Two experiments were conducted to investigate how performance on a primary rock climbing task is affected by the inclusion of a secondary word memory task. In Experiment 1, twelve experienced rock climbers completed a dual traverse climb and word memory task, with participants’ performance analysed relative to their single task performance (climbing alone and word memory alone). Participants’ climbing efficiency and word recall were significantly lower in the dual-task condition. Experiment 2 examined the effects of emotional content on climbing performance. Fifteen experienced rock climbers completed two dual-tasks, in which they were asked to recall negatively valenced or neutral words. Climbing efficiency, climbing distance, and word recall were all significantly lower in the dual-task conditions, relative to the single-task conditions. Climbing efficiency and climbing distance were also significantly lower in the negative word dual-task, relative to the neutral word dual-task. The findings from these two experiments have important human factors implications for occupational settings that require climbing-like operations, including search and rescue and fire-fighting.

Dans ce travail, nous aborderons la problématique du dépiégeage et de la dynamique des vortex (élastiques ou plastiques) en présence de centres d’ancrage (0D ou 1D). Les résultats, discutés ici, ont été obtenus par des mesures de magnétotransport . L’effet des interactions vortex-vortex sur la dynamique au voisinage du seuil de dépiégeage a été étudié pour des microponts monocristallins de Bi-2212 bruts de tirage (défauts ponctuels) ou irradiés aux ions lourds de haute énergie parallèlement à l’axe cristallographique (défauts colonnaires ou DC). Les mesures ont été effectuées à basse température (5 K) et au voisinage de en fonction du champ magnétique .A 5 K, nos résultats mettent en évidence un effet de pic à ainsi qu’un phénomène d’hystérésis dans la dépendance en de attribués à un changement de mécanisme de dépiégeage et de dynamique. La dépendance en des courbes a également permis la mise en évidence d’un ou plusieurs pics dans la dépendance en B de la résistance dynamique . De plus, la loi de type a pu être vérifiée. L’exposant critique obtenu varie suivant que est inférieur ou supérieur à ; et ce, que les microponts soient ou non irradiés. Les différentes valeurs de sont expliquées par les différents types de désancrage mis en jeu.Au voisinage de , nos résultats montrent un dépiégeage successif des vortex (vortex interstitiels puis vortex localisés sur les DC). Les courbes obéissent à une loi de type . Les différentes valeurs de obtenues sont discutées en fonction de la dimensionnalité des vortex (2D ou 3D). Finalement, l’effet de l’application d’une composante perpendiculaire sur la délocalisation des vortex a été étudié à basse et à haute température. Nos résultats montrent clairement l’existence de un ou plusieurs angles critiques de délocalisation. / In this work, we deal with depinning and dynamics of vortices (plastic or elastic) with or without pinning centers (0D or 1D). Results were obtained using measurements.Effects of votex-vortex interactions in the vicinity of have been studied for single crystal microbridge of Bi-2212 unirradiated and irradiated with heavy ions parallel to the cristallographic axis (columnar defects or CD). measuremants have been made at low temperature (5 K) and in the vicinity of at different magnetic field .At 5 K, our results show a peak effect at and a hystheresis phenomena for the dependence of which have been attributed to a change in the depinning mechanism and dynamics. The dependence of curves also reveals the presence of one ore more peaks in the dependence of the dynamical resistance . More, the typical law has been verified. The obtained critical exponent varies for lower or higher than for both irradiated and unirradiated samples. The different values are explained by the different depinning mechanisms.In the vicinity of , our results show a two steps depinning mechanism (interstitial vortex and, after, ones which are lodalized on CD). curves obey almost the same law as at low temperature : . The different obtained values are discussed in the framework of the vortex dimensionality (2D or 3D).Finally, the effect of the application of a perpendicular magnetic field component on the vortex delocalization has been studied at both low and high temperature. Our results clearly show the existence of one or more critical angle for the delocalization process.

Denna rapport är resultatet av ett högskoleingenjörs examensarbete inom byggteknik och design på Kungliga Tekniska högskolan i Stockholm, framtagen tillsammans med företaget Oljibe och deras samarbetspartner TH-konsult. Efterfrågan på fler arbetsplatser och större kontorsytor har med tiden blivit allt större på Oljibes huvudkontor i Västberga Industriområde. Då företaget växer vill man nu kunna erbjuda alla anställda en egen plats att jobba vid. Därför har man beslutat att bygga en kontorsvåning på den befintliga verkstaden för att uppfylla målet. Vid projektets start finns både bygglov samt idé på hur påbyggnationen ska se ut. Den nya kontorsvåningen är tänkt att vara både modern och inspirerande för de anställda. Rapporten innehåller beräkningar av last, lastfall och befintliga stommens kapacitet. Slutligen även beräkningar och rekommendation på en möjlig konstruktionslösning för stommen som vi anser fördelaktig. Oljibe har som mål att börja bygga inom snar framtid, så det som i dagsläget endast är ritningar, kommer man snart att kunna se i verkligheten. / This report is the result of a Bachelor thesis in civil engineering at Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Formed in collaboration with Oljibe AB and TH-konsult. The need of more workplaces and a larger office at Oljibes head office in Västberga Industrial area has got greater the past years. Now with the company growing they feel the need to offer all the employees their own working station. Decision has been taken to build one more floor with office space above the workshop beside the head office. This will be enough to satisfy that need. At the start of the thesis there was already a building permit and a design idea for the additional office floor. The new office area is planned to be both modern and inspiring for the employees of the company. This report includes calculations of loads, load cases and capacity of the old core structures. As conclusion also calculations and a recommendation of a possible solution for the new core structure that we see as the most beneficial. Oljibe has set the goal to start constructing in the near future, so it’s soon possible to see it in reality what still is just an idea and drawings. This makes it all little bit more exciting.

An integration of geological and geophysical techniques has been used to characterize the internal structure of the Little Valley Landslide in Draper, Utah, USA. The Little Valley Landslide is a pre-historic landslide as old as 13ka B.P. It is found to consist of chaotic and disturbed weathered volcanic units derived from Tertiary age volcanics that comprise a great portion of the Wasatch Range. Geotechnical investigations that were integrated with the geophysical results included excavation of trenches and drilling of boreholes. Geophysical methods, in particular high-resolution seismic data, were used to provide a framework for interpreting the geotechnical observations. High-resolution seismic reflection data, seldom used in landslide investigations, were acquired and processed in order to image the basal or glide surface of the landslide and the structure underlying the landslide. The integration of the geotechnical and geophysical investigations provided a better understanding of the geometry of a portion of the Little Valley Landslide. Trenching and drilling identified landslide material in the subsurface. The high-resolution seismic reflection data imaged the glide surface with the onset of coherent reflectivity. A decollement or glide surface underlies the landslide indicating a large mass movement. The glide surface is observed on the seismic reflection profiles to be deepest in the center portion of the landslide. It is observed in the seismic reflection images to shallow up slope and creating a trough-like shape feature. A contour map modeling the middle of the Little Valley Landslide is derived from the seismic data. This study shows that seismic reflection techniques can be successfully used in complex alpine landslide regions. They are also efficient and cost-effective tools when compared to trenching and drilling investigations. The seismic data can (1) provide a framework to link geological data and (2) take the place of an extensive trenching and drilling program.
