This paper sets out to explain in what senses economics is supposed to be fun. In particular, the books in what I will call the economics-made-fun genre will be compared first with papers and books written by economists with the explic...

In this demo, we showcase a set up wizard designed to bypass the cold start problem that often affects recommendation systems in the event domain. We have developed a mobile application for tourists, RelEVENT, which allows them to quickly and non-intrusively set up preferences and/or interests related to events. This will directly affect the degree to which they can receive personalized recomme...

When LHC experiments like ATLAS [1, 2] and CMS [3] begin to look for signs of supersymmetry (or any other models with large numbers of new particles), one of the first things they will want to probe is the mass scale associated with these new particles, if there are any. Single particles produced in narrow s-channel resonances will in general be easy to spot (one would hope) and will not be con...

Jonathan M. Borwein1, Xianfu Wang August 13, 1999 ABSTRACT. We prove a \typi al" subdi erentiability prin iple and apply it to a variety of omplete metri spa es of ontinuous fun tions on separable Bana h spa es; so as to obtain existen e of fun tions with maximal subdi erentials when ordered by in lusion. The relationship between ontinuous fun tions with maximal subdi erentials and nowhere mono...
