Striking remarks can already be found in Das Ich und das Es [1923] (which starts his second topography), but the idea already surfaces during the period of his first topography in Das Unbewu...

Bent crystal may enhance the physics reach of a nearbeam physics detector in the CERN-LHC, by increasing the acceptance of scattered protons in low transverse momentum reactions. As an example we present simulations demonstrating the increase of the Roman Pot acceptance in the TOTEM apparatus. Starting from the MadX v6.5 collision optics, a crystal is placed at different longitudinal and transv...

Personalized information retrieval systems are unlikely to achieve widespread use unless users trust the system to retrieve useful information without excluding important information. The field of user modeling involves determining the preferences of individuals. For people to rely on a personalized information retrieval system, they must sufficiently understand and feel in control of their use...

Abstract When world literature is seen as a product of translation and circulation mode reading, new attributes, other than literariness, can be inferred, such relevance to readers, combination cultural peculiarity universality, accessibility. A case study Wolf Totem reveals that these attributes explain how commercial publishers frame, translators rewrite, readers interpret works. Commercial p...
