Kinship through code, personhood as node: AI afterlives and new technologies of the self Parenté par le code, personne nodale : vie posthume dans l'IA et nouvelles technologies du moi

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article examines how emerging generative AI technologies in Europe and North America are being used to reanimate the dead, prompting users to define the ‘edges’ of self and personhood through coding practices. These technologies invite new engagements with fundamental questions of relatedness and the construction of the self, challenging and ...

War and Peace: Ogawa Takemitsu's Theological Engagement with State and Religion

open access: yesJournal of Religious History, EarlyView.
The Manchurian Incident of 1931 marked a pivotal moment in the rise of Japanese fascism. During the period from this incident until the Pacific War's defeat, dissent from the state's control was not tolerated, leading to coercive measures in religious communities. The Christian community, rather than devising theological reasoning to resist the state's

Simulation of the Motion of Stars Escaping from the Galactic Center

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2015
Motions of stars escaping from the Galactic center are simulated. It is shown that the Galactic bar reduces the initial velocity needed to escape from the Galaxy.

Polarization vision and the physiological basis for trichromatic vision in Philaenus spumarius: Understanding host‐seeking behaviour in insect vectors for Xylella fastidiosa control

open access: yesAnnals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
We investigated the role of vision in host‐seeking behaviour by Philaenus spumarius, the main European vector of Xylella fastidiosa, through an integrated anatomical, optical, physiological, and behavioural study. Our data highlight that the spittlebug uses visual cues, including polarized light, which may aid in detecting the polarized reflections ...

Computation of asteroid proper elements: Recent advances [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2017
The recent advances in computation of asteroid proper elements are briefly reviewed. Although not representing real breakthroughs in computation and stability assessment of proper elements, these advances can still be considered as important improvements

Heteroclinic connections between periodic orbits and resonance transitions in celestial mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
In this paper we apply dynamical systems techniques to the problem of heteroclinic connections and resonance transitions in the planar circular restricted three-body problem.

Faith, gender and financial investment: Providence and Presbyterianism in Scotland and abroad

open access: yesAsia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Mid‐nineteenth century fictional representations of misdirected investment by widows and clergy position them as ignorant in financial matters and hence pitiable. While scholars have recognised female agency in nineteenth century commerce, insufficient attention has been paid to religious belief in financial decision‐making.

TITIUS-BODE`S Relation and 55 Cancri [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2008
Two kinds of important issues on Titius-Bode`s relation have been discussed up to now: one is if there is a simple mathematical relation between distances of natural bodies orbiting a central body, and the other is if there is any physical basis for such

An approach to Mel'nikov theory in celestial mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Using a completely analytic procedure - based on a suitable extension of a classical method - we discuss an approach to the Poincar\'e-Mel'nikov theory, which can be conveniently applied also to the case of non-hyperbolic critical points, and even if the
