Why Brussels? Neruda’s ‘título absolutamente enigmático’ by Moran, D

“…<p>The primary purpose of this article is to propose a solution to longstanding literary mystery, namely, why Neruda&rsquo;s disconcertingly enigmatic poem &lsquo;Bruselas&rsquo; (from&nbsp;<em>Tercera residencia</em>&nbsp;[1947]) has a title which seems to bear little if any relation either to the city of Brussels itself or to its sometimes bewilderingly obscure content and imagery. …”

Universal resilience patterns in labor markets by Moro, Esteban, Frank, Morgan R., Pentland, Alex, Rutherford, Alex, Cebrian, Manuel, Rahwan, Iyad

Optoelectronic memristive devices for retinomorphic application - 1 by Tun, Thaw Tint Te

“…Optoelectronic memristive devices can be used to achieve that goal because of their property: coalescing sensing, memorizing, and computing in a single space. Many studies have been conducted toward this research direction, however, the complete and fully functioning retinomorphic system is not well realized yet. …”

The competing use of perfect and aorist tenses in Old Church Slavonic by MacRobert, C

“…Although a semantic account can explain the choice of perfect or aorist in many places, it seems not to be fully adequate in a number of instances where second person perfect and aorist forms are used in close juxtaposition and similar context. …”

Electrical and optical properties of hybrid transparent electrodes that use metal grids and graphene films by Ho, Xinning, Lu, Haijing, Liu, Wenjun, Tey, Ju Nie, Cheng, Chek Kweng, Kok, Eugene, Wei, Jun

Self-knowledge : strengthening our privileged access and the inner sense mechanism by Nur Amirah Sabrina Mohamad

“…In the discourse of self-knowledge, the concept of privileged access and the inner sense account seems to be taken for granted in that we are not cognizant of what else it can offer. …”

The phenomenology of mediumship by Benjamin, Geoffrey

“…The latter requirement leads mediums to perform actions that generate in themselves the directly felt sensation of simultaneously acting and being acted upon. ‘Trance’ – which seems not to be a unitary altered state of consciousness – labels the kind of performance that mediums must actively perform in order to convince themselves that some other agency is acting on (or through) them. …”

Multi-scale modelling in computational biomedicine by Sloot, Peter M. A., Hoekstra, Alfons G.

“…However, an underpinning multi-scale modelling methodology seems to be missing. We propose a direction that complements the classic dynamical systems approach and introduce two distinct case studies, transmission of resistance in human immunodeficiency virus spreading and in-stent restenosis in coronary artery disease.…”

Variation in height and BMI of adult Indians by Som, S, Ulijaszek, S, Pal, M, Bharati, S, Bharati, P

“…In the case of BMI, it is age that seems to be the most influential factor. Surprisingly, the observed changes in height and BMI are not as expected for short and tall or underweight and overweight people; these sometimes behave in the opposite directions to that of normal height and weight people. …”

Must refugees be grateful? by Buxton, R, Gibney, MJ

Impostor syndrome and pretense by Levy, N

“…Anecdotally, it is experienced more by members of historically disadvantaged groups, but the empirical data seems inconsistent with this view. I argue that impostor syndrome occurs because (a) it is normal, appropriate and often even necessary to engage in some degree of pretense in order to acquire specialist expertise, but (b) we are much more likely to be aware of our own pretense than that of others. …”

Promoting strategic internal communication in governance to enhance employee creativity in organization by Nur Hidayah, Shamsul Azhar, Fadzida, Ismail, Noor Akma, Abu Bakar

Secure and secret cooperation in robotic swarms by Castelló Ferrer, Eduardo, Hardjono, Thomas, Pentland, Alex 'Sandy', Dorigo, Marco

“…We propose a system where robots in a swarm, to cooperate towards mission completion, have to "prove" their integrity to their peers by exchanging cryptographic proofs. We show the implications of this approach for two different swarm robotics missions: foraging and maze formation. …”
