Intelligence and Music: Lower Intelligent Quotient Is Associated With Higher Use of Music for Experiencing Strong Sensations
2020
Intelligence is a key psychological feature associated to emotion and perception. Listening to music is often linked to emotional experience and sensation seeking (SS), traits that have been shown overall negatively correlated with intelligence. In a sample of 53 musicians and 54 non-musicians, we assessed the use of music for experiencing strong emotions through the Music in Mood Regulation (MMR) and the intelligence quotient (IQ) by using the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III (WAIS-III). We found a negative correlation between the full IQ score and the use of music for SS in both musician and non-musician groups. Furthermore, the use of music for SS was negatively correlated with Ver…
Discussing Tourism as a Rite of Passage
2018
This chapter recapitulates the discussion originated by John Tribe respecting to the dispersion of produced knowledge in tourism. We critically give a new fresh paradigm in order for readers to understand what tourism is. This chapter centers on themes I am not accustomed to discuss but are very important to the epistemological advance of the discipline, precisely in a moment where the epistemology of tourism enters in a serious crisis. Though I here am synthesizing my experience as author, reviewer and editor, no less true is that it situates as a complementary platform to expand the current understanding of tourism and its intersection in culture.
Apprentissage de modalités auxiliaires pour la localisation basée vision
2018
In this paper we present a new training with side modality framework to enhance image-based localization. In order to learn side modality information, we train a fully convo-lutional decoder network that transfers meaningful information from one modality to another. We validate our approach on a challenging urban dataset. Experiments show that our system is able to enhance a purely image-based system by properly learning appearance of a side modality. Compared to state-of-the-art methods, the proposed network is lighter and faster to train, while producing comparable results.
Dosimetric effect of respiratory motion on planned dose in whole-breast volumetric modulated arc therapy using moderate and ultra-hypofractionation.
2021
Abstract Background and purpose The interplay effect of respiratory motion on the planned dose in free-breathing right-sided whole-breast irradiation (WBI) were studied by simulating hypofractionated VMAT treatment courses. Materials and methods Ten patients with phase-triggered 4D-CT images were included in the study. VMAT plans targeting the right breast were created retrospectively with moderately hypofractionated (40.05 Gy in 15 fractions of 2.67 Gy) and ultra-hypofractionated (26 Gy 5 fractions of 5.2 Gy) schemes. 3D-CRT plans were generated as a reference. All plans were divided into respiratory phase-specific plans and calculated in the corresponding phase images. Fraction-specific d…
Cancer-associated fibroblasts do not respond to combined irradiation and kinase inhibitor treatment
2012
The emergence of radioresistance is a significant issue in the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma. We recently demonstrated that post-radiogenic extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling might decrease radiosensitivity in this cancer type. To further elucidate how tumor-organizing cell types respond to irradiation and ERK pathway inhibition, we analyzed one oral squamous cell carcinoma and one lung cancer cell line (HNSCCUM-02T, A549), fibroblasts (NIH3T3), primary normal and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in vitro. Irradiated cells treated with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor U0126 were screened for pERK levels. Post-radiogenic cellular responses were …

Does Animation Facilitate Comprehension of Public Information Graphics? Evidence from Eye Tracking.
2011
Graphic information displays have the potential to communicate public information in situations where normal announcement types are ineffective. This study used eye tracking techniques to analyze comprehension mechanism of event-related information on railway traffic disruptions presented via different graphic formats. One hundred thirteen participants were asked to understand and compare series of traffic disruption messages delivered via three purely visual formats. Animated displays were the most effective presentation type. Eye tracking data showed why an animation facilitates comprehension: it enhances processing strategies which provide the best condition for segmenting the causal cha…
Carbon monoxide detection
2019
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a particularly toxic gas, and the CO poisoning is the leading cause of fatal poisoning in the world. One solution to deal with this dangerous gas is to exploit the advantages given to us by the applications and the technology advances in internet of things (IoT). In this context, we propose to integrate carbon monoxide detection objects to the internet, as part of civil protection intervention applications in case of detection of carbon monoxide to avoid poisoning. To do this, we propose a typical IoT architecture to manage the alerts sent to civil protection in the event of detection of carbon monoxide (CO). The architecture is based on the Message Queue Telemetry T…
Technics Amélioration for geo-localization in wsn via smart computing and real time application
2022
New technologies exploiting digital information acquisition by radio frequency techniques are now commonly used in various practical fields. They are most often used to measure a variety of physical variables such as temperature, humidity, speed, etc. and are gathered under the name of Wireless Sensor Networks “WSN”. For this variant of applications, the accurate location of connected sensor nodes remains an important issue for researchers and industrial applications. Indeed, existing localization algorithms can be classified into two categories known as « range-based » and « range-free ». Range-based localization systems are characterized by major drawbacks. The first one is the cost of th…
Color and multispectral image processing for the detection of inflammatory lesions of the stomach
2019
The work presented in this manuscript is part of the ANR project EMMIE. This project aims to develop an innovative multimodal system for the detection of inflammatory lesions in the stomach. To this purpose, a prototype has been developed to be able to acquire NBI endoscopic images and multispectral images during human's antrum exploration. The prototype is made of a standard endoscope and multispectral images.The prototype can acquire two types of data: NBI images and spectra. These two modalities are processed independently. Common image processing features are used to recognize four kind of diseases: active gastritis, chronic gastritis, metaplasia and atrophy. In addition, visual based f…
