A New Way to Generate an Exponential Finite Difference Scheme for 2D Convection-Diffusion Equations by Caihua Wang

“…During the derivation process, the higher order derivatives along y-direction are removed to the derivatives along x-direction iteratively using information given by the original differential equation (similarly from x-direction to y-direction) and then instead of keeping finite terms in the Taylor series expansion, infinite terms which constitute convergent series are kept on deriving the exponential coefficients of the scheme. …”

L’esthétique énactive sense-making au fondement d’une éco-soma-artistique by Alice Dupas

“…The somaesthetics founded by Richard Shusterman in the 1990s is a pioneering form of praxis-based aesthetics, involving the effective manipulation of the body in order to perfect it in everyday life and, through it, to perfect the aesthetic and artistic experiences of which it is the constitutive thinking foundation. Somaesthetics thus appears as a necessary component of the aesthetic theory we are looking for. …”

Postmodernity, globalisation, communication and identity by Bert Olivier

“…These questions are explored in relation to the so-called postmodern subject – or the subject in the age of globalisation, the age of hypercommunication, or of 'informatization' – which one may assume to be constituted very differently from the 'modern' subject of the 19th-century, or even more radically differently from premodern subjects. …”

Le paysage spatial dans la bande dessinée de science-fiction by Irène Langlet

“…These two hypotheses are articulated here to show that the spatial landscape witnesses, in the bande dessinée, to the recognition of a visual genre culture but also to the knowledge of a science emblematic of modernity, and of its major technological adventure: the space race.By observing how the SF signature is constituted in a diversion from the astronomical rigor, I establish the architextual framework in which the aesthetic and formal question can be posited. …”

Les nouvelles frontières des Jeux Anthropologiques de Saint-Louis by Fabrice Delsahut

“…From these facts, we would like to show how sports sciences and burgeoning anthropology began, together, to serve such questionable causes as racial hierarchy and the right to colonize and how they greatly contributed to the birth of an American nation that put sport in the heart of its constitution. The impact of race studies on the ways of thinking sport, contrary to what the different chairmen of the IOC tried hard to make believe during the new decades, was not only a mere avatar of the Olympic movement. …”
