évoluent d'une personne locutrice à l'autre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'approche classique pour comprendre l'apparition des structures du langage suppose la présence de structure langagières encodées

religiosité et tendances politiques.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En voici un extrait :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The piecing together of the data from numerous lesion studies and visual experiments led to a break down in the conventional view that the brain constructs a single view of space. Rather, it seems to construct more specific versions of space that optimize the simultaneous execution of various categories of behaviors. And according to Previc, it has constructed four spatial realms: the peripersonal (PrP); the ambient extrapersonal (AeP) ; the focal extrapersonal (FcE); and the action extrapersonal (AcE). (See Previc's The Neuropsychology of 3-D Space, 1998, Psychological Bulletin, Vol 124.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Previc's four realms of space are depicted in the diagram below (excerpted from Fred Previc's &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;The role of extrapersonal brain systems in religious activity&lt;/span&gt;, 2006, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Conciousness and Cognition&lt;/span&gt; 15).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/Se8qkcnb3bI/AAAAAAAABEo/H-pmeY7hmys/s1600-h/FourSpaces.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 211px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/Se8qkcnb3bI/AAAAAAAABEo/H-pmeY7hmys/s400/FourSpaces.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327523689847840178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Peripersonal        Space: a Liberal Connection?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;The        yellow field in the above diagram represents the well-known concept of &lt;i&gt;peripersonal&lt;/i&gt;        (PrP) space, which is the space within our grasp. The neurology surrounding        peripersonal space is interesting, as it supports the control of the upper        limbs. In primates, these limbs are positioned in the lower visual field.        There is a distinctive downward bias of the peripersonal visual field, as        can be easily be seen in the disproportionate time we spend manipulating        objects that are beneath eye level. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;The        peripersonal system also has a distinctive neuroanatomy and neurochemistry,        one that runs right into our theory of political orientation. Previc describes        the neuroanatomy of the peripersonal system as "mainly housed in the        dorsal cortical networks extending from the dorsal visual pathways through        the lateral and medial portions of the parietal lobe and finally into the        superior-lateral portions of the frontal lobe". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Interestingly,        the right hemisphere has a greater role in the management of the peripersonal        system. The PrP system is also associated with the greater role of both        noradrenaline and serotonin in its neurochemical management. Noradrenaline        and serotonin are distributed asymmetrically in the right hemisphere, and        the regular readers of this web site will immediately see the connection        to political-religious disposition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;We        have previously proposed an elevated influence of the right hemisphere and        both the noradrenergic and serotonergic systems in liberal cognitive styles        and behavior. Does this mean that liberalism is more oriented towards the        peripersonal system than conservatism? This is probable. But this isn't        the only space that seems to be favored by liberals, as we also suspect        a stronger orientation towards ambient extrapersonal space.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;Ambient        Extrapersonal Space: where the liberals are?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Extrapersonal&lt;/i&gt;        space is the area outside our immediate grasp, and as organisms increase        in complexity, they devote proportionately more neurology to its analysis.        In Previc's theory, there are three functional realms of extrapersonal space.        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Previc's        &lt;i&gt;ambient extrapersonal&lt;/i&gt; space (AmE), depicted as the green field in        diagram 1, is essentially the brain's version of gravitational space, which        supports the orientation and posture of the body in the earth's gravitational        field. As such, it is largely responsible for the movement of the lower        limbs. Previc's AmE space starts where PrP space ends, about 2 meters from        the body, and "extends to the outermost boundaries of the visual field"        that "lie outside our frame of motion". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Driving        an automobile provides an excellent example, as maintaining velocity and        lanekeeping are predominately the function of AmE space. AmE functionality        also includes the stabilization of the perceptual world, allowing the other        visual systems to function more efficiently. And like peripersonal space,        there is a downward bias towards the lower visual field. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;While        the sense of vision predominates in the AmE realm, both vestibular (balance)        and proprioceptive (body position) inputs complement visual inputs. Interestingly,        vestibular and proprioceptive inputs also participate in the functioning        of the PrP system. The AmE system is not very concerned about details, as        "spatial orientation can easily be maintained despite considerable        optical degradation". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;The        AmE system employs dorsal visual pathways that course through the parietal        lobe, and has a distinctive neurochemistry dependent on noradenergic and        serotonergic transmission. This links it to its sister spatial system, the        PrP, and further, links it to liberal political-religious orientations via        the elevated adaptation of noradrenaline, serotonin, and the right hemisphere.        Are the nonreligious liberals more oriented towards peripersonal and ambient        extrapersonal space than the religious conservatives? Based on Previc's        theories, this is highly probable. But first, where do god and the conservatives        live?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;        Focal Extrapersonal Space&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;When        it comes to god, the real action of Previc's religious theories start with        the &lt;i&gt;action extrapersonal&lt;/i&gt; system and its close cousin, the &lt;i&gt;focal        extrapersonal&lt;/i&gt; system (FcE). The FcE just happens to be the only spatial        system associated with retinotopic coordinates. Retinotopy is the mapping        of locations in the visual field onto the cortical surface of the brain.        As such, the focal extrapersonal system is the most limited in scope (see        the red area in diagram 1), but the most important in visual search, and        the critical functions of object and facial recognition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;As        opposed to the dorsal orientation of the PrP and AmE systems, the FcE system        runs "ventrally through the occipital-temporal pathways and finally        on into the lateral and medial-basal portions of the frontal lobe".        The FcE is dominated by visual inputs confined to the central 30 degrees        of the visual field. The FcE is directed towards distant space, but can        focus on objects within peripersonal space as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt; Unlike        the downward bias of the PrP and AmE systems, the FcE has a strong bias        towards the upper visual field. The FcE system is where motion, local form,        and depth processing prevail. But what makes the FcE system particularly        relevant to political-religious disposition is its reliance on dopaminergic        transmission. In fact, key dopaminergic pathways of the FcE system run right        through the inferior temporal lobe--a key region implicated in religious        disposition and political conservatism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;               &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Action        Extrapersonal Space&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Previc's        &lt;i&gt;action extrapersonal&lt;/i&gt; space, AcE, "uses mainly visual and auditory        information to enable us to orient, navigate, and interact in topographical        space". It also orients to targets, and is "closely involved with        episodic memory for places and events". AcE integrates visual, auditory,        proprioceptive, and vestibular inputs "concerning the movement of the        head in space", and shares common temporal-occipital neural substrates        with the FcE, along with coursing through the politically-hot orbitofrontal        cortex. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Like        its sister system, the FcE, the AcE system is biased toward the upper visual        field. "Attentional neglect of upper, distant space is a frequent sequel        to inferior temporal lobe damage". As previously noted, there is a        strong relationship between the temporal lobe and religious disposition.        According to Previc's theory, it is the action extrapersonal system that        is most closely linked with religiosity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;Unlike        the retinotopic coordinate system utilized by the FcE, AcE space is gaze-centered,        dependent on the position of the head in space. Neurons in the hippocampus        are activated by the space upon which gaze is directed. AcE space is interesting        in that it completely maps a 360 degree surround, using auditory cues to        handle the space behind the head. The AcE system extends from the outer        boundary of peripersonal space, about 2 meters, to about 30 meters. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;          &lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"&gt;And        like the FcE system, dopaminergic neurotransmission prevails in the AcE.        In fact, Previc has not only constructed a theory of the dopaminergic origins        of religiosity, he has also constructed a theory linking dopamine with human        evolution. And all this from studying the way the brain maps space.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Source : &lt;a href="http://www.neuropolitics.org/defaultfeb08.asp"&gt;God, Dopamine, and 3-Dimensional Space&lt;/a&gt;

Il estimait qu'il devait lui donner un zéro à une question de physique, alors que l'étudiant réclamait un 20.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le professeur et l'étudiant se mirent d'accord pour choisir un arbitre impartial et je fus choisi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Je lus la question de l'examen :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;«Montrez comment il est possible de déterminer la hauteur d'un building à l'aide d'un baromètre.»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L'étudiant avait répondu :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;«On emporte le baromètre en haut du building, on lui attache une corde, on le fait glisser jusqu'au sol, ensuite on le remonte et on calcule la longueur de la corde. La longueur de la corde donne la hauteur du building.»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L'étudiant avait raison vu qu'il avait répondu juste et complètement à la question.  D'un autre côté, je ne pouvais pas lui mettre ses points : dans ce cas, il aurait reçu son grade de physique alors qu'il ne m'avait pas montré de connaissances en physique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;J'ai proposé de donner une autre chance à l'étudiant en lui donnant six minutes pour répondre à la question avec l'avertissement que pour la réponse il devait utiliser ses connaissances en physique. Après cinq minutes, il n'avait encore rien écrit. Je lui ai demandé s'il voulait abandonner, mais il répondit qu'il avait beaucoup de réponses pour ce problème et qu'il cherchait la meilleure d'entre elles. Je me suis excusé de l'avoir interrompu et lui ai demandé de continuer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Dans la minute qui suivit, il se hâta pour me répondre :&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;«On place le baromètre à la hauteur du toit. On le laisse tomber en calculant son temps de chute avec un chronomètre.  Ensuite, en utilisant la formule : x = gt²/2, on trouve la hauteur du building.»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;À ce moment, j'ai demandé à mon collègue s'il voulait abandonner.  Il me répondit par l'affirmative et donna presque 20 à l'étudiant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;En quittant son bureau, j'ai rappelé l'étudiant car il avait dit qu'il avait plusieurs solutions à ce problème.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;«Hé bien, dit-il, il y a plusieurs façon de calculer la hauteur d'un building avec un baromètre. Par exemple, on le place dehors lorsqu'il y a du soleil. On calcule la hauteur du baromètre, la longueur de son ombre et la longueur de l'ombre du building.  Ensuite, avec un simple calcul de proportion, on trouve la hauteur du building.»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;«Bien, lui répondis-je, et les autres?»&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;«Il y a une méthode assez basique que vous allez apprécier.  On monte les étages avec un baromètre et en même temps on marque la longueur du baromètre sur le mur. En comptant le nombre de traits, on a la hauteur du building en longueur de baromètre.  C'est une méthode très directe.  Bien sûr, si vous voulez une méthode plus sophistiquée, vous pouvez prendre le baromètre à une corde, le faire balancer comme un pendule et déterminer la valeur de g au niveau de la rue et au niveau du toit.

de Leland McInnes :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Imagine that your only contact with “English” as a subject was through classes in school. Suppose that those classes, from elementary school right through to high school, amounted to nothing more than reading dictionaries, getting drilled in spelling and formal grammatical construction, and memorizing vast vocabulary lists — you &lt;em&gt;never&lt;/em&gt; read a novel, nor a poem; never had contact with anything beyond the pedantic complexity of English spelling and formal grammar, and precise definitions for an endless array of words. You would probably hate the subject.You might come to wonder what the point of learning English was.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In response perhaps the teachers and education system might decide that, to help make English relevant to students, they need to introduce more “Applied English”. This means teaching English students with examples from “real life” (for varying degrees of “real”) where English skills are important, like how to read a contract and locate the superfluous comma. Maybe (in an effort by the teachers to be “trendy”) you’ll get lessons on formal diary composition so you can better update your MySpace page. All of that, of course, will be taught using a formulaic cookbook approach based on templates, with no effort to consider underlying principles or the larger picture. Locating the superfluous comma will be a matter of systematically identifying subjects, objects, and verbs and grouping them into clauses until the extra comma has been caught. Your diary will be constructed from a formal template that leaves a few blanks for you to fill in. Perhaps you might also get a few tasks that are just the same old drills, just with a few mentions of “real world” things to make them “Applied”: “Here is an advertisement for carpets. How many adjectives does it contain?”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In such a world it wouldn’t be hard to imagine lots of people developing “English anxiety”, and most people having a general underlying dislike for the subject. Many people would simply avoid reading books because of the bad associations with English class in school. With so few people taking a real interest in the subject, teachers who were truly passionate about English would become few and far between. The result, naturally, would be teachers who had little real interest in the subject simply following the drilling procedures outlined in the textbooks they were provided; the cycle would repeat again, with students even worse off this time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And yet this is very much how mathematics tends to be taught in our schools today. There is a great focus on the minutiae of the subject, and almost no effort to help students grasp the bigger picture of why the subject might be interesting, and what it can say about us, and about the world. Mathematics has become hopelessly detail oriented. There is more to mathematics than mindlessly learning formulas and recipes for solving problems. And just like our imaginary example, the response to students lack of interest in mathematics has only served to make the problem worse. The “applications” and examples of using the mathematics in the “real world” are hopelessly contrived at best, and completely artificial at worst, and still keep a laser like focus on formulas and memorizing methods without ever understanding why they work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://jedidiah.stuff.gen.nz/wp/?page_id=10"&gt;Lire la suite&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2400017031130933097-6223809185795662570?l=upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/feeds/6223809185795662570/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2400017031130933097&amp;postID=6223809185795662570' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/6223809185795662570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/6223809185795662570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/2009/02/enseignement-des-mathematiques.html' title='Enseignement des mathématiques'/><author><name>Matthieu Durocher</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/115593339442075594973</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KB0VoOMbe2s/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACak/Tp5VTStgUuw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400017031130933097.post-2516668468841889451</id><published>2009-02-15T22:58:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T23:03:49.408-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zoologie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ichthyologie'/><title type='text'>Grosse poule de mer</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.szagami.com/archives/files/lumpfish.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 289px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/SZjkko8zh3I/AAAAAAAAA_g/x6P-b1ep43w/s400/lumpfish.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303239879347636082" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopterus_lumpus"&gt;Cyclopterus lumpus&lt;/a&gt; est un poisson connu sous les noms de lompe, lump, lièvre de mer ou encore grosse poule de mer au Canada.

D'après Duane Knudson, professeur de kinesiologie at &lt;a href="http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/c/california_state_university/index.html?inline=nyt-org" title="More articles about California State University"&gt;California State University&lt;/a&gt;, c'est non seulement inutile, mais cela peut être nuisible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'ancien croyance qu'un étirement soutenu pendant 20 à 30 secondes - connu sous le nom d'étirement statique - prépare les muscles pour une séance d'entraînement est fausse. En fait, cela les affaiblit. Dans une étude récente menée à l'Université du Nevada, les athlètes généraient moins de force avec leurs muscles de la jambe après l'étirement statique, qu'ils ne le faisaient sans étirement. D'autres études ont constaté que cet étirement diminue la force musculaire de près de 30 pour cent. En outre, l'étirement d'une jambe peut réduire la force dans l'autre jambe aussi, probablement parce que le système nerveux central se rebelle contre les mouvements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/02/sports/playmagazine/112pewarm.html?_r=1&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;Stretching: The Truth&lt;/a&gt;

On se rappellera, par exemple l'&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exp%C3%A9rience_de_Miller-Urey"&gt;expérience classique de Urey et Miller&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mais plus récemment, certains chercheurs, parmi lesquels &lt;a href="http://www.scienceonline.org/cgi/content/full/300/5620/745" target="_blank"&gt;Stanley Miller&lt;/a&gt;, le même Miller mentionné ci-dessus, ont commencé à mettre en doute la justesse des postulats de départ privilégiant le concept de soupe primordiale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En effet, les plus récentes découvertes tendent à mettre en lumière un passé beaucoup plus froid pour notre planète.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afin de découvrir quels processus auraient pu se produire sous des conditions beaucoup plus froides, Miller, dès 1972, se mit en remplir des fioles avec un mélange d'ammoniac et de cyanure qu'il laissa reposer à différentes températures entre -80 Celsius et 20 Celsius, pendant de nombreuses années, allant jusqu'à 25 ans. &lt;br /&gt;L'analyse subséquente de certaines de ces fioles révéla l'apparition de molécules organiques parmi lesquelles des nucléobases, précurseures de l'ARN et de l'ADN, et des acides aminés, précurseurs des protéines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ces expériences ont mis en lumière un phénomène qui semble paradoxale: En effet, la vitesse des réactions chimiques est normalement proportionnelle à la température à laquelle elles se produisent. À -80° Celsius, une réaction chimique sera environ cent mille fois plus lente qu'à 20 Celsius. Ce qui normalement auraient dû empêcher l'apparition de résultats en 25 ou même 250 ans. Et pourtant, c'est parmi les fiols les plus froides que se révélèrent les matériaux organiques mentionnés plus haut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ce paradoxe est causé par un processus appelé congélation eutectique. Quand un cristal de glace se forme, il reste pur: Seules les molécules d'eau joignent le cristal grandissant, alors que les impuretés comme les sels ou le cyanure sont exclus. Ces impuretés se concentrent dans de microscopiques zones de liquide au sein de la glace, et cet accroissement de concentration provoque une augmentation du nombre de collisions moléculaires, augmentant ainsi la vitesse des réactions chimique, et ce de façon suffisante pour compenser pour la diminution de vitesse causée par les froides températures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source &lt;a href="http://discovermagazine.com/2008/feb/did-life-evolve-in-ice/"&gt;Did Life Evolve in Ice?&lt;/a&gt;

Suppléant à la mémoire du pilote, cette methode a permis d'assurer que rien n'était oublié avant et pendant le vol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De façon similaire, la médecine, en particulier la médecine d'urgence et de soins intensifs s'est progressivement complexifiée. La quantité d'actes médicaux ne cesse d'augmenter et pourtant aucune approche systématique similaire n'est appliqué à cet aspect de la science médicale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En 2001, Peter Pronovost, médecin spécialiste en soins aux malades en phase critique au Johns Hopkins Hospital, décida d'essayer d'appliquer cette technique aux soins des malades. Il  commença par couvrir uniquement les infections de lignes (ces tubes utilisés pour fournir ou retirer des fluides au corps du malade). Il fit la liste des opérations nécéssaires afin d'éviter l'infection et demanda aux infirmières de surveiller les médecins pendant un mois afin de savoir s'ils oubliaient des étapes. Le constat était accablant : alors que toutes les étapes sont  élémentaires et connues des médecins, chez le tiers des patients ils oubliaient au moins une des étapes.&lt;br /&gt;Il réussi ensuite à convaincre l'administration de l'hôpital d'autoriser les infirmières à forcer les médecins à suivre toutes les étapes de la liste.&lt;br /&gt;Au bout d'un an le taux d'infection moyen était tombé de 11% à 0% et Pronovost et ses collègues évaluèrent que cette simple procédure avec empêché 43 infections et 8 morts.

Le Guin&lt;/a&gt; d'une astuce linguistique similaire pour dénoter d'une part le sexe consensuel et d'autre par le viol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'analyse d'Orit Kamir va plus loin encore en récusant l'utilisation de paramètres simplistes pour définir le viol. Elle démontre l'absurdité de l'utilisation de tels paramètres en utilisant le parallèle suivant : le coup de poing au visage est-il, comme action, suffisant pour différentier la boxe sportive, et le combat de rue ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voir &lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/939190.html"&gt;Resisting linguistic impotence&lt;/a&gt; par By Ariella Azoulay sur &lt;a href="http://www.haaretz.com/"&gt;Haaretz&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Via &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/BF2C1309-2ED5-44D7-8C63-11D02B1FC447/"&gt;Linguistic Rape&lt;/a&gt; sur &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/"&gt;Clipmarks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voir aussi la &lt;a href="http://sitemaker.umich.edu/orit_kamir/home"&gt;page personnelle d'Orit Kamir&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2400017031130933097-5138080234769526058?l=upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/feeds/5138080234769526058/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2400017031130933097&amp;postID=5138080234769526058' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/5138080234769526058'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/5138080234769526058'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/2007/12/feminisme-dignite-humaine-et-justice.html' title='Féminisme, dignité humaine et justice'/><author><name>Matthieu Durocher</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/115593339442075594973</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KB0VoOMbe2s/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACak/Tp5VTStgUuw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/R3ajXwhdEQI/AAAAAAAAAM8/RpSJgdX7esw/s72-c/orit_kamir.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400017031130933097.post-983412800458498832</id><published>2007-12-21T13:21:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-29T11:11:35.041-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='femmes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='invention'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science'/><title type='text'>Hedy Lamarr inventeure étoile</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/R2wE1AhdENI/AAAAAAAAAMk/2CdWuUUXBtU/s1600-h/Hedy_Lamarr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/R2wE1AhdENI/AAAAAAAAAMk/2CdWuUUXBtU/s400/Hedy_Lamarr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146493782897529042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Traduit de : &lt;a href="http://www.null-hypothesis.co.uk/science/item/top_female_inventors_hedy_lamarr"&gt;Hedy Lamarr&lt;/a&gt; par Andrew Impey sur &lt;a href="http://www.null-hypothesis.co.uk/"&gt;Null Hypothesis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Hedy Lamarr est d'abord connue comme actrice célèbre et tout au long de sa carrière elle n'était pas du genre à se cacher des projecteurs. Elle connu les débuts de la célébrité en 1933 grâce à son rôle dans le film &lt;em&gt;Ecstasy&lt;/em&gt;, en partie à cause des scènes de nudité, les premières du cinéma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beaucoup de gens considéraient Hedy comme la plus belle femme d'Hollywood à cette époque et au fil des ans un total de six maris ont pensé la même chose. Souvent très franche, Hedy un jour déclara, «N'importe quelle fille peut être séduisante (glamorous), tout ce qu'elle doit faire c'est poser et avoir l'air stupide.»&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Malgré tout le faste et le prestige, sous ce magnifique extérieur existait un esprit incroyable, à la fois brilliant et inventif. Elle apprenait très rapidement, absorbant les connaissances de ceux qu'elle côtoyait. Son premier mari, Fritz Mandal, travaillait sur les systèmes de contrôle d'avions militaires. À l'évidence, Hedy amassa quelques astuces avant leur séparation en 1937 car trois ans plus tard elle co-inventa un système de guidage pour torpilles une vingtaine d'années en avance sur son temps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dans une des transformations les plus étonnantes des temps modernes, Hedy évolua de tentatrice du grand écran à déesse de l'ingénierie. Loin d'être juste un symbole sexuel, elle pouvait également expliquer le fonctionnement d'un système à étalement de spectre par saut de fréquence – ce qui n'est pas une mince affaire. En 1941, de concert avec le co-inventeur George Antheil, elle proposa son système secret de torpilles radio-guidées qui permettait à la torpille de sauter parmi 88 différentes fréquences, rendant impossible la détection par l'ennemi de l'attaque sous-marine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le système était si avancé que la US Navy déclara qu'il était impraticable et considéra avec mépris l'explication que certaines parties fonctionnait comme le mécanisme d'un piano mécanique. La technologie évolua et en 1962 le système de Hedy fut finalement mis en place par la Navy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hedy n'a pas fait d'argent avec son brevet et elle n'a même pas été autorisée à rejoindre le Conseil national des inventeurs. Peut-être ne pouvaient-ils pas faire face à tant d'esprit et de beauté dans la même personne.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pour en savoir plus sur Hedy Lamarr :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_Lamarr"&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://french.imdb.com/name/nm0001443/"&gt;IMDB&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hedylamarr.org/vision.html" class="external text" title="http://www.hedylamarr.org/vision.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;Hedy Lamarr Fondation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2400017031130933097-983412800458498832?l=upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/feeds/983412800458498832/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2400017031130933097&amp;postID=983412800458498832' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/983412800458498832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/983412800458498832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/2007/12/hedy-lamarr-inventeure-etoile.html' title='Hedy Lamarr inventeure étoile'/><author><name>Matthieu Durocher</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/115593339442075594973</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KB0VoOMbe2s/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACak/Tp5VTStgUuw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_KOgRxA4mapA/R2wE1AhdENI/AAAAAAAAAMk/2CdWuUUXBtU/s72-c/Hedy_Lamarr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400017031130933097.post-8989860023140677463</id><published>2007-12-21T08:16:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-21T09:33:29.362-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='langage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='apprentissage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='genre'/><title type='text'>La science est autant affaire de langage que de nombres</title><content type='html'>Traduit et trouvé sur &lt;a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/19/science-is-linguisti.html"&gt;Science is linguistic as well as numerical&lt;/a&gt; sur &lt;a href="http://www.boingboing.net/"&gt;Boing Boing&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                               O'Reilly's Nat Torkington a un bon commentaire sur un &lt;a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=sex-math-and-scientific-achievement"&gt;article du Scientific American sur les biais de genre en science et mathématique&lt;/a&gt; (en anglais), et il fait une bonne suggestion pour amener plus de filles vers les science à l'école :  &lt;blockquote&gt;«Et il est vrai que nous sélectionnons "les meilleurs en math"–dans l'article, on décrit le fait que les jeunes choisissent les disciplines dans lesquels ils ont de bons résultats. En général, les garçons et les filles tiennent compte de leur habiletés et si ils sont bons avec les chiffres ils vont vers les sciences et si ils sont meilleurs avec les mots ils vont vers les arts. Il y a donc des filles qui vont dans les arts qui ont de meilleurs compétences en mathématique que les garçons qui vont en sciences (il se trouve que ces filles ont d'encore meilleurs compétences verbales). C'est toujours vrai dans des cas individuels, mais les études démontrent que c'est une tendence générales plutôt qu'une évidence anecdotale tirée de cas spécifiques. &lt;p&gt;Qu'est-ce que ça signifie ? Je pense que ça démontre que nous devons mettre plus d'emphase sur le fait que la science et la technologie sont aussi verbales que numériques : Larry Wall, le créateur de Perl, est un linguiste de formation, et il y a autant d'élégance dans un bon programme que dans un grand poème. Si nous acceptons finalement que la science et la technologie sont des domaines où les mots ont une importance critique et qu'un esprit aiguisé aux significations peut aller loin plutôt que de prétendre qu'il n'y a que des mathématiques avec un glaçage syntaxique, nous aurions de meilleurs programmeurs sans compter un meilleur équilibre hommes-femmes. Et finallement, les classes de première année devraient avoir des options de rattrapage pour construire les compétences pour les garçons et les filles qui n'étaient pas dans le haut de la courbe.» &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/12/sex_math_and_sc.html" target="_self" class="title"&gt;Sex, math, and scientific achievement&lt;/a&gt; sur &lt;a href="http://radar.oreilly.com"&gt;O'Reilly's Radar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2400017031130933097-8989860023140677463?l=upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/feeds/8989860023140677463/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2400017031130933097&amp;postID=8989860023140677463' title='0 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/8989860023140677463'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2400017031130933097/posts/default/8989860023140677463'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://upsilon-pi-alpha-tau-iota-alpha.blogspot.com/2007/12/la-science-est-autant-affaire-de.html' title='La science est autant affaire de langage que de nombres'/><author><name>Matthieu Durocher</name><uri>https://profiles.google.com/115593339442075594973</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh6.googleusercontent.com/-KB0VoOMbe2s/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAACak/Tp5VTStgUuw/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400017031130933097.post-7245997243795275938</id><published>2007-12-10T09:59:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-05T00:24:27.848-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='chiens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='canins'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='zoologie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='intelligence'/><title type='text'>Les chiens, capable de categorisation !</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt; Remarquable! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;table style="border: 4px solid rgb(229, 229, 229); margin: 12px 0px; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; font-family: arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; width: 100%; clear: left;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;!-- BEGIN_CLIP_CONTENT ID:85A4F86C-FAAD-4A26-A973-1120ECCA5D8E:1 CLIPMARKS.COM --&gt;&lt;div class="CM_CTB_Content_Wrap" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(220, 220, 220); white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/85A4F86C-FAAD-4A26-A973-1120ECCA5D8E/" title="go to this clipmark"&gt;&lt;img src="http://content.clipmarks.com/blog_icon/fbacb39f-05fd-4e57-a1dd-46df876dfc5b/85A4F86C-FAAD-4A26-A973-1120ECCA5D8E/" alt="" style="border: medium none ; margin: 0px 4px; vertical-align: middle; display: inline; float: none;" border="0" height="19" width="19" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;clipped from &lt;a title="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19626333.900-picturesorting-dogs-show-humanlike-thought.html" href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19626333.900-picturesorting-dogs-show-humanlike-thought.html" style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;www.newscientist.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="border: medium none ; margin: 4px 0px 8px; padding: 0px 8px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" cite="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19626333.900-picturesorting-dogs-show-humanlike-thought.html"&gt;Next time you sort through your holiday photos, maybe your dog could lend a hand.

"As a doctor, I look at the abortion issue from a health perspective and the fact is that an early abortion is safer than giving birth. That is not meant to promote abortion because if women want to have children it is a risk they are naturally willing to take.

The diamond is estimated to be 2,500 miles across and weighs approximately 10 billion-trillion-trillion-carats – a one, followed by 34 zeros. Travis Metcalfe, an astronomer from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and leader of the team who discovered the gem, says “You would need a jeweler’s loupe the size of the sun to grade this diamond. Bill Gates and Donald Trump together couldn’t begin to afford it.” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(245, 245, 245); margin: 2px 4px; background: rgb(220, 220, 220) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; height: 2px; font-size: 2px; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote style="border: medium none ; margin: 4px 0px 8px; padding: 0px 8px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; text-align: left; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" cite="http://www.diamonds.net/news/NewsItem.aspx?ArticleID=9219"&gt;&lt;div&gt;The diamond is actually the crystallized interior of a white dwarf – or the hot core of a star that is left over after the star uses up its nuclear fuel and dies.

The dolphin was lying on a humpback whale’s head while it was slowly swimming along. Looking through my camera lens the stunt appeared to be orchestrated by mutual “agreement.” The whale very slowly—and vertically—lifted the dolphin into the air. I expected the dolphin to wriggle atop the humpback’s head to get off, but it just laid still and arched, trying to stay on top of the whale’s snout. In this frame the dolphin was beginning its slippery return to the sea. Once back in the ocean, the dolphin swiftly swam away with the other dolphin, leaping joyfully as if they had just scored a coup!” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(245, 245, 245);

No one has actually seen a black hole, he says, and anything with a tremendous amount of gravity--such as the supermassive remnants of stars--could exert effects similar to those researchers have blamed on black holes.
