So went the latest round of contract negotiations between the faculty and the administration. The faculty's contract negotiating team contends that administrative bargaining tactics have the potential to stall the talks and delay the signing of a new contract. But the administration says the negotiations are moving at a normal pace. Robert Carroll, president of the l~cal chapter of the Association of American University Professors (AAUP), said he was disappointed with the March 27 talk~ because the administrative bargaining team came to the session stating it was "not prepared to discuss economic issues." • "It was an amicable session and a number of issues were discussed at length," said Carroll, a professor in the plant and soil science depanment.

Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! ...... Bon voyage ! En 1987, le Hard-Rock mélodique est à son apogée ! L'année que choisit le groupe anglais DEF LEPPARD pour sortir l'album de sa consécration mondiale, le bien nommé et exceptionnel Hysteria ! DEF LEPPARD, formé à la toute fin 70' sort son quatrième album, fort d'un travail acharné avec Robert John Mutt LANGE, déjà auteur de prouesses avec AC/DC entre autre ! Ce dernier a repéré le groupe début 80' et travaille avec DEF LEPPARD dès le deuxième opus High'n'Dry dont le single Bringin' On The Heartbreak propulse le groupe sous les projecteurs en 1981 ! Pyromania voit le jour en 1983 et est considéré par les puristes comme le chef-d’œuvre de DEF LEPPARD ! Je le pense aussi ! Cela dit, c'est avec Hysteria que DEF LEPPARD connaît la consécration ! Alors oui, Hysteria sonne différemment, est plus commerciale aussi dans un certain sens ! Le son de batterie est à mon sens la raison principale de changement car Rick ALLEN joue sur une batterie électronique adapté pour lui ! Pour mémoire, le 31 Décembre

  • Biofeedback and Virtual Environments Erik Champion and Andrew Dekker
    Biofeedback And Virtual Environments Erik Champion and Andrew Dekker international journal of architectural computing issue 04, volume 09 377 Biofeedback And Virtual Environments Erik Champion and Andrew Dekker Abstract This paper explains potential benefits of indirect biofeedback used within interactive virtual environments, and reflects on an earlier study that allowed for the dynamic modification of a virtual environment’s graphic shaders, music and artificial intelligence, based on the biofeedback of the player. The aim was to determine which augmented effects aided or discouraged engagement in the game. Conversely, biofeedback can help calm down rather than stress participants, and attune them to different ways of interacting within a virtual environment. Other advantages of indirect biofeedback might include increased personalization, thematic object creation, atmospheric augmentation, filtering of information, and tracking of participants’ understanding and engagement. Such features may help designers create more intuitive virtual environments with more thematically appropriate interaction while reducing cognitive loading on the participants. Another benefit would be more engaged clients with a better understanding of the richness and complexity of a digital environment. 378 1. INTRODUCTION This article argues the converse to the ‘liquid architecture’ theory of digital worlds posted a decade ago by Novak [1]. Rather than a liquid realm, we may wish for vague digital media boundaries that congeal or even solidify on interaction, in order to direct people into different cognitive realms, and through their more indeterminate nature afford a wider and richer range of interactive modes and contextual information. Unfortunately, architecture (as a built place) has too often been viewed as an art form that relies on its aesthetic value in terms of being an immovable and immutable object.
