    The effect of high- and low-frequency previews and sentential fit on word skipping during reading

    In a previous gaze-contingent boundary experiment, Angele and Rayner (2013) found that readers are likely to skip a word that appears to be the definite article the even when syntactic constraints do not allow for articles to occur in that position. In the present study, we investigated whether the word frequency of the preview of a 3-letter target word influences a reader’s decision to fixate or skip that word. We found that the word frequency rather than the felicitousness (syntactic fit) of the preview affected how often the upcoming word was skipped. These results indicate that visual information about the upcoming word trumps information from the sentence context when it comes to making a skipping decision. Skipping parafoveal instances of the therefore may simply be an extreme case of skipping high-frequency words

    Robert Putnam's Aerial Point of View : about Making Democracy Work. Hervé Rayner [179-204] With Making Democracy Work, published in 1993, the American political scientist Robert. D. Putnam brings to an end his research programm about the efficiency of Italian regional governments. Analysing contrasted institutional performances would allow to solve the mistery of good governance. Successfull administrations would have the advantage of an ancestral civic tradition, norms and practices propitious for the rising of social capital, while unsuccessfuU ones would be dependent on an uncivic tradition made of vertical allegiances, dichotomous explanation that Putnam does not hesitate to universalyse. Celebrated as a masterpeace in the United States, this sophisticated version of behaviorist theories gives evidence of an objectivitic approach which dissimulates at great cost ideological aims.«Le point de vue aérien de Robert Putnam : à propos de Making Democracy Work». Hervé Rayner [ 179-204] Avec Making Democracy Work, ouvrage publié en 1993, le politologue américain Robert D. Putnam conclut un programme de recherche consacré aux performances des administrations régionales en Italie. L'analyse de «rendements institutionnels» constrastés permettrait de résoudre l'énigme du «bon gouvernement». Les administrations efficaces bénéficieraient d'une ancestrale tradition civique, ensemble de pratiques et de normes favorables à l'émergence du capital social, quand les administrations déficientes relèveraient d'une tradition incivique caractérisée par des rapports sociaux verticaux, explication dichotomique que Putnam n'hésite pas à universaliser. Célébrée comme une œuvre de référence aux États-Unis, cette version sophistiquée des théories behavioristes témoigne d'une approche objectiviste dissimulant à grands frais des visées pour le moins idéologiques.Rayner Hervé.

    Geographic profiling in Nazi Berlin: fact and fiction

    No full text
    Geographic profiling uses the locations of connected crime sites to make inferences about the probable location of the offender’s ‘anchor point’ (usually a home, but sometimes a workplace). We show how the basic ideas of the method were used in a Gestapo investigation that formed the basis of a classic German novel about domestic resistance to the Nazis during the Second World War. We use modern techniques to re-analyse this case, and show that these successfully locate the Berlin home address of Otto and Elise Hampel, who had distributed hundreds of anti-Nazi postcards, after analysing just 34 of the 214 incidents that took place before their arrest. Our study provides the first empirical evidence to support the suggestion that analysis of minor terrorism-related acts such as graffiti and theft could be used to help locate terrorist bases before more serious incidents occur

    Norma Coverdale, B.A.: the treatment of women in selected works of Henry de Montherlant

    No full text
    The aim of this thesis is to determine how women are treated in selectedworks of Henry de Montherlant. This is explored by examining their relationshipswith other women as well as with men. Inevitably, this leads to an analysis ofthe multifaceted area of love. Part I researches Montherlant's prose work and included in this section is the investigation of the importance of 'l'ordre male' to the author and the influence this exerts over his early prose work in the areas of tauromachy, war and sport, and where the male adherence to this concept leaves women. The 'syncretisme et alternance' which is central to Montherlant's thinking is explored in this section.Part 2 is concerned with Montherlant's theatre in which the psychological development of the main characters is of great importance. It is in this section that a comparative study is made of the influence of Mme. Elisabeth Zehrfuss' written contribution to La Reine morte. Her unpublished notes are set out in full in the Appendix. The thesis also draws on the unpublished correspondence between Henry de Montherlant and Elisabeth Zehrfuss between the years 1934 and 1945. An investigation is made as to whether or not there are any differences between the way women are treated in Montherlant's prose and in his theatre and the conclusion is drawn that there are

    An economic analysis of the production of hydrogen from wind-generated electricity for use in transport applications

    No full text
    Wind-generated electricity is often considered a particularly promising option for producing hydrogen from renewable energy sources. However, the economic performances of such systems generally remain unclear because of unspecified or favorable assumptions and operating conditions. The aim of this paper is to clarify these conditions by examining how the hydrogen produced is used. The analysis that has been conducted in the framework of the HyFrance 3 project concerns hydrogen for transport applications. Different technical systems are considered such as motorway hydrogen filling stations, Hythane®-fueled buses or second-generation biofuels production, which present contrasted hydrogen use characteristics. This analysis reveals considerable variations in hydrogen production costs depending on the demand profiles concerned, with the most favorable configurations being those in which storage systems are kept to a minimum.wind power ; hydrogen production
