Über das Verschwinden der ästhetischen Texterfahrung in konjunktiven Erfahrungsräumen

Dem konjunktiven Erfahrungsraum, dessen Konjunktivität und Räumlichkeit zur Voraussetzung haben, dass Erfahrung im Bezug auf ein „Du“ gemacht wird, ist hier der disjunktive Erfahrungsraum gegenübergestellt. Konkretisiert man den Erfahrungsraum als Raum ästhetischer Erfahrung, so wäre der disjunktive Erfahrungsraum prototypisch für diese Erfahrungsform – zumindest für die Betrachtung des ästhetischen Erfahrens der Literatur: Der Leser ist allein mit einem Buch / einem Text. Bezogen auf das Analyseobjekt wird der konjunktive Erfahrungsraum bei Dirck Linck im Zusammenhang mit einem „Verschwinden“ ästhetischer Erfahrung von Literatur betrachtet – dies im Falle der Beat- und Pop-Literatur der 1960er Jahre

Distance-Dependent RED Policy (DDRED)

International audienceThe network quality of service (QoS) and the congestion control of the transport protocol are important parameters for the performance of a network data transfer. To this end, routers use various queue policies for packet dispatching, and all of them must deal with packet drop. We propose a new algorithm for packet drop in routers. Given that a packet drop wastes all the network resources it has already used, we propose a new policy which favors packets with higher distance from source. It can be simply integrated on top of tail drop or RED (with or without ECN) queue policies. Simulations with NS2 show that long flows are indeed favored compared to short flows, and lead to higher overall resource utilisation without sacrificing TCP fairness

Security Issues in Mobile Payment from the Customer Viewpoint

The perception of mobile payment procedures’ security by the customer is one major factor for the market breakthrough of the according systems. In this paper we examine security issues in mobile payment from the viewpoint of customers. Based on theoretical research we analyze empirical data from the MP2 mobile payment study with 8295 respondents in order to develop a set of dimensions, categories and aspects. The results do have a scientific as well as a practical impact: They provide a basis for the selection of appropriate indicators for further empirical studies. Furthermore they can serve as a guideline for mobile payment service providers in order to prevent security concerns through appropriate design and communication of payment procedures and to convince customers of the security of their mobile procedures by meeting concerns in informative advertising.
