Anxious Projections: Mass Hysteria and the Problem of Interpretation

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, Volume 39, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Stories of “mass hysteria” among teenage girls have often graced the headlines of Nepal's local and national newspapers, creating a public spectacle of a strange and mysterious form of affliction. Treatments include both shamanic rituals and psychosocial interventions, a new therapeutic modality that has gained prominence over the past two ...

From modality to millianism

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 851-872, December 2025.
Abstract A new argument is offered which proceeds through epistemic possibility (for all S knows, p), cutting a trail from modality to Millianism, the controversial thesis that the semantic content of a proper name is simply its bearer. New definitions are provided for various epistemic modal notions.

The Phase Structure of the ISM in Galaxies [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2009
AbstractDiffuse gas in the Galaxy is observed to exist as cold (T ~ 100 K) neutral atomic gas (CNM) and warm neutral atomic (T ~ 8000 K) gas (WNM). In addition to these “thermal” phases, gas can also exist as warm (T ~ 8000 K) ionized gas, cold (T ~ 10 K) molecular gas and in warm (T ~ 100 - 500 K) interface regions or Photodissociation Regions (PDRs ...

Simulations and modelling of the ISM in galaxies

, 2012
The latest observations of molecular gas and the atomic hydrogen content of local and high-redshift galaxies, coupled with how these correlate with star formation activity, have revolutionized our ideas about how to model star formation in a galactic context.

Star formation and the ISM in infrared bright galaxies - SHINING

EAS Publications Series, 2011
The Herschel Key Project SHINING performs a study of the ISM in star forming and active infrared bright galaxies (starbursts, AGN, (U)LIRGs, interacting and low metallicity galaxies) at local and intermediate redshifts. Here we present some surprising and promising first results from parts of this programme, including spatially resolved PDR diagnostics,

Star Formation and the ISM in Dwarf Galaxies

, 2000
High spatial and spectral resolution observations of the atomic interstellar medium in nearby dwarf galaxies reveal evidence for warm and cold neutral gas, just like the phases in our own Galaxy. The cold or quiescent phase (about 20% of the HI in the galaxies studied, except for LGS 3) seems to be associated with star formation activity--- it may mark

HI absorption and the ISM around radio galaxies

, 2000
We present a study, done with the Australian LBA, of HI absorption for two compact radio galaxies (PKS 1549-79 and PKS 1814-63). In both the radio galaxies, the HI appears to give us information about the environment in which the radio sources are embedded, the effect that the ISM can have on the observed characteristics and the possible presence of ...

ISM Abundances in Sculptor Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxies

, 2002
Using the CTIO 4-m telescope, we have obtained optical spectra of HII regions in five Sculptor Group dwarf irregular galaxies. We derive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur abundances from the HII region spectra. Oxygen abundances are derived via three different methods (the ``direct'' method, the empirical method guided by photoionization modeling of McGaugh
