World Models for Robotic Manipulation: A Survey
World models enable robots to anticipate how candidate actions may alter object configurations, contact states, and scene geometry before physical execution. This survey examines world models for robotic manipulation as action‐conditioned predictive systems and organizes the literature according to predicted representations, interfaces between ...

Paradigm transition in cosmic plasma physics
During the 1970's in situ measurements in the magnetospheres, including the solar wind region ("solar magnetosphere") drastically changed our understanding of the properties of cosmic plasmas. Further, we have learned how to generalize results from plasma investigations in one region to other regions.

Can a good death occur for those who balance on the edges of grievability? In Bali, where death marks a transition within the cycles of reincarnation, a good death depends on the mortuary care performed by intimate others – care that may be foreclosed to those whose lives are shaped by stigma.

Abstract This article investigates the symbolic politics of state‐led gentrification and heritagization, focusing on how these processes serve to ‘glorify’ state power. Drawing on Agamben's political theology, Bourdieu's notion of symbolic power and space, and political heritage studies, we argue that the symbolic politics of state glorification can ...

Very high energy cosmic gamma rays from radio and x-ray pulsars [PDF]
This thesis is concerned with the detection of very high energy cosmic gamma-rays from isolated pulsars and X-ray binary sources using the atmospheric Cerenkov technique. A general introduction to gamma ray detection techniques is followed by adscription

The Normative Turn: Back to Hobhouse?
ABSTRACT Supporters of a recently announced normative turn in sociology acknowledge that what they recommend is by no means entirely new. However, they have given little attention to an early precursor: the British sociologist Leonard Hobhouse. He focussed on the role of the normative in social life and insisted that sociology could, and must, play an ...

Cosmic ray physics with the ALICE detectors
ALICE is an experiment devoted to heavy ion physics at LHC. The underground location of the apparatus with 30m of overburden can be exploited for studying cosmic rays through the muons reaching the experiment.

Late Antique Allāh: Ancestral Arabian Religion and the Monotheistic Zeitgeist
ABSTRACT This essay addresses the ongoing scholarly tension between the monotheistic interpretations of late pre‐Islamic Arabian religion, pioneered by G. Hawting and P. Crone, and the traditional accounts of rampant Arabian polytheism found in later Islamic literary sources.
