The placenta protects the fetal circulation from anxiety-driven elevations in maternal serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays crucial roles in brain function. Numerous studies report alterations in BDNF levels in human serum in various neurological conditions, including mood disorders such as depression....

Coping Strategies and Paradoxes Related to BYOD Information Security Threats in France
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) refers to the provision and use of personal mobile devices by employees for both private and business purposes. Although there has been research on BYOD, little attention has been paid to employees'...
Infinite approximate subgroups of soluble Lie groups
S Machado
Feb 07, 2022
AbstractWe study infinite approximate subgroups of soluble Lie groups. We show that approximate subgroups are close, in a sense to be defined, to genuine connected subgroups. Building upon this...

Fast nonnegative least squares through flexible Krylov subspaces
Silvia Gazzola, Yves Wiaux
Apr 27, 2017
Constrained least squares problems arise in a variety of applications, and many iterative methods are already available to compute their solutions. This paper proposes a new efficient approach to solve nonnegative linear least...

Preposition Stranding and que-deletion in Varieties of North American French.
Comparative studies of the differences between North-American varieties of French (NAF) and Standard French (SF) reveal that most variation is found in the lexical and phonological systems. This type of variation is...
Change-Point Estimation in High-Dimensional Markov Random Field Models
This paper investigates a change-point estimation problem in the context of high-dimensional Markov Random Field models. Change-points represent a key feature in many dynamically evolving network structures. The change-point...

An MBO scheme for clustering and semi-supervised clustering of signed networks

We introduce a principled method for the signed clustering problem, where the goal is to partition a weighted undirected graph whose edge weights take both positive and negative values, such that edges within the same cluster...

Francitan vs. Standard French Pronunciation in Southeastern France
Alain Thomas
Nov 19, 2013
This article presents the results of a survey on French pronunciation in the Nice (France) area, which attempts to determine whether southern pronunciation is being lost in that region and, if so, to what extent, on which...
Respiratory Inductance Plethysmography for Automated Swallowing Detection
In the context of remote medical monitoring of swallowing, the authors investigate the potential of non-invasive respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) technique to automatically detect swallow events in a wide context of...
Negative differential conductance materials for flexible electronics
Alain Nogaret
Dec 15, 2014
The need for electronics that is compatible with life is driving the search for electronically active materials that may be used for transferring integrated circuits onto flexible substrates. One route is to build transistors...

On Russian Roulette Estimates for Bayesian Inference with Doubly-Intractable Likelihoods
A large number of statistical models are "doubly-intractable": the likelihood normalising term, which is a function of the model parameters, is intractable, as well as the marginal likelihood (model evidence). This means that...

Inhibition Delay Increases Neural Network Capacity through Stirling Transform

Inhibitory neural networks are found to encode high volumes of information through delayed inhibition. We show that inhibition delay increases storage capacity through a Stirling transform of the minimum capacity which...

Mid and Low Vowels in Southeastern French
Alain Thomas
Sep 30, 2014
In this article, we present the partial results of a survey of French pronunciationin southeastern France, where the local variants are more and more threatened bystandard French (SF). In order to document this process, we have...
