A numerical study of the suitability of rigid inclusion ground reinforcement beneath caisson quay walls by Holmwood, Andrew Graham

“…The objective of this study was to determine whether rigid inclusions are suitable for reinforcement of the foundation of a caisson quay wall functioning as a container terminal. Apart from their brittle behaviour under lateral loading, rigid inclusions are well suited to the large uniform loads and stringent post-construction deflection tolerances associated with container terminal structures. …”

Allocentric spatial memory following anterior temporal lobectomy: A comparison between active and sedentary epileptic adults by Cotton, Sarah

“…Moreover, relatively new evidence suggests that physical activity could improve overall hippocampal function (McCloskey, 2003). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate spatial cognition in patients with intractable epilepsy and also to establish whether physical activity levels of these patients, i.e. active versus sedentary, had an effect on neuropsychological functioning. …”
