个第一壁上的平均值，而中心柱上的核热沉积峰值稍高于常规Ｔｏｋａｍａｋ堆第一壁上的核热沉积峰值，但对较高中子壁负荷情况，中心导体柱上的核热沉积和辐照损伤仍可能是比较严重和值得特别研究的问题。
