In her article "Pullinger's and Joseph's Inanimate Alice and Intercultural Engagement" Ana Abril analyzes Kate Pullinger's and Chris Joseph's digital graphic novel and game. Inanimate Alice offers a model for online education environments and has been widely acclaimed. However, Abril's analysis suggests possible ways for improving the empathic and educational potential of the novel/game for int...

monitoring interface; concrete implementations for MySQL [8] and MonALISA [9] are already available. The PROOF basic scheduler implementation provides the possibility to assign the worker nodes based on the load and the group priority according to the simple formula: Nworkers = N f ree CPU · f · P̄j + Nmin where N f ree CPU is the number of free CPUs on the cluster nodes, f and Nmin are, respect...

Background: OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) is a standard method of testing declarative and process knowledge in clinical core competencies. It is desirable that students undergo OSCE training before participating in the exam. However, establishing OSCE training is resource intensive and often limited in practice time. Web-based immersive patient simulators like ALICE (Artifici...

Consider a setting of two mutually distrustful parties Alice and Bob who want to securely evaluate some function on pre-specified inputs. The well studied notion of two-party secure computation allows them to do so in the stand-alone setting. Consider a deterministic function (e.g., 1-out-of-2 bit OT) that Alice and Bob can not evaluate trivially and which allows only Bob to receive the output....

In the literature, a uniformly accelerated reference frame is defined as a set of observers who remain at rest with respect to a given observer Alice who is accelerating at a constant rate with respect to the instantaneously comoving inertial frames. Two observers Alice and Bob are said to be at rest with respect to each other if the time elapses on the clock of Alice during the passage of a li...

CASE REPORT A case of Alice in Wonderland syndrome is described as the only sign of Epstein-Barr virus infection. DISCUSSION Epstein-Barr virus infection may include visual symptoms as the first or only signs of disease. All patients presenting with a clinical picture consistent with the Alice in Wonderland syndrome should undergo serological testing for Epstein-Barr virus infection.
