Abstract:
Word imageability, the degree to which different words arouse imagery, is a powerful variable affecting mental imagery and memory. This study examined whether word imageability varies depending on the context within which words are presented. We randomly sampled abstract (low imageability) words and also concrete (high imageability) words from available norms. Introductory psychology students rated the words for imageability in different contexts. In the mixed content, students rated the abstract and concrete words mixed within the same set of words, similarly to the way words were rated in th

Abstract:
Abstract Previous research has demonstrated that definable qualities of verbal stimuli have implications for memory. For example, the distinction between concrete and abstract words has led to the finding that concrete words have an advantage in memory tasks (i.e., the concreteness effect). However, other word types, such as words that label specific human emotions, may also affect memory processes. This study examined the effects of word type on the production of false memories by using a list-learning false memory paradigm. Participants heard lists of words that were highly associated to non

Purpose We report on a study that replicates previous treatment studies using Abstract Semantic Associative Network Training (AbSANT), which was developed to help persons with aphasia improve their ability to retrieve abstract words, as well as thematically related concrete words. We hypothesized that previous results would be replicated; that is, when abstract words are trained using this protocol, improvement would be observed for both abstract and concrete words in the same context-category, but when concrete words are trained, no improvement for abstract words would be observed.

In three experiments, we examine the effects of semantic context and word concreteness on the mapping of existing meanings to new words. We developed a new-word-learning paradigm in which participants were required to discover the meaning of a new-word form from a specific verbal context. The stimulus materials were manipulated according to word concreteness, context availability and semantic congruency across contexts. Overall, participants successfully learned the meaning of the new word whether it was a concrete or an abstract word. Concrete word meanings were discovered and learned faster

It was found that definitions for abstract words differed from those of concrete words only in style, not in semantic content.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;The construction of concrete structures and their design flexibility is directly related to the use of different formwork elements or the limitations of existing systems. Especially in infrastructure projects and occasionally in building construction, complex geometries such as single or double curved surfaces are realized in concrete or reinforced concrete. This requires the precise fabrication of formwork boxes, which are used where reusable formwork systems lacks adaptability. This paper explores ways to increase the efficiency of custom formwork production through fully automated

Abstract:
Abstract The excellent corrosion resistance of steel in concrete is affected adversely by chloride ions. In this work, results of experiments that were initiated in 1984 and reported in 1985 and 1987 are presented. The same parameters that were discussed before are examined here after a longer, severe exposure to chloride. These parameters include calcium nitrite content, cement factor, and water-to-cement ratio. As before, calcium nitrite was found to be an effective corrosion inhibitor. In addition, the length of the experiments have shown that low water-to-cement ratios do not prevent corro

Abstract:
Construction materials such as concrete, asphalt, and wood are essential components for Department of Defense (DoD) Military Construction (MILCON) and construction for contingency operations around the world. From housing facilities, to airfields, to magazines and hardened structures, each of these materials fulfill numerous Army building applications. However, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stemming from the manufacturing, application, maintenance, and disposal of concrete and steel exact a significant climate burden. Thus, due to their pervasive use and commodity status, the advancement of s

Abstract:
Although concrete is the most widely used building material in the world, its limited tensile strength makes cracking a common phenomenon in concrete elements. This study investigates the potential of autonomous self-healing as an eco-friendly and lowcost method to increase the durability of concrete. The crack-healing potential of different types of high-alkaline-tolerant bacteria or calcite-precipitation microorganisms is investigated. High-alkaline-tolerant bacteria and calcite-precipitation microorganisms were used to retrofit lab-fractured concrete samples. The samples healed with each of

Abstract:
All structures in Switzerland - that is, all buildings, roads, infrastructure constructions and so on - consume over their entire life cycle around 50 % of Switzerland's final energy requirement. They are also responsible for around 30 % of emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2. In recent decades, the energy requirements and CO2 emissions resulting from the use of such structures have fallen sharply. However, the grey energy contained within the structures as well as the CO2 emissions associated with the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, remain high. There is great potential

This report summarizes the outcomes of the second year of PRCI ECA-1-1. Concretely, specific methodologies developed to improve the NDE-FEA framework have been discussed (as elaborated in T2.3: "Evaluation and improvement of 3D NDE - FEA performance). A medium wide plate (MWP) testing program (T2.1: "Design and preparation of experimental test program") was designed to experimentally validate the results obtained from the NDE-FEA framework (T2.2: "MWP test execution and analysis"). The results show satisfactory agreement between the CDF response obtained from the NDE-FEA framework and experime

Abstract:
Reinforced concrete is the most widely used building material today. It can be produced universally and cheaply almost anywhere in the world. However, this is accompanied by high CO2 emissions and considerable consumption of natural resources. In the DFG Priority Programme 1542, a wide variety of approaches were therefore investigated to find out how the material can be used more efficiently and thus how concrete construction can be made fit for the future. This final report on SPP 1542 “Concrete Light“ (funded from 2011 to 2022) presents the most important results.

Abstract:
This work on lifting loops builds on previous investigations and testing (Chhetri et al, 2020; Chhetri et al, 2021) and considers additional design and detailing parameters for prestressing strand lifting loops. The results from the loops in lightweight concrete demonstrated the influence of Mohs hardness of the coarse aggregate on loop capacity. These loops generally performed better than the Mertz test loops in normalweight concrete (Chhetri et al., 2021), which had a softer coarse aggregate. In addition, the strand bond of the loops used for the lightweight concrete testing was higher. Both
