The explanation according to which equivalence classes are formed by contingencies of reinforcement, has the implication that responses and reinforcer stimuli would also be included among its members. Empirical support for ...

Geosynthetic materials have been demonstrated to be an accurate element in civil engineering, specifically in the field of pavement. Regarding the implementation of these materials in asphalt mixture layers, geosynthetics, ...

A direct version of the boundary element method (BEM) is developed to model the stationary dynamic response of reinforced plate structures, such as reinforced panels in buildings, automobiles, and airplanes. The dynamic ...

The reinforcement omission effect (ROE) has been attributed to both motivational and attentional consequences of surprising reinforcement omission. Recent evidence suggests that the basolateral complex of the amygdala is ...

Training procedures in researchs about the estabilishment of stimulus equivalence classes are tipically based on conditional discriminations, in wich a sample controls selection of a comparison stimulus. Proposals based ...

Corrosion of rebars is one of the main issues affecting the service life of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. It is well-known that the use of fibers enhances the mechanical behavior of RC structures at both Serviceability ...

The experiment reported here uses a conditional self-discrimination task to examine the influence of social interaction on the facilitation of selfdiscrimination in rats. The study is based on a previous report (Penagos- ...

This review analyzes literature that describes the behavioral effects of 2 metabolites of ethanol (EtOH): acetaldehyde and salsolinol (a condensation product of acetaldehyde and dopamine) generated in the brain. These ...
