The European Union is a secular entity. In the debate surrounding the Constitutional Treaty, strong voices were raised demanding a reference to the 'Christian heritage' of Europe. This never happened, instead, the preamble of the Lisbon Treaty accentuates that the Union is ''[d]rawing inspiration from the cultural, religious and humanist inheritance of Europe.'' The latter
The present study was a replication report where it investigates suppression-induced forgetting (SIF) using the think/no-think experimental paradigm and the thought avoidance strategy when tested using the same cue (same probe) and novel cue (independent probe) during learning of neutral words. Same probe test has been examined to demonstrate high sensitivity in detecting inhibition via the relati
The paper deals with the question to what extent tax incentives especially designed to promote research and development are compatible with European Union Law. Therefore tax incentives are analysed with special regard to the Fundamental Freedoms and the State aid provision. It can be found that legislators have three basic possibilities given by European Union Law, which differ in the freedom of d

Making a web browser haptically accessible, makes it possible also for visually impaired persons to access graphical properties such as the layout of a web browser. With haptic interaction, it will also be possible to access 3D objects (VRML or X3D fil
This tutorial describes experiences with applying a control theoretical approach to achieving performance guarantees in Web servers, with emphasis on delay control. A model for the server is formulated and translated into a control problem formulation. Limitations of the control theoretic approach are identified that arise due to system non-linearities and modeling inaccuracies. Solutions are prop
Web accessibility has become increasingly important to ensure all people can benefit from the information and services available on the web. Despite the multiple international web accessibility standards, studies have revealed a low compliance rate by organizations globally. This study emphasizes that the successful incorporation of Web accessibility in an organization requires a holistic vision t
The issue of possession of the air has been debated over literally thousands of years. The Romans debated the ownership of the air above their cornfields. When man finally could construct aircraft, in this case a balloon, heavier-than-air in the 1780's it did not take long before the first regulation came into force. The issue of state sovereignty had been discussed since the national states s
The classification of 2 532 new settlements in the Census of India 2011 as 'urban', and specifically as 'Census Towns', has brought small and emerging urban centres back into the purview of urban studies and urban development in India. Taking this to be a point of entry, this article seeks to explore how the urban has been framed and approached from different and competing epistemological standpoi
The strong CP problem and its solution are treated on the undergraduate level. We first review the theoretical background of symmetry and symmetry breaking in particle physics. The Goldstone model is treated for several simple systems: the linear sigma model, the Higgs mechanism and the interpretation of pions as pseudo-Goldstone bosons in QCD. The problem of lack of CP-violation in strong interac
