What is modularity? Which kind of modularity should developers strive for? Despite decades of research on modularity, these basic questions have no definite answer. We submit that the common understanding of modularity, and in particular its notion of information hiding, is deeply rooted in classical logic. We analyze how classical modularity, based on classical logic, fails to address the need...

where the unordered pair {αv , βv} defines the diagonal conjugacy class in GL2(C) attached to πv. Even at a ramified (resp. archimedean) place v, one has by the local Langlands correspondence a 2-dimensional representation σv of the extended Weil groupWFv ×SL(2,C) (resp. of the Weil group WFv), and the v-factor of the symmetric m-th power L-function is associated to sym(σv). A basic conjecture ...

Introduction: The role of different parts of the extended amygdala in metabolic signs of stress is not well understood. In the present study, we decided to evaluate the impact of the shell part of nucleus accumbens (NAc) on metabolic disturbance induced by electro foot shock stress using transient inactivation method in the rat.  Methods: Male Wistar rats (W: 230-250 g) were canuulated un...

Abstract Modularity introduced by Newman and Girvan [Phys. Rev. E 69, 026113 (2004)] is a quality function for community detection. Numerous methods for modularity maximization have been developed so far. In 2007, Barber [Phys. Rev. E 76, 066102 (2007)] introduced a variant of modularity called bipartite modularity which is appropriate for bipartite networks. Although maximizing the standard mo...

This paper introduces a new representation for assemblies of small Lego-like elements: structures are indirectly encoded as construction plans. This representation shows some interesting properties such as hierarchy, modularity and easy constructibility checking by definition. Together with this representation, efficient GP operators are introduced that allow efficient and fast evolution, as wi...

Objectives of classical projects are usually to apply and synthesize knowledge acquired during courses. Such projects are therefore result oriented. However, within the framework of project-based learning as developed in the new engineering curriculum at Université catholique de Louvain, the project should be oriented towards the acquisition of new knowledge and competencies. In this context, t...

We introduce a game-theoretic framework to address the community detection problem based on the social networks’ structure. The dynamics of community formation is framed as a strategic game called community formation game: Given a social network, each node is selfish and selects communities to join or leave based on her own utility measurement. A community structure can be interpreted as an equ...
