Introduction The ACROE and the ICA laboratory are two associated institutions running a program of research, development, creation and pedagogy in the field of computer for music and animated image synthesis. ACROE was founded in 1976 by Claude Cadoz, Annie Luciani and Jean-Loup Florens, in the Institut National Polytechnique of Grenoble (INP-G) with the support of French Ministry of Culture. T...

Wolf-prey research has focused on single-prey systems in North America dominated by moose (Alces alces) or white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Elk (Cervus elaphus) are social ungulates and the main prey item of wolves {Canis lupus) in Banff National Park (BNP), Alberta. Grouping behaviour may affect the functional response of predators by changing how predators encounter and kill prey. ...

Gray wolves {Canis lupus) recolonized the Bow Valley of Banff National Park in the mid-1980s after a 30-year absence. Wolves recolonized one zone of the Bow Valley in 1985 and another in 1991, but human activity ex­ cluded wolves from a third zone throughout the study. Elk (Cervus elaphus) are the primary prey of wolves in Banff National Park. We studied the effects of wolf predation, snow dept...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the performances of ARFIMA modelling for detecting long-range dependence and estimating fractal exponents. More specifically, our aim was to test the procedure proposed by Wagenmakers, Farrell and Ratcliff (2005), and to compare the results obtained with the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayes Information Criterion (BIC). The present studies sh...

IN THE 30 YEARS SINCE THE BELMONT Report, the role of the community in research has evolved and has taken on greater moral significance. Today, more and more translational research is being performed with the 1This project has been funded in whole with Federal funds from the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), through the Clinical and Translationa...

18 The in vivo alkylation of heme by the antimalarial trioxaquine DU1301 afforded covalent 19 heme-drug adducts that have been detected in the spleen of malaria-infected mice. This result 20 indicates that the alkylation capacity of trioxaquines in mammals infected by Plasmodium is 21 similar to that of artemisinin, a natural antimalarial trioxane-containing drug. 22 AC CE PT ED Copyright © 200...

The relationship between serum protein, immunoglobulin concentrations and protein molecular weight profile (PMWP) alterations of sea bass (131.3 ± 4.3 g) reared in sea water with sublethal concentrations of ammonia was studied over two periods totalling 116 days. During the exposure period (62 days) the first group (group 1) lived in sea water with 0.204 mg·L -1 unionized ammonia nitrogen equiv...

In parallel with the increase in overall life expectancy, the number of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has significantly increased over the last decade (1). The best possible outcome for these patients is to undergo kidney transplantation, but in the interim they are dependent on life-long dialysis treatment (2,3). Forestalling, slowing down and, if possible, reversing the progres...

During the last two decades, bilingual research has adopted the masked translation priming paradigm as a tool to investigate the architecture of the bilingual language system. Although there is now a consensus about the existence of forward translation priming (from native language primes [L1] to second language [L2] translation equivalent targets), the backward translation priming effect (from...
