Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les diverses dimensions implicites ou impensées qui participent de toute recherche à l'insu même des chercheurs. Issu d'un séminaire international, plus précisément consacré aux recherches en didactiques, autour de trois thèmes : - questionner les implicites dans les choix de constitution des corpus ; - questionner les implicites liés aux cadres théoriques ; - questionner les implicites liés aux choix méthodologiques et épistémologiques ; complétés par trois textes de synthèse. Il intéressera, en raison de l'importance des problèmes qu'il soulève, aussi bien les chercheurs en sciences humaines que les formateurs et les étudiants qui sont tenus d'aborder les questions de méthode au sein de leur cursus. Il s’inscrit dans la continuité de la réflexion entamée en 2005 autour des méthodes de recherche en didactiques et fait ainsi suite aux deux premiers livres : Les méthodes de recherche en didactiques vol. 1 et Les méthodes de recherche en didactiques : questions de temporalité vol. 2, parus en 2006 et 2007 aux Presses Universitaires du Septentrion.

A large international conference on Advances in Electrical Engineering and Computational Science was held in London, U.K., July 2-4, 2008, under the World Congress on Engineering (WCE 2008). The WCE 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), with congress details available at: http://www.iaeng.org/WCE2008. IAENG is a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists, which was found originally in 1968. There have been more than one thousand manuscript submissions for the WCE 2008. Advances in Electrical Engineering and Computational Science contains sixty-one revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include Control Engineering, Network Management, Wireless Networks, Biotechnology, Signal Processing, Computational Intelligence, Computational Statistics, Internet Computing, High Performance Computing, and industrial applications. Advances in Electrical Engineering and Computational Science will offer the state of art of tremendous advances in electrical engineering and computational science and also serve as an excellent reference work for researchers and graduate students working with/on electrical engineering and computational science.

Archaeological research has long focused on studying tangible artifacts to build a picture of the cultures it examines. Equally important to understanding a culture, however, are the intangible elements that become part of its heritage. In 2003, UNESCO adopted a convention specifically to protect intangible heritage, including the following: oral traditions and expressions, including language; performing arts (such as traditional music, dance, and theater); social practices, rituals, and festive events; knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe; and traditional craftsmanship. Since this convention was adopted, scholars and preservationists have struggled with how to best approach intangible heritage. This volume specifically focuses on embodied intangible heritage, or the human body as a vehicle for memory, movement, and sound. The contributors to this work examine ritual and artistic movement, theater, music, oral literature, as well as the role of the internet in cultural transmission. Globalization and particularly the internet, has a complex effect on the transmission of intangible heritage: while music, dance, and other expressions are now shared easily, the performances often lack context and may be shared with a group that does not fully understand what they are seeing or hearing. This volume draws on case studies from around the world to examine the problems and possibilities of implementing the new UNESCO convention. The findings in this volume will be vital to both professionals and academics in anthropology, archaeology, history, museum studies, architecture, and anyone else who deals with issues of cultural heritage and preservation.

Prominent international researchers contributed to this volume of reports advancing the study of brain function and morphology. Comprising investigations in several areas of neuroscience, the book includes research in neurodegenerative diseases and in neuroregeneration in adults. Described here are the effects of neuropeptides and biogenic amines on feeding, respiration, and other autonomic functions as well as on behavior. One chapter focuses on regulation of the blood brain barrier function by various neuropeptides, proteins, receptors, and transporters. Another is concerned with the modulation of higher brain functions by neuropeptides and biogenic monoamines. Yet another chapter presents research on ischemic neuronal damage and hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult mouse. Morphological or physiological techniques to study neuropeptides and neuromodulators influencing higher-order or brain-stem functions are given particular attention. The use of bio-imaging tools such as brain navigation systems and fMRIs with patients in a clinical setting creates new possibilities for investigation of human brain function and specialization of treatment.

This book of the Proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Distributed Autonomous Robotic Systems (DARS 2008) provides broad coverage of the technical issues of the current state of the art in distributed autonomous systems composed of multiple robots, robotic modules, or robotic agents. The DARS 2008 dealt with strategies to realize complex, modular, robust, and fault-tolerant robotic systems. Technologies and hardware experiments, as well as system design, modeling, simulation, sensing, planning, operation, communication, and control are presented here. Specific topics include multi-robot cooperation, swarm intelligence, modular robots, distributed sensing, mobiligence, ambient intelligence, and multi-agent systems interacting with human beings.
