and Annette Karmiloff - Smith

An increasing number of connectionist models have been proposed to explain behavioral deficits in developmental disorders. These simulations motivate serious consideration of the theoretical implications of the claim that a developmental disorder fits within the parameter space of a particular computational model of normal development. The authors examine these issues in depth with respect to a...

Renaud Smith Annette Carley Common Neonatal Complications

Most newborns with complications are identified and cared for in community hospitals or level II perinatal centers (American Academy of Pediatrics [AAP], 2012). Perinatal nurses must have a thorough understanding of pathophysiologic and clinical signs of illness during the immediate newborn period. The length of stay limits the time to identify behavioral cues or subtle changes that could poten...

Michelson–Morley experiment revisited

The idea of the Michelson–Morley experiment is theoretically reanalyzed. Elementary arguments are put forward to precisely derive the most general allowable form of the directional dependence of the oneway velocity of light. According to XIX-century physics light was supposed to propagate in the aether, a mysterious medium devised especially for this purpose. As light was to travel with respect...

AMI : Augmented Michelson Interferometer

Experiments in optics are essential for learning and understanding physical phenomena. The problem with these experiments is that they are generally time consuming for both their construction and their maintenance, potentially dangerous through the use of laser sources, and often expensive due to high technology optical components. We propose to simulate such experiments by way of hybrid system...
