Le modèle physique masses-interactions pour la synthèse du mouvement visuel ou la modélisation de scènes virtuelles animées interactives, et en particulier le formalisme CORDIS-ANIMA généralisant son principe grâce à son haut degré de modularité, est aujourd'hui apprécié pour la qualité et la très grande variété de phénomènes qu'il permet d'obtenir. Cependant, cette richesse ne peut être utilisée dans toute sa complexité sans un outil de conception de modèles qui le met au centre du processus de création, et qui ouvre au maximum les possibilités tout en respectant ses principes. Pour cela, l'environnement de modélisation - constitué de tous les moyens donnés à l'utilisateur pour construire, paramétrer, habiller et simuler un réseau CORDIS-ANIMA - est déterminant dans les possibilités créatrices de l'utilisateur. Partant des outils précédents de modélisation, notre travail consiste à les étendre par des fonctionnalités évoluées permettant de franchir un saut qualitatif vers la création de modèles complexes. Pour ce faire, nous nous sommes appuyés sur l'organisation du processus de modélisation physique modulaire en 5 phases : pré-structuration qualitative, pré-structuration quantitative, conditions initiales, habillage pour le rendu visuel, et simulation. Pour chacune des quatre premières phases, nous avons été amenés à examiner trois types de fonctionnalités critiques dans la modélisation physique : 1. Proposer deux styles de représentations complémentaires pour la conception et la manipulation de modèles - la représentation langagière et la représentation graphique - de manière à tirer parti des avantages de chacune, ainsi que de leur combinaison. Ce point est essentiel dans la manipulation de réseaux CORDIS-ANIMA très complexes. 2. Proposer des fonctionnalités permettant de franchir un pas dans la spécification des conditions initiales, phase critique dans la modélisation physique. Nous proposons en particulier des fonctionnalités pour la transformation au sein du système masses-interactions de propriétés spatiales en provenance de modeleurs orientés géométrie. Ce point pose la question plus générale de la compatibilité entre modélisation de propriétés géométriques et de propriétés physiques. 3. Etendre les possibilités de modélisation en permettant l'intégration de la modification paramétrique en ligne, autre point critique pour la modélisation physique, puisqu'il permet d'introduire des modifications non linéaires en ligne. Ces nouvelles fonctionnalités sont à la base du nouvel outil MIMESIS V, et tracent une voie vers un outil interactif complet pour la modélisation physique particulaire masses-interactions.

Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

*THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK ON SPRINGERLINK* This open access book is the product of ICMI Study 22 Task Design in Mathematics Education. The study offers a state-of-the-art summary of relevant research and goes beyond that to develop new insights and new areas of knowledge and study about task design. The authors represent a wide range of countries and cultures and are leading researchers, teachers and designers. In particular, the authors develop explicit understandings of the opportunities and difficulties involved in designing and implementing tasks and of the interfaces between the teaching, researching and designing roles – recognising that these might be undertaken by the same person or by completely separate teams. Tasks generate the activity through which learners meet mathematical concepts, ideas, strategies and learn to use and develop mathematical thinking and modes of enquiry. Teaching includes the selection, modification, design, sequencing, installation, observation and evaluation of tasks. The book illustrates how task design is core to effective teaching, whether the task is a complex, extended, investigation or a small part of a lesson; whether it is part of a curriculum system, such as a textbook, or promotes free standing activity; whether the task comes from published source or is devised by the teacher or the student.

Existential semiotics involves an a priori state of signs and their fixation into objective entities. These essays define this new philosophical field.

Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg.

This comprehensive volume brings together a multidisciplinary team of leading scholars to provide an authoritative, state-of-the-art review of all aspects of borders and border research. It is global in scope and embraces the more traditional strands of the field including geopolitics, migration and territorial identities, and also recently emerging topics such as the role of borders in a seemingly borderless world; creating neighbourhoods, and border enforcement in the post-9/11 era.

The main focus of this volume is on urbanity as a discursive way of human life in the city. Discourse is specified here in terms of semiotic codes and processes that link city dwellers as communicating selves into interpersonal and intersubjective collectivities when they create and interpret similar meanings embodied in material bearers. Accordingly, the unfolding of the semiotic web is understood, firstly, as detecting and evaluating the growth and manifestation of the sphere of meaning-bearers or a sequence of meaning-bearing events, and secondly, as identifying and explaining the constituents and aspects of discourse in the light of signs and/or sign-processes that aggregate individual participants of communication into discursive linkages on a lower level and discursive communities - on a higher level of social grouping. Some contributions deal with the discursive properties of human individuals in urban environments, and some others are devoted either to the meta-discourses on the city or discourses in the city.

Over the past decades, the field of sign language linguistics has expanded considerably. Recent research on sign languages includes a wide range of subdomains such as reference grammars, theoretical linguistics, psycho- and neurolinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied studies on sign languages and Deaf communities. The SLDC series is concerned with the study of sign languages in a comprehensive way, covering various theoretical, experimental, and applied dimensions of sign language research and their relationship to Deaf communities around the world. The series provides a multidisciplinary platform for innovative and outstanding research in sign language linguistics and aims at linking the study of sign languages to current trends in modern linguistics, such as new experimental and theoretical investigations, the importance of language endangerment, the impact of technological developments on data collection and Deaf education, and the broadening geographical scope of typological sign language studies, especially in terms of research on non-Western sign languages and Deaf communities.
