The use of a LED fiber-optic sensor to measure displacement and linear thermal expansion is described. It has a sensitivity of about 0.6 mV/mm, a resolution of 1.25 mm, and a dynamic rang of 400 mm for displacement measurements. For thermal expansion, it shows a sensitivity of about 3.5 mV/C, and the experimental linear expansion values are in agreement with those calculated. The reported senso...

Abstract The cofinality quantifiers were introduced by Shelah as an example of a compact logic stronger than first-order logic. We show that the classes models axiomatized these can be turned into Elementary Class restricting to positive and deliberate uses. Rather using ad hoc proof, we give general framework abstract Skolemizations. This method gives uniform proof wide rang are Classes.

Let k an algebraically closed field, P the n-dimensional projective space over k and TPn the tangent vector bundle of P . In this paper I prove the following result : for every integer l, for every non-negative integer s, if Zs is the union of s points in sufficiently general position in P, then the restriction map H(P, TPn(l)) → H 0(Zs, TPn(l)|Zs) has maximal rank. This result implies that the...

During priming of pop-out, performance at discriminating a pop-out feature target in visual search is affected by whether the target on the previous trial was defined by the same feature as on the upcoming trial. Recent studies suggest that priming of pop-out relies on attentional processes. With the use of simultaneous, combined transcranial magnetic stimulation and event-related potential rec...

Cet article présente une analyse statistique de la position des économistes français et des spécialistes français des sciences de gestion parmi les chercheurs européens de haut rang. La preuve empirique révèle que la France ne développe pas fortement ses ressources humaines sur la scène internationale. La position de la France en Europe, repérée par les citations (pour les économistes) et les n...
