In-between games and theater, Role-Playing Games (RPGs) are group settings that determine the roles or behavioral patterns of players, as well as an imaginary context. A RPG is the performance of a roughly defined situation that involves people with given roles. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) study the behavior of an independent agent set with different characteristics, evolving in a common environm...

To think that tens of millions of individuals over the world in the past thirty-five or so years have participated in improvised story telling in the fictional settings created by the roleplaying game hobby is, quite frankly, quite staggering and certainly one that will receive some small mention in cultural history of our time in the future. But how do these various published worlds stack up? ...

The objective of the present study was to analyze the autonomic response of trained swimmers to traditional and reverse training periodization models. Seventeen swimmers were divided in two groups, performing a traditional periodization (TPG) or a reverse periodization (RPG) during a period of 10 weeks. Heart rate variability and 50 m swimming performance were analyzed before and after the trai...

A full-length cDNA (rp-h3.3) encoding a replacement histone H3.3 had been identified in Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum). The cDNA consisted of 975 bp, including a ORF 411 bp in length, a 3′ untranslated regions 490 bp in length, a poly (A) tail and two polyadenylation signals. In addition, the cDNA encoded a peptide with the S.//.A.IG amino acid motif, which was identical to the replaceme...

In 2001, Olivier Barreteau proposed to jointly use multi-agent systems and role-playing games for purposes of research, training and negotiation support in the field of renewable resource management. This joint use was later labeled the "MAS/RPG methodology" and this approach is one of the foundation stones of the ComMod movement. In this article, we present an alternative method called "agent-...

This article presents a proposal for the elaboration of an RPG game with board support based on remediation literary narratives and which is thought both use in classroom, as didactic tool, but understood essentially playful activity. For that, we first start observation about act playing what it means society linguistic terms. Subsequently, are concerned defining so that can effectively presen...

Ce travail consiste à caractériser l'espace pastoral de la région PACA en termes distribution spatiale et diversité des formations végétales concernées. Pour l'emprise espaces pâturés nous avons analysé deux bases données disponibles : le registre parcellaire graphique (RPG) issus déclarations agriculteurs dans cadre politique agricole commune une enquête pastorale (EP) réalisée l'échelle régio...

The 137 ribosomal protein genes (RPGs) of Saccharomyces provide a model for gene coregulation. We examined the positional and functional organization of their regulators (Rap1 [repressor activator protein 1], Fhl1, Ifh1, Sfp1, and Hmo1), the transcription machinery (TFIIB, TFIID, and RNA polymerase II), and chromatin at near-base-pair resolution using ChIP-exo, as RPGs are coordinately reprogra...
