L'ancien et le nouvel eugénisme : les leçons de l'Histoire (audio)
Très longtemps associé au nazisme, l’eugénisme est encore aujourd’hui un sujet polémique voire tabou. Science des biens nés et des bons gênes, il désigne une sélection de la race humaine afin d’assurer le développement et la prédominance des êtres jugés supérieurs.
Les manifestations de l’idéologie eugéniste sont nombreuses dans le monde, de l’Antiquité jusqu’à la moitié du XXe siècle : extermination à Sparte des enfants faibles ou malades et des ha

Lionel Robbins Memorial Lectures - Economic Growth, Human Welfare and Inequality
Lord Turner will deliver the 2010 Lionel Robbins Memorial Lecture Series, running for three consecutive evenings (11/12/13 October). The overall theme of the 3 lectures is Economics after the Crisis.

Two years on much work is in hand to reform global financial regulation, but it is not clear that the crisis will produce change as radical as initially supposed. Adair Turner will argu

'GlyphSea': A New Way to Visualize Vector Data
Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) and other organizations within the University of California, San Diego, have developed a novel way to encode and display vector data that clearly shows magnitude and direction.

ANALGESIE EN SALLE DE NAISSANCE
"Dans la douleur, tu enfanteras" a longtemps été le précepte religieux. Au fil des siècles, la société a évolué vers un accouchement sans douleur.

Malgré la modernisation de prise en charge de la douleur, les patientes restent inquiètes devant la réalisation de la péridurale.

Bayesian Reasoning with Graphical Models
