  La cause animale : Les nouveaux animaux de compagnie (NAC) Introduction Depuis l'origine de l’humanité, les hommes ont domestiqué des animaux.

Parmi ces animaux étaient aussi présents les chiens, utilisés pour la chasse ou pour défendre la maison, mais ce desce...

• Animal Behavior - biology.

  The first motor program analyzed in much detail was the egg-rolling response of geese. When a goose sees an egg outside its nest, it stares at the egg, stretches itsneck until its bill is just on the other side of the egg, and then gently rolls the egg back into the nest. At first glance this seems a thoughtful and intelligent piece ofbehavior, but it is a mechanical motor program; almost any smooth, rounded object (the sign stimulus) will release the response. Furthermore, removal of the egg on...

Shapley’s distance measurements showed that the clusters were centered around a point far from the Sun. The arrangement of theclusters was...

The plant is very difficult toeradicate, and it has also clogged the channels of other Florida rivers.

Among the rivers flowing from the peninsula to the Gulf of Mexico are the Suwanne...

• Physics I INTRODUCTION Physics, major science, dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the results produced by these forces.

• La mise en cause du langage dans Fin De Partie de Samuel Beckett

Je raconte cette histoire de plus en plus mal. » (p.35). Àtravers cette autocritique, Beckett met en cause le langage théâtral. Mais le dramaturge va encore plus loin,lorsqu’au milieu de sa pièce il détruit le bien-fondé de la parole théâtrale par elle-même, quand Hamm doit s’yprendre à quatre reprises pour ouvrir s...

  ANALYSE Alain étudie ici les causes de l'ennui et ses remèdes. Pour lui, l'origine en est dans la rêverie ou la méditation : l'esprit seul y est occupé. Or, il faut que l'homme sente ses doigts en activité, et qu'il perçoive autre chose que des phantasmes. Si les femmes s'ennuient moins que les hommes, c'est peut-être qu'elles sont sans cesse occupées à des travaux d'aiguille ou de maison.
