Texte intégral

Résumé :

The ability of music to stir human emotions is a well known fact (Gabrielsson & Lindstrom. 2001). However, the manner in which music contributes to those experiences remains obscured. One of the main reasons is the large number of syndromes that characterise emotional experiences. Another is their subjective nature: musical emotions can be affected by memories, individual preferences and attitudes, among other factors (Scherer & Zentner, 2001). But can the same music induce similar affective experiences in all listeners, somehow independently of acculturation or personal bias? A consid

Résumé :

Video games are interactive software able to arouse different kinds of emotions in players. Usually, the game designer tries to define a set of game features able to enjoy, engage, and/or educate the consumers. Through the gameplay, the narrative, and the game environment, a video game is able to interact with players' intellect and emotions. Thanks to the technological developments of the last years, the gaming industry has grown to become one of the most important entertainment markets. The scientific community and private companies have put a lot of efforts on the technical aspects as

Résumé :

This thesis aimed to increase understanding of the underlying physiological sources of the substantial inter-individual variability in heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) reactions to acute psychological stress. This aim was achieved using a multi-method approach that included meta-analysis, laboratory studies, and prospective secondary analysis of epidemiological data. Chapter 2 implicated beta-adrenergic sympathetic activation and parasympathetic withdrawal in the cardiovascular stress response and showed that autonomic changes vary as a function of stress task, age, and sex.

Résumé :

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are stable analogues of pyrophosphate widely used for the treatment of bone diseases characterised by increased bone resorption. Studies over the years have shown that the pharmacological potencies of BPs are dependent both on their binding affinities for bone mineral and on their inhibitory actions on osteoclasts. In addition, potential effects on other cell types present locally in the environment of skeletal tissues have been reported. The present study systematically evaluated the relative mineral-binding affinities of individual BPs of clinically relevance in mixture

One of the main factors affecting the survival of rhizobia on seed is desiccation stress. The poor survival of rhizobia affects nodulation, nitrogen fixation and legume yield. A better understanding of desiccation tolerance and how it may be enhanced may contribute to the development of strategies to improve survival of rhizobia on seed. This study aimed to improve the survival of rhizobia by enhancing inherent mechanisms of desiccation tolerance through the manipulation of the growth medium. Accumulation of intracellular trehalose by rhizobia increases in response to osmotic and desiccation s

Résumé :

How does popular twenty-first century music manipulate emotions of its mass audience? Music carries emotional valence, due to key basal psychological functions interacting with listeners as they undergo musical experience. This dissertation aims to identify how and why we are emotionally manipulated when experiencing music in our everyday contexts, to assist in the composers’ plight: altering emotions of a listener for a purpose. Experiencing emotion occurs in three steps: an arousal of nervous energy, a blocked tendency to react, and a build up of energy manifesting as emotion (MacCurdy, 20

The ability of a bird to maneuver in flight can determine its success at avoiding predators, catching prey, and other critical behaviors. Highly maneuverable animals, such as hummingbirds, are capable of diverse behaviors but it is unknown how their maneuvering is constrained by wing motion, wing morphology, and muscle capacity. The purpose of this dissertation was to determine: 1) if hummingbird wings create independent wakes; 2) if independent wingbeat kinematics are used to control maneuvers; and 3) how maneuverability is limited by intrinsic features, such as wing morphology, body mass, an

Life-history trade-offs have been well-documented within the literature through correlational and experimental studies. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying these trade-offs are less understood.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) may be one shared mechanism that is particularly important.

The aim of this PhD research project was the understanding of some molecular and physiological mechanisms involved in stress signalling in plants. When plants are exposed to environmental growth conditions far from the ideals, plants are under stress. Under stress conditions, plant growth and crop yield could be severely affected. In general, adverse growth conditions are caused by plant pathogens (biotic stress) and not ideal environmental conditions (abiotic stress) such as heat, cold, drought, lack of nutrients, and heavy metals.

After unilateral lesions of the mesotelencephalic dopamine (DA) system, the administration of DA receptor agonists results in circling. This response is believed to reflect an asymmetry in mesotelencephalic DA activity. Moreover, drug-induced circling is thought to be directed away from the projection of higher dopaminergic activity. Recently, it has been reported that circling can be established and maintained using operant procedures in surgically intact and drug naive rats. The phenomenon of conditioned circling has been associated with an asymmetrical change in DA metabolism within the str

Many plants and animals are defended by toxic compounds, and circumvention of those defenses often has involved the evolution of elaborate mechanisms for tolerance or resistance of the toxins. Toads synthesize potent cardiotonic steroids known as bufadienolides (BDs) from cholesterol and store those toxins in high concentrations in their cutaneous glands. Those toxins protect toads from the majority of predators, including most snakes that readily consume other species of frogs. BDs exert their effect by inhibiting ion transport by the Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA). This ubiquitous transmembrane enzyme

Drugs of abuse are thought to have the common action of increasing dopaminergie transmission in the mesolimbic dopamine (DA) pathway, specifically in the nucleus accumbens (NAc).
