Barriers and borders

Cultural Borders and Mental Barriers

Despite abundant anecdotal evidence that creativity is associated with living in foreign countries, there is currently little empirical evidence for this relationship. Five studies employing a multimethod approach systematically explored the link between living abroad and creativity. Using both individual and dyadic creativity tasks, Studies 1 and 2 provided initial demonstrations that time spe...

Borders and Finite Automata

A border of a string is a prefix of the string that is simultaneously its suffix. It is one of the basic stringology keystones used as a part of many algorithms in pattern matching, molecular biology, computerassisted music analysis and others. The paper discusses automata-theoretical background of Iliopoulos’s ALL BORDERS algorithm that finds all borders of a string with don’t care symbols. We...

Boring European Borders?! Integration and Mobility across Borders

This paper discusses the apparent stubbornness of immobility that exists in the European Union. It starts from the observation that the apparent abolishing of borders has not led to the supposed increase in crossborder interaction. Two concepts are introduced, indifference and unfamiliarity, this way trying to understand border effects, especially in Europe and the European Union. From this it ...
