Evolution, communication and the function of language

G Origgi, D Sperber - Evolution and the human mind: Modularity …, 2000 - books.google.com
Language is both a biological and a cultural phenomenon. Our aim here is to discuss, in an
evolutionary perspective, the articulation of these two aspects of language. For this, we draw …

First direct observation of time-reversal non-invariance in the neutral-kaon system

A Angelopoulos, A Apostolakis, E Aslanides… - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
We report on the first observation of time-reversal symmetry violation through a comparison
of the probabilities of K 0 transforming into K0 and K0 into K 0 as a function of the neutral …

An upper limit on the neutrino mass from three-and five-prong tau decays

Aleph Collaboration, R Barate - … Physical Journal C-Particles and Fields, 1998 - Springer
A bound on the tau neutrino mass is established using the data collected from 1991 to 1995
at s≃m_Z with the ALEPH detector. Two separate limits are derived by fitting the distribution …

Physics at CPLEAR

A Angelopoulos, A Apostolakis, E Aslanides… - Physics Reports, 2003 - Elsevier
LEAR offered unique opportunities to study the symmetries which exist between matter and
antimatter. At variance with other approaches at this facility, CPLEAR was an experiment …

Supersymmetric higher-derivative actions in ten and eleven dimensions, the associated superalgebras and their formulation in superspace

K Peeters, P Vanhove, A Westerberg - arxiv preprint hep-th/0010167, 2000 - arxiv.org
Higher-derivative terms in the string and M-theory effective actions are strongly constrained
by supersymmetry. Using a mixture of techniques, involving both string amplitude …

Planning sub-optimal and continuous-curvature paths for car-like robots

A Scheuer, C Laugier - … in theory, practice and applications (cat …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Deals with path planning for car-like robots. Usual planners compute paths made of circular
arcs tangentially connected by line segments, as these paths are locally optimal. The …

Individualisme méthodologique et cognitivisme

D Sperber - Cognition et sciences sociales, 1997 - inria.hal.science
Most path planners for car-like robots compute``Reeds and Shepp paths''made up of line
segments connected with circular arcs. Such paths have a discontinuous curvature that …

An EPR experiment testing the non-separability of the K0K0 wave function

A Apostolakis, E Aslanides, G Backenstoss… - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
The EPR-type strangeness correlation in the K0K 0 system produced in the reaction pp→ K
0K 0 at rest has been tested using the CPLEAR detector. The strangeness was tagged via …

Measurement of the inclusive production of neutral pions and charged particles on the Z0 resonance

B Adeva, O Adriani, M Aguilar-Benitez, H Akbari… - Physics Letters B, 1991 - Elsevier
We present a study of the inclusive production of neutral pions and charged particles from
112 000 hadronic Z0 decays. The measured inclusive momentum distributions can be …

Cosmic star formation, reionization, and constraints on global chemical evolution

F Daigne, KA Olive, E Vangioni-Flam… - The Astrophysical …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Motivated by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) results indicating
an early epoch of reionization, we consider alternative cosmic star formation models that are …
