With the release of powerful smartphone devices, and more recently Google’s project Glass, Augmented Reality (AR) quickly became the new buzz word. The technology allows combining seamlessly physical world and virtual information, but is still widely under-utilised in the field of Tourism. This report presents 10 highly innovative AR experiences that showcase the potential of the technology to ...

This paper tackles the issue of women and religion through a particular looking glass: religious utterances such as curses, supplication, and prayer, as reflected in some passages from ancient Greek epic and tragedy—pivotal literary genres in the ideological discourse of the Greek polis.

This paper proposes a critical discussion about the magic circle concept, through a debate with prior works on the issue, as those elaborated by Johan Huizinga and Katie Salen & Eric Zimmerman, as well as with cognitive psychology studies regarding attention. We shall argue that the magic circle, instead of separating fiction and reality, would work as a cognitive mediation structure with grade...

In the original work by Blow and Crick, experimental phasing was formulated as a least-squares problem. For good data on good derivatives this approach works reasonably well, but we now attempt to extract more information from poorer data than in the past. As in many other crystallographic problems, the assumptions underlying the use of least squares for phasing are not satisfied, particularly ...

Infantile colic is a common disturbance occurring in the first three months of life. It is a benign condition and one of the main causes of pediatric consultation in the early part of life because of its great impact on family life. Some pediatricians are prone to undervalue this issue mainly because of the lack of evidence based medicine guidelines. Up to now, there is no consensus concerning ...

T eeth are the most common elements in the mammalian fossil record. Thus it is not surprising that they have yielded many insights into the lives of extinct creatures. When researchers in the 1970s noted that subtle differences in molar tooth shape could be correlated with significant dietary differences (1–7), it opened the door for a vast array of ‘‘functional analyses’’ of teeth in which var...

We define as an ’articulation point’ in a lattice an element which is comparable to all the other elements, but is not extremum. We investigate a property which holds for both the lattice of a binary relation and for the lattice of the complement relation (which we call the mirror relation): one has an articulation point if and only if the other has one also. We give efficient algorithms to gen...
