Pre-failure strain localization in siliclastic rocks: a comparative study of laboratory and numerical approaches by Bianchi, Patrick, Selvadurai, Paul Antony, Zilio, Dal Luca, Vásquez, Antonio Salazar, Madonna, Claudio, Gerya, Taras, Wiemer, Stefan

“…These simulations revealed three distinct stages of preparatory processes: (i) highly dissipative fronts propagated towards the middle of the sample correlating with the observed acoustic emission locations; (ii) dissipative regions were individuated in the middle of the sample and could be linked to a discernible decrease of the P-wave velocities; (iii) a system of conjugate bands formed, coalesced into a single band that grew from the center towards the sample surface and was interpreted to be representative for the preparation of a weak plane. …”

Modeling human-like non-rationality in social agents by Kochanowicz, Jaroslaw Slawomir

“…Conversely, non-rationality is characterized by a) informal or sub-symbolic processing instead of one based on formal representations; b) associative, habitual reactions rather than step by step deduction or optimization; c) lack of explicit goals or their link to decision making. Human species is the only one capable of consistent rationality, but the scale and gravity of human non-rationality are far greater than often suspected. …”
