A simple evolutionary procedure is proposed for shape and layout optimization of structures.
During the evolution process low stressed material is progressively eliminated from the …

Neuroplasticity can be defined as the ability of the nervous system to respond to intrinsic or
extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, function and connections. Major advances in the …

By slowly removing inefficient material from a structure, the shape of the structure evolves
towards an optimum. This is the simple concept of evolutionary structural optimization (ESO). …

LETTERS TO NATURE Page 1 LETTERS TO NATURE homotetrameric protein). Whatever
the mechanism of RyR-1 expression on L-type current density, our results may explain why …

There are strong needs and requirements for on-line damage (delamination) detection and
health-monitoring techniques on composite structures. Vibration-based model-dependent …

Evidence accumulated over more than 45 years has indicated that environmental stimuli
can induce craving for drugs of abuse in individuals who have addictive disorders. However, …

Describes development work to combine the basic ESO with the additive evolutionary structural
optimisation (AESO) to produce bidirectional ESO whereby material can be added and …

A defining feature of drug addiction is persistent drug use despite long-term adverse
consequences. This study examined the performance of drug abusers on a neuropsychological test …

Within the last 15 years, multiple new signal transduction pathways within cells have been
discovered. Many of these pathways belong to what is now termed ‘the mitogen-activated …

The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study is an ongoing, nationwide
study of the effects of environmental influences on behavioral and brain development in …
