This book, a revised version of the author’s 2011 dissertation at the University of Durham, studies the reinterpretation of Merlin’s character in French and Italian Arthurian literature through the question of translation. Laura...
Crystallization processes in bi-component thin film depositions:
The kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method is a powerful and simple tool to simulate the growth of thin films by deposition. However, one of its major drawbacks is the artificial order induced by the use of regular lattices. An...
