L’Europe en question. De la tentative de déstabilisation du mythe dans le roman africain de l’immigration contemporaine

Fulgence Manirambona, Rémy Ndikumagenge

e-Scripta Romanica > 2017 > 4 > 80-92

Notre article propose une analyse de l’espace européen dans l’écriture romanesque de l’immigration contemporaine. La représentation de l’Europe est double. Si, pour le candidat à l’émigration, elle suscite bien des espoirs grâce à ses importants progrès, elle est aussi loin de correspondre à cet espace de réussite et de consécration pour ceux qui gagnent ce continent. L’analyse consacre plutôt une...

Multisensory distortions of the hand have differential effects on tactile perception

A. Treshi-marie Perera, Roger Newport, Kirsten J. McKenzie

Experimental Brain Research > 2015 > 233 > 11 > 3153-3161

Research has suggested that altering the perceived shape and size of the body image significantly affects perception of somatic events. The current study investigated how multisensory illusions applied to the body altered tactile perception using the somatic signal detection task. Thirty-one healthy volunteers were asked to report the presence or absence of near-threshold tactile stimuli delivered...

Increased somatic sensations are associated with reduced limb ownership

Kirsten J. McKenzie, Roger Newport

Journal of Psychosomatic Research > 2015 > 78 > 1 > 88-90

Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are increasingly being thought of as resulting from dysfunctional modulation of interoceptive sensory signals by top-down cognitive processes. The current study investigated whether individuals with a tendency toward MUS would be more susceptible to visual illusions that suggest tactile sensation on the skin in the absence of any actual somatosensory input.Participants...

THE MIRAGE TOOLBOX: AN INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR TEMPORARY STREAMS

N. Prat, F. Gallart, D. Von Schiller, S. Polesello, more

River Research and Applications > 30 > 10 > 1318 - 1334

The assessment of the ecological status of water bodies, as requires by the European Water Framework Directive, can raise a number of problems when applied to temporary streams. These problems are because of the particular physical, chemical and biological conditions resulting from the recurrent cessation of flow or even the complete drying of the stream beds. In such non‐permanent water bodies, the...

Mirage: Mitigating illicit inventorying in a RFID enabled retail environment

J White, N Banerjee

2011 Third International Conference on Communication Systems and Networks (COMSNETS 2011) > 1 - 9

2011 Third International Conference on Communication Systems and Networks (COMSNETS 2011)

Given its low dollar and maintenance cost, RFID is poised to become the enabling technology for inventory control and supply chain management. However, as an outcome of its low cost, RFID based inventory control is susceptible to pernicious security and privacy threats. A deleterious attack on such a system is corporate espionage, where attackers through illicit inventorying infer sales and restocking...

Self-denial and the role of intentions in the attribution of agency

Catherine Preston, Roger Newport

Consciousness and Cognition > 2010 > 19 > 4 > 986-998

The ability to distinguish between our own actions and those of an external agent is a fundamental component of normal human social interaction. Both low- and high-level mechanisms are thought to contribute to the sense of movement agency, but the contribution of each is yet to be fully understood. By applying small and incremental perturbations to realistic visual feedback of the limb, the influence...

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics > 2007 > 13 > 1 > 179 - 189

We provide a physically-based framework for simulating the natural phenomena related to heat interaction between objects and the surrounding air. We introduce a heat transfer model between the heat source objects and the ambient flow environment, which includes conduction, convection, and radiation. The heat distribution of the objects is represented by a novel temperature texture. We simulate the...

Superior mirage effect in supercritical CO2: Experiment and model

Jatin P. Jain, Erhard W. Rothe

The Journal of Supercritical Fluids > 2005 > 35 > 3 > 260-264

At temperatures near T _c , supercritical CO ₂ is highly compressible and it follows that a small temperature gradient will create a large density gradient. We established stable density gradients by maintaining the bottom of a sc-CO ₂ -cell cooler than its other sides. That created a large refractive index gradient that bent a laser beam through an angle that is roughly proportional...

A simple theoretical extension to the analysis of photothermal deflection signal for low thermal diffusivity evaluation

Jyotsna Ravi, S. Lekshmi, K.P.R. Nair, T.M.A Rasheed

Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer > 2004 > 83 > 2 > 193-202

A modified amplitude method to analyze the photothermal probe beam deflection signal for the determination of low thermal diffusivity values of materials is proposed. This simple theoretical model, which is an extension of the amplitude method proposed by Quelin et al., takes into account the dependence of the photothermal signal on the height of the probe beam above the sample surface which affects...

Passage of a Gaussian Beam through a Gradient Medium

A. P. Khapalyuk

Journal of Applied Spectroscopy > 2001 > 68 > 1 > 170-178

The problem of the passage of a Gaussian laser beam of light through a layer of gradient medium, whose dielectric permeability changes linearly in a direction approximately perpendicular to that of the propagation of the beam, is solved in the paraxial–optics approximation. The center of the beam in this medium propagates along a parabola, its divergence is independent of the parameter of the medium...

Large mirage effect in supercritical CO ₂

Haofeng Tang, Esin Gulari, Erhard W. Rothe

The Journal of Supercritical Fluids > 2000 > 18 > 3 > 193 - 200

A laser beam is bent when it passes through a region that has a gradient of refractive index lying perpendicular to its path. This effect is responsible for common 'mirages'. We created a refractive index gradient in supercritical CO ₂ by means of a vertical temperature gradient. For this highly compressible fluid, a small temperature gradient implies a large density gradient, which in turn,...

Quantitative discrimination of mass fluxes at electrochemical interfaces by optical beam deflection

E. Vieil, C. Lopez

Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry > 1999 > 466 > 2 > 218 - 233

The use of the mirage effect, also termed optical beam deflection, as a quantitative and not just a qualitative analytical technique of mass exchange characterization at the electrochemical interface is demonstrated. In situ coupling of the mirage effect technique with cyclic voltammetry gives way, in a first step, to the determination of the nature of the ionic species exchanged between an electroactive...

dmax for stereopsis and motion in random dot displays

A. Glennerster

Vision Research > 1998 > 38 > 6 > 925-935

The upper displacement limit for motion was compared with the upper disparity limit for stereopsis using two-frame random dot kinematograms or briefly presented stereograms. d _max (the disparity/displacement at which subjects make 20% errors in a forced-choice paradigm) was found to be very similar for motion and stereo at all dot densities, and to fall with increasing dot density (0.006%...
