Neuron participation in a synchrony-encoding assembly
(2006)
BACKGROUND:Synchronization of action potentials between neurons is considered to be an encoding process that allows the grouping of various and multiple features of an image leading to a coherent perception. How this coding ...
Democratic Deliberation in a Multinational Federation
(2006-09)
Democratic deliberation is an aspiration that, in the most favorable conditions, remains difficult to achieve. In divided or multinational societies, the requirements of democratic theory appear particularly daunting. This ...
Solidarity in Choosing a Location on a Cycle
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006)
We study the implications of two solidarity conditions on the efficient location of a public good on a cycle, when agents have single-peaked, symmetric preferences. Both conditions require that when circumstances change, ...
Bundling under the Threat of Parallel Trade
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2006)
This paper examines the use of bundling by a firm that sells in two national markets and faces entry by parallel traders. The firm can bundle its main product, - a tradable good- with a non-traded service. It chooses between ...
Intrahemispheric dysfunction in primary motor cortex without corpus callosum: a transcranial magnetic stimulation study
(2006)
BACKGROUND:The two human cerebral hemispheres are continuously interacting, through excitatory and inhibitory influences and one critical structure subserving this interhemispheric balance is the corpus callosum. ...
Conceptualisation métaphorique en biomédecine : importance pour le processus traductionnel
(2006)
Contrairement à l'idée reçue, la pensée scientifique en général, et médicale en
particulier, fait appel à la conceptualisation métaphorique. Celle-ci consiste à décrire, à
représenter ou à modéliser un phénomène à l'aide ...
Pressure-induced change of d-d luminescence energies, vibronic structure and band intensities in transition metal complexes
(Taylor and Francis, 2006-08-16)
The effects of hydrostatic pressure on the luminescence spectra of tetragonal transition metal complexes with nondegenerate electronic ground states are analyzed quantitatively by means of models based on potential energy ...
