Paper presented at Seventh International Conference on Maintenance and Rehabilitation of Pavements and Technological Control

Reclaimed Asphalt (RA) is a 100% recyclable material, but at present in Europe the re-use of RA in mixes is limited and a huge amount of it is simply wasted. Furthermore, the recycling of asphalt often involves a certain downgrading of the material.... Read More about Mechanical characterisation of reclaimed asphalt mixes for modelling purposes.

Learning through reward is central to adaptive behavior. Indeed, items are remembered better if they are experienced while participants expect a reward, and people can deliberately prioritize memory for high- over low-valued items. Do memory advantag...

DNA transposons make up three percent of the human genome, roughly the same percentage as genes. However, due to their inactivity, they are often ignored in favour of the more abundant, active, retroelements. Despite this relative ignominy, there are...
