Posidonius' Cosmology

open access: yesPerspectiva Filosófica, 2020
Posidonius incorporated important concepts of Peripatetic physics into his system. Posidonius adopted a finitist cosmological model where the extra- cosmic void was not infinite but just as large as the cosmos’ size at the time of the conflagration (F 84/97a E ̶ K).

When Humans Need Gods and Gods Need Humans: Prophetic Authority and Ritual Negotiation in Himachal Pradesh

open access: yesAmerican Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Himachal Pradesh, India, village deities act as political figures who play an active role in communal affairs, especially during periods of social change. Bakhan, an annual divination ritual in which these deities speak through human mediums, is a public event that offers forecasts and instructions. I argue that the bakhan is a social arena

Constraining on the non-standard cosmological models combining the observations of high-redshift quasars and BAO

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In this work, we studied four types of cosmological models with different mechanisms driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, include Braneworld models, Chaplygin Gas models, Emergent Dark Energy models, and cosmological torsion models ...

Monsters of finance

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, EarlyView.
Abstract An anthropology of horror can serve as a vernacular critique of financial speculation. Drawing on fieldwork in San Pedro, Paraguay, I track horror across three registers: pombero tricksters; plata yvyguy (buried money) as a founding myth of postwar finance; and obligations binding sesame farmers to monsters, patrones, and creditors.

Timing the Sacred: A Multi‐Step Chronological Framework for the Llullaillaco Inca Burial

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Absolute radiocarbon dating offers high precision, but its application to historical contexts, such as the Inca civilization, requires a rigorous methodological approach. This research examines methods to enhance chronological accuracy through a case study of artifacts from the Llullaillaco Capacocha sacrifice.

Geomagnetic Intensity of Hellenistic Pottery and Stamped Rhodian Wine Amphorae From Jerusalem

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stamped amphora handles produced on Rhodes during the Hellenistic period are well suited for archaeointensity studies because they often bear the names of annually appointed magistrates (eponyms) and fabricants, allowing dating to narrow time intervals.

Topology‐based Visual Analysis of Hydrothermal Plumes

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydrothermal plumes are turbulent structures of intense heat and mineral smoke that rise and disperse into the deep ocean. Existing models generally characterize these systems as a single axisymmetric plume originating from a point source. However, this assumption breaks down in weakly venting, spatially distributed systems, where low‐flux ...

Scalable Computation of Topological Abstractions for Scalar Data

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Topological data analysis has become an important tool for large scale scalar data analysis and visualization, efficiently extracting the inherent structure and features of interest of the data. However, with growing dataset sizes and complexity, it is increasingly becoming infeasible to compute topological abstractions of interest in serial ...

Un/Learning Adult Frames of Reference in Death Enquiries: Thinking~With a Picturebook, Philosophical Animism and Ontological Tact

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developmental psychology continues to shape how adults engage with children about death and dying. This influences whether children are included in rituals surrounding human and other‐than‐human bodies. Figurations of the innocent, immature and vulnerable child still dominate adult imaginaries of young children's understandings of mortality ...
