A Quasi-3D Numerical Model for Grout Injection in a Parallel Fracture Based on Finite Volume Method by Xiaolong Li, Meimei Hao, Yanhui Zhong, Bei Zhang, Fuming Wang, Lianbang Wang

“…The purpose of the present work is to develop a quasi-3D numerical method that can be used to study the diffusion mechanism of grout injection in a rock fracture based on the collocated structured grid of the finite volume method (FVM). Considering the characteristics of fracture in geometry that the aperture is much less than its length and width, the Hele-Shaw model is introduced to deduce the z-derivatives of velocities u and v at walls, which is a function of the relevant average velocity and the fracture aperture. …”

The Memory and Affective Flexibility Task: a new behavioral tool to assess neurocognitive processes implicated in emotion-related impulsivity and internalizing symptoms by Kenneth J. D. Allen, Matthew V. Elliott, Eivind H. Ronold, Eivind H. Ronold, Nandini A. Rajgopal, Åsa Hammar, Åsa Hammar, Åsa Hammar, Sheri L. Johnson

“…Growing evidence suggests that deficits in affective control –cognitive control in the context of emotion – may underpin elevated emotion-related impulsivity in various psychiatric disorders.ObjectiveThis study examines two components of affective control (affective flexibility and emotional working memory) as potential neurocognitive processes linking emotion-related impulsivity to internalizing psychopathology.MethodUndergraduate participants (analysis n = 120) completed the Memory and Affective Flexibility Task (MAFT), a novel behavioral assessment designed to assess hot cognition in affective flexibility and emotional working memory performance, alongside self-report measures of impulsivity and symptoms of internalizing disorders.ResultsStructural equation modeling suggested that less accurate working memory during neutral trials (cool cognition) was associated with more symptoms of internalizing psychopathology. …”
