Full textSingle European Act, Maastricht, Amsterdam, Nice, Lisbon, enlargements… Over a 25-year period, the major revisions of the European Union treaties followed one another at an intensive pace. If that series is necessary for a progressive process of integration, it also illustrates the challenge of reforming the Union. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of rigidity of the European Union Treaties by searching the legal causes, obstacles and consequences of the (in)adaptability of the treaties. Rigidity originates from the constitutionalisation process of the treaties, which consolidated their formal and substantial protection through the emergence of limits to the revision power. The rigidity of the treaties is further increased by that of the ordinary revision procedure, which is based on two notions that may appear antinomic: the respect of the Member States sovereignty (through the plurality of the national mechanisms of ratification), and the willingness of democratisation (through the emergence of European mechanisms of legitimacy). In order to facilitate the adaptability of the treaties, the Member States established simplified procedures, which complement and derogate to the general procedure. As they do not significantly differ from the ordinary revision procedure, they are not efficient; a reconsideration of the rigidity of the treaties can then be observed through the development of an implicit revision of their provisions as well as a cooperation between Member States, the intensity of which is differentiated, and which may grow beside the Union’s institutional framework. Therefore, the pursuit of efficient ways to relax the rigidity of the treaties is necessary to maintain both their position within the legal order and the unity of the European integration process within the framework of the European Union

Full textUndertaken with the LAUM, this work aims at first tocharacterize non linear distortions relative to electrodynamicloudspeakers with a view to miniaturizing units designed in thelaboratory. Furthermore, a special point about the advantages and drawbacks resulting from voltage or current driving has been investigated. After a brief review about the prominent definitions used in thefield of electro-acoustics, the main properties and specificitiesof transducers are discussed while considering at first linear devices. Considering a generic transducer of the state of theart, the main parameters are given in terms of transfer functions. Then, a current-driving policy is discussed whiletaking account of the actual power operational amplifier properties. Furthermore, the rejection of the mechanical resonance is investigated without any kind of alteration of theideal infinity of the Control Drive Index value. Specific filtering structures are calculated regarding a given transducer and considered either in feedforward or feedback arrangements within the circuitry. After such a first order analysis non linear behaviours areconsidered. At first a straightforward typology of non linearsystems is presented so as to highlight the most importantdefinitions. Then, a special analytical approach is given,allowing us to analyse the harmonic generation from a currentdriven loudspeaker with a mono frequency regime. Such anapproach is extended and generalized by way of original numerical models designed with Simulink®, PSpice® and SLPSsoftware, considering bi tonal stimuli signals. Then, such anapproach is considered with transducers and amplifiers of thestate of the art, allowing us to validate the whole relevantrationale. Thus, the micro speakers actually developed in thelaboratory should be investigated and optimized in the shortrun, considering their relevant electronic conditioning policy
Akoumianaki, Daphne. "Les rapports entre l'ordre juridique constitutionnel et les ordres juridiques européens : analyse à partir du droit constitutionnel grec." Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010318/document.
Full textDespite their differences, the constitutional legal order, the EU legal order and the ECHR legal order, in progress, are strictly bound. However, this kind or relation is not equal to a fusion. Thus, the relationship of the three orders should be studied through the notions of interdependence and competition. Interdependence is manifest if one takes into account the role of the Constitution as the major vector in the building of Europe, ensuring the integration and the implementation of European rights in the national legal order. Hence, the Hellenic Constitution responds to the European rationale and both European legal orders contribute in the enrichment of the national legal order. Likewise, competition is manifest as the national constitutional order is seized by the European orders and its weaknesses appear as conflict sources with them. Therein, a forced transformation of the domestic law is apparent in order to adapt to the European conditions. This conflict situation gives rise to the research of an institution-based solution. A systematic approach of European influences in the national legal order is used in order to reinforce the authority of the Constitution and to restructure the procedural system. While the complexity of the aforementioned orders appears undoubtful, one should stress the institutional and procedural means that allow to favour complementarity and to mitigate competition between these orders

Full textDrying shrinkage induced cracking is an essential mechanism to be considered in the durability study of cement-based materials and structures. The present thesis is devoted to experimental investigation and numerical modeling of this mechanism by putting the emphasis on the influences of inclusion stiffness and size. The thesis is composed of two parts.The first part is devoted to experimental study. A series of concrete samples are first casted with artificial inclusions of different rigidities. These samples are subjected to different levels of drying in order to evaluate cracks induced by the drying shrinkage. The dried samples are then examined by using the non-destructive X-ray micro-tomography imaging method. Three-dimensional (3D) distributions of induced cracks in the dried samples are identified, including their location and shape. The influence of inclusion rigidity on the shrinkage induced cracking process is clearly demonstrated. It is found that the shrinkage-induced cracking is strongly enhanced by the stiffness difference between the inclusion and cement paste. Secondly, samples casted with glass balls of different sizes are considered. By using a similar experimental procedure, the influences of inclusion size on the drying shrinkage induced cracking process are investigated.In the second part, a numerical method based on the peridynamics theory is proposed. The formulation and implementation of the numerical method are first presented and discussed. Its efficiency in modelling the initiation and propagation of multiple cracks in heterogeneous materials is then demonstrated. The proposed method is further applied to the description of cracking process induced by drying shrinkage and temperature change in concrete composites containing different types of inclusions. The emphasis is put on the effects of inclusion stiffness and size on cracking patterns. A series of numerical simulations are performed. Comparisons between numerical results and experimental observations are presented
Schiano, Fabrizio. "Bearing-based localization and control for multiple quadrotor UAVs." Thesis, Rennes 1, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018REN1S009/document.
Full textThe aim of this Thesis is to give contributions to the state of the art on the collective behavior of a group of flying robots, specifically quadrotor UAVs, which can only rely on their onboard capabilities and not on a centralized system (e.g., Vicon or GPS) in order to safely navigate in the environment. We achieve this goal by giving a possible solution to the problems of formation control and localization from onboard sensing and local communication. We tackle these problems exploiting mainly concepts from algebraic graph theory and the so-called theory of rigidity. This allows us to solve these problems in a decentralized fashion, and propose decentralized algorithms able to also take into account some typical sensory limitations. The onboard capabilities we referred to above are represented by an onboard monocular camera and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) in addition to the capability of each robot to communicate (through RF) with some of its neighbors. This is due to the fact that an IMU and a camera represent a possible minimal, lightweight and inexpensive configuration for the autonomous localization and navigation of a quadrotor UAV

Full textElectrostatic complexation process involving polyelectrolyte and nanoparticles of opposite charge are receiving an increasing interest in view of their implications in numerous domains. In this thesis, we are particularly interested in the role of ratio LP/R on the formation of complexes. To realize the variation of this parameter, we have chosen five model Systems by the combination of four polyelectrolytes of différent rigidity and three oppositely charged nanoparticles of different sizes, including the positively charged AuNPs synthesized by ourselves. For each System, we have in the first place studied the macroscopic behaviors of complexes formed at different concentration ratio of PEL and NPs, which were recorded in the phase diagrams. Then, the structures of so formed complexes were studied by a combination of cryo-TEM, small-angle neutron, X-ray, and light scattering (size, fractal dimension Df). We have in particular revealed for Lp/R ~1 the formation of well-defined single-strand nanorods and also of randomly branched complexes (Df between 1. 5 and 3) respectively in the two monophasic domains (excess of nanoparticles or of PEL chains). Besides the ratio LP/R, the salt effect was also studied by comparing salt-free System with the one in presence of additional salt, and we proved that the addition of salt can screen the repulsive charges of complexes which results in rapid phase separation and more compact complex structure. Moreover, we have observed unexpectedly the formation of AuNPs nanoparticles- Hyaluronan chains metacrystals

Full textThis thesis is positioned in the context of the tension between the organizational purpose as intentionally defined by the top manager and internalized by the management, and the mobilization or not of the singularities of operational employees to contribute to the alignment on the expected effects. More precisely, our work aims to explore the link, and the underlying tensions, between the consideration of singularities, linked to professional and personal background, in learning, and the real alignment of the uses of new information systems (IS) in the presence of an operational novelty (unanticipated, unexpected). The literature review has led us to gradually raise several tensions: between robust, structuring and new operational information systems; between user and organizational singularities in the alignment of uses against the new; between user and organizational singularities in learning to overcome the new and contribute to alignment. Our reflection has gradually shifted towards a questioning not dealt with in the literature, apart from insights into the educational sciences: how, and in what tensions, does the organisation take into account the singularities of users in the design and implementation of learning make it possible to overcome the unprecedented with efficiency in order to contribute to the alignment of the uses of new IS with the expected organisational and managerial effects? Our exploratory process continued in the field guided by subquestions that constitute our questioning. The data collection by semi-directive interviews was carried out with different targets (company manager, manager, human resources manager, trainer, user). The qualitative analysis provided additional insights. The results confirm the interest of focusing on individual singularities but also the lack of consideration in the organisation, in the tensions linked to the vision of the new unanticipated, of alignment, of the individual, of learning, in the tension between control and autonomy. Is it a denial of the individual? of the real novelty? of an organized learning vision, intended to acquire skills according to reference frames, and not the development of the ability to "face"? of a vision of alignment aiming at compliance with the prescribed and not "doing it in addition"?

Full textBy a circular, in 1832, Government ask the administration to «search means to replace ferries by bridges». Most of the cities in Brittany are located near to the sea. The very indented coastline complicates surface communications between coastal localities. Opportunely, new suspension bridges are able to cross Breton short coastal rivers estuaries without intermediate supports; several ferries can be replaced by a fixed connexion as far back as the 1830s. When it’s blowing a gale, the wind is the enemy of those light civil engineering works. Engineers and constructors endeavour to solve the apparent contradiction between a necessary economy of materials and rigidity of bridges against wind and road transport development. The history of these metallic civil engineering works, mostly suspended, sometimes in an arch or a beam, and even with more innovative structural design, follows engineers story and engineers training story. Ingénieurs des Ponts et Chaussées, civil engineers, and constructors, work within a complex relationship, where the common aim, the bridge good achievement, have to fit to financial interests of some and surveying obligations of others. Iron and steel metallurgy progress, new materials appearance, motorcar invention, mechanization, and more widely, road transport development in relation with growth and diversification of economic exchanges, are a part of the context of this thesis; administrative or political hesitations and rivalries, are the other side of the backdrop. In 1930, the reinforced concrete bridge, built by Freyssinet over Elorn river, marks the end of steel supremacy on large span bridges over Breton estuaries
Nouira, Dorra. "Non-linear interactions between US waves and contact interface." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020BORD0262.
Full textThe past decades have been marked by a significant increase in research interest in nonlinearities in cracked solids. As a result a number of different nonlinear methods have been developed for damage detection. However, there still limited understanding of physical mechanisms related to the various nonlinearities due to contacts. This thesis is addressed to study the nonlinear interaction between a wave and an interface while taking into account adhesion, in order to, eventually, propose an efficient NDT method for characterization of contact interfaces. The study of the second-harmonic evolution to characterize the damage will be the focus of this work. The nonlinear interaction between a longitudinal wave and a contact interface is considered in one-dimensional medium by using the Finite Elements method.Numerically, the contact interface is modelled by combining two approaches. One is based on acoustic methods and used in traction, while the other one is based on vibration methods and used in compression. The first one, consists in modelling the contact with an RCCM law. The study propose a detailed analysis on the interface behaviour in traction while taking into account the adhesion. It allows identifying the key parameters that govern the nonlinear signature of the RCCM contact law and so better understanding the interaction between a compression wave and a contact interface that exhibits adhesion in traction. The second one, used in compression, is based on a nonlinear interface stiffness model where the stiffness property of the contact interface is described as a function of the nominal contact pressure. The study consists in a complementary numerical and experimental analysis of nonlinear vibrational response due to the contact interface. It shows that the stiffness-pressure trend at lower pressures has a major effect on the nonlinear response of systems with contact interfaces.Finally, in order to exploit the proposed contact law defined in compression and traction, a strategy to identify the interface parameters during the interaction between a wave and an interface is proposed. The numerical results are promising in view of the characterization of contact interfaces

Full textPolyelectrolyte multilayers have emerged as a versatile tool in the field of biomaterials and tissueengineering. In this study, photocrosslinkable polyelectrolyte films based on biopolymers whosestiffness can be easily tuned by UV irradiation were prepared. Then, they were tested againstbacteria and mammalian cells to address the influence of the film stiffness on cell behavior. Suchsuperficial stiffness manipulation resulted in differential response of bacteria and mammaliancells. Gram negative bacteria evidenced better growth on softer films while various mammaliancells preferred stiffer films. Stiffness patterns of various geometries and sizes were generated byexposing the films to the UV light through a photomask incorporated in transparent substrates.The patterned films composed of stiff motifs distributed in a soft background induced apreferential spatial organization, which depended on pattern shape and size. A comparative studywith commercial biochemical patterns revealed similar pattern fidelity for three differentmammalian cell types. Such mechanical patterns on a 2D film appear promising for futureapplications in tissue engineering or for drug screening

Neste trabalho realiza-se um estudo do efeito causado pela alteracao da rigidez geometrica, por meio de forcas axiais, na frequencia natural de bases de maquinas rotativas, na forma de viga e portico plano, todos metalicos, no intuito de tira-las na ressonancia ou proximo dessa regiao. Essa regiao proxima da ressonancia e chamada de regiao fora de seguranca e compreende o intervalo que comeca em 20% abaixo da frequencia da maquina ate 25% acima dela. Duas ferramentas foram utilizadas para realizar o estudo, Metodo de Rayleigh e Metodo dos Elementos Finitos (MEF). Na viga estuda-se um perfil estrutural de um tubo retangular em aco estrutural, utilizando o Metodo de Rayleigh e o MEF. Ja o portico e estudado somente pelo MEF, so que mais perfis foram analisados desse mesmo tubo. No caso da base como viga, sem carregamento algum, ela se mostrou dentro na zona perigosa, tanto por Rayleigh como por MEF. Uma intervencao com forcas axiais foi realizada para estabilizar as bases. No portico tanto portico, o perfil 60x60 nao ficou dentro da zona perigosa, ja os demais, 80x80 e perfil ¿§, ficaram dentro da regiao { 0,8¿¶, 1,25¿¶ }. O estudo mostrou que a rigidez geometrica
In this work a study of the effect caused by the alteration of the geometric stiffness, by means of axial forces, in the natural frequency of bases of rotating machines, in the form of beam and plan portico, all metallic, in order to take them out in the resonance or near this region. This region near the resonance is called unsafe region, and comprises the range starting at 20% below the frequency of the machine and to 25% above it. Two tools were used to carry out the study, Rayleigh Method and Finite Element Method (FEM). In the beam, a structural profile of a rectangular tube in structural steel is studied, using the Rayleigh Method and MEF. Already the portico is studied only by MEF, except that more profiles were analyze in this same tube. In the case of the base as beam, without any loading, it showed itself inside the dangerous zone, by both Rayleigh and MEF. An axial force intervention was performed to stabilize the bases. In the planar portal frame, the 60x60 profile was not inside the dangerous zone, while the others, 80x80 and profile É, were within the region {0.8Ù, 1.25Ù}. The study showed that the geometric stiffness has a close relation with the natural frequencies in solid structures.
Aguado, rojas Missie María del Rocío. "On control and estimation problems in antilock braking systems." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SACLS103/document.
Full textThis thesis addresses three problems related to the antilock braking system (ABS) in the context of the wheel dynamics: the estimation of the tyre extended braking stiffness (XBS) during an emergency braking situation, the control of the ABS based on the estimation of the XBS, and the estimation of the angular velocity and acceleration of the wheel from the measurements of an incremental encoder with imperfections. The general objective of this work is to develop tools aimed at improving the performance of braking systems by using techniques adapted from nonlinear control theory. The first part of the manuscript is devoted to the construction of a switched adaptive observer for the XBS, that is, an adaptive observer whose estimation gains switch between two possible values based on the sign of the system’s measured output. The stability of the observer is analyzed using tools for switched and cascaded systems, as well as concepts such as persistency of excitation and singular time-scale transformations. The second part of the manuscript is dedicated to the design of a control algorithm for the ABS. The control objective is formulated in terms of the XBS and a hybrid controller is designed so that the trajectories of the system satisfy the conditions required for the estimation of the XBS. The stability of the controller is analyzed using the Poincaré map. The third part of the manuscript focuses on the construction of an algorithm to estimate angular velocity and acceleration of the wheel and remove perturbations which are introduced by the encoder imperfections and whose amplitude and frequency are a function of the wheel's (real) position, velocity, and acceleration. The algorithm is based on the method known as time-stamping algorithm, as well as filtering and parameter estimation techniques. Experimental tests and numerical simulations illustrate the performance of the estimation and control algorithms presented in this thesis. In all cases our results are compared with respect to the state of the art

Full textIncorporation of heat exchangers in conventional geostructures like piles can extract the heat from the soil for heating purposes and inject it to the soil for cooling purposes. In recent years, research has been conducted at full and laboratory scale to investigate the effect of temperature on the geotechnical behavior of these energy geostructures as well as on the surrounding soil. Indeed, these energy geostructures can be subjected to cyclic mechanical loads and thermal variations throughout their lifetime. The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding regarding the behavior of sand/clay-structure contact under complex thermo-mechanical loads. A temperature-controlled direct shear device to perform monotonic and cyclic constant normal load or constant normal stiffness tests was developed. The response of the interface to the thermal effects on the mechanical behaviour of soils and soil-structure interface was investigated. Fontainebleau sand and kaolin clay were used as proxies for sandy and clayey soils. The results showed that the applied thermal variations have a negligible effect on the shear strength of the sand and sand-structure interface. In clay samples the temperature increase, increased the cohesion and consequently the shear strength, due to thermal contraction during heating. The adhesion of the clay-structure interface, was less than the cohesion of the clay samples. To investigate the mechanical cyclic load effects on the clay-structure interface at different temperatures, monotonic and cyclic constant-volume equivalent-undrained direct shear tests were performed on clay-clay and clay-structure interface at different temperatures. The results showed that, the number of cycles to failure for the clay-structure interface test was lower than that for the clay-clay case in the same range of cyclic and average shear stress ratios. Increasing the temperature, decreased the rate of strain accumulation and the number of cycles to failure increased by 2-3 times. The rate of degradation (degradation parameter, t) decreased by 16% with heating from 22 to 60oC for the different cyclic stress ratios tested. A non-isothermal soil-structure interface model based on critical state theory was then developed. The non-isothermal model takes into account the effect of temperature on the void ratio of interface prior to shearing. The model is capable to capture the effect of temperature on soil-structure interface under constant normal load and constant normal stiffness conditions for both sandy and clayey interfaces. The additional parameters have physical meanings and can be determined from classical laboratory tests. The formulation is in good agreement with the experimental results and the main trends are properly reproduced

Evidence for a role of vascular endothelium in the control of arterial wall viscosity in humans Endothelium-dependent adaptation of arterial wall viscosity during blood flow increase is impaired in essential hypertension Effect of pharmacological reduction of heart rate by Ivabradine on carotid artery wall viscosity." Thesis, Normandie, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019NORMR116.
Full textConductance arteries have a viscoelastic behavior, but the viscous component has been less investigated than the elastic in human. This arterial wall viscosity (AWV) contributes to the dissipation of the elastic energy stored during the cardiac cycle. AWV could impair the efficiency of the cardiovascular coupling during aging or hypertension. Conversely, a decrease in the viscous component could be deleterious due to an insufficient damping of the elastic energy transmitted to the arterial wall and the peripheral organs. In this context, the assessment of this parameters in human physiology and during normal and accelerated aging in necessary. Moreover, the identification of the determinants of wall viscosity and the search for pharmacological targets that specifically modify viscosity seem relevant. The aims of this work are to assess AWV in conductance arteries in young subjects and during aging and hypertension, to determine the role of the endothelium and smooth muscle tone in the regulation of wall viscosity at basal state and after stimulation, and to evaluate the effect of pharmacological heart rate (HR) reduction on wall viscosity and the aging impact on this effect. We evaluated the AWV with two methods, the first at the level of carotid and the second at the level of radial artery, using high resolution vascular echo-tracking, tonometry and plethysmography. Thus, we obtained pressure-diameter or pressure-cross sectional area relationships permitting a thermodynamic approach of the viscous phenomenon.Thus, we demonstrated that AWV is regulated, at the level of radial artery, by endothelial nitric oxide and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids in healthy subjects and in hypertensive patients. These factors seem to act by tone-dependent and independent mechanisms. During arterial hypertension, we observe an increased dissipated energy in parallel with the energy stored in the arterial wall resulting in a stable relative viscosity at the basal state. However, during blood flow increase, this adaptative mechanism is impaired, because of the endothelial dysfunction observed during hypertension, resulting thus in an increase in absolute and relative viscosity. At the carotid level, HR reduction by ivabradine increases the absolute viscosity in parallel with the increase in the elastic energy resulting thus in a stable relative viscosity, in healthy subjects with a HR higher than 70 bpm at rest. In this population, at baseline, middle-age subjects exhibit lower absolute and relative viscosities than younger subjects. After pharmacological HR reduction, they already have a large increase in absolute and relative viscosity suggesting the loss of this adaptative mechanism

Full textResearch on upper-body prosthetic device is commonly divided in two categories: The prosthesis mechatronic conception and the human-machine interface dedicated to the control. This PhD thesis aims to bring together these two fields of research. The first step deals with control signals. Thus, a database containing electromyographic sequences and vision based joint coordinate measurements was created. Then, an artificial neural network achieves the motion estimation from electromyographic sequences. Accordingly, an under-actuated bio-inspired hand architecture is proposed to copy an organic hand motion while ensuring a grasping force distribution. This innovative approach allows to optimize the synergies imitation and proposes a control more intuitive for active prosthesis users

"Estabilidade versus flexibilidade: a dicotomia necessária à inovação na gestão de recursos humanos em uma organização pública, estatal eestratégica como Bio-Manguinhos / Fiocruz." reponame:Repositório Institucional da FIOCRUZ, 2009. https://www.arca.fiocruz.br/handle/icict/2500.
Full textEste trabalho propõe analisar o fenômeno da terceirização desenvolvido ao longo das duas últimas décadas em Bio-Manguinhos. Trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado na unidade de produção de vacinas e reagentes para diagnóstico da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Inicialmente foi realizado um estudo de cenário, analisando a política de gestão do trabalho desenvolvida pelo Estado brasileiro para as instituições públicas. A seguir, a análise passou a verificar a inserção da Fiocruz nessas políticas, desde a sua criação e no decorrer de vigência de diferentes formas de contratação, alternando da extrema rigidez para a total flexibilidade sempre com foco na gestão do trabalho, e, como essas políticas se refletiram no desempenho de Bio-Manguinhos. Baseado no contexto da conformação do Estado e na análise do desempenho da unidade, o trabalho critica a falta de planejamento e de prospecção dessas políticas, que favoreça a inovação de processos, produtos e procedimentos e o desempenho pleno de uma unidade de produção de insumos para a saúde, tão necessários ao atendimento das necessidades da população brasileira. Critica também, a ausência de um modelo de Estado consolidado que sirva de arcabouço à formulação dessas políticas. Devido às fortes críticas dos órgãos de controle acerca da extrapolação dos limites da terceirização praticada nas últimas duas décadas e à falta de definição clara desses marcos legais, o trabalho apresenta uma metodologia baseada nas atribuições dos cargos do plano de carreiras da Fiocruz e culmina com a apresentação de uma matriz de atribuições passíveis de serem realizadas por contratação indireta. Conclui pela necessidade de convivência de dois quadros de trabalhadores: um permanente formado por servidores, estáveis e de carreira e outro flexível, executado por contratação indireta, de caráter eventual, temporário ou de apoio às atividades relacionadas à missão de Bio-Manguinhos. O trabalho ainda sugere a aplicação da mesma metodologia às demais unidades da Fiocruz e que a instituição afirme, frente aos órgãos de controle, quais atividades que ela precisa manter no quadro de servidores permanente e quais ela quer delegar a terceiros sem contudo, ferir a legislação vigente. Por fim, constata-se que a metodologia apresentada ameniza, mas não resolve o problema, dessa forma, recomenda-se à Fiocruz buscar mecanismos que altere o modelo de gestão pelo qual está submetida a fim de viabilizar as duas formas de incorporação de mão-de-obra.

Full textAnorexia nervosa (AN) is a dangerous disorder characterized by unrelenting rigidity that continues even in the presence of deadly outcomes. Despite this, our understanding of factors that promote and maintain rigidity is lacking. The current paper proposes a model suggesting that rigid behaviors in AN can be formulated as maladaptive rule-governed behavior that emerges in contexts of uncertainty and loss of control, such as in the presence of affective arousal. An empirical study examining the differences between individuals weight recovered from AN (AN-WR) and healthy controls (CN) on parameters of rule-governed behavior in neutral and stressful contexts is described. Seventy-four adults (AN-WR: 36; CN: 38) were randomized to undergo either a stressful or neutral mood manipulation and then completed a laboratory assessment of rule-governed behavior, along with questionnaires measuring difficulties with uncertainty. While the AN-WR group demonstrated greater flexibility in rule implementation compared to the CN group, they evidenced greater impairment in behavioral extinction. Furthermore, although affective arousal did not significantly impact rule-governed behavior as expected, difficulties tolerating uncertainty were significantly related to rule-governed outcomes exclusively in the AN-WR group. Taken together, findings provide preliminary support for maladaptive rule-governed behavior in AN and suggest that this is related to an intolerance of uncertainty. Findings and treatment implications are discussed in light of study limitations.
