The Not‐So‐Neue Frau: Weimar Berlin's Modern Women and Generational Identity After 1945

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article studies the post‐1945 literary careers of Gabriele Tergit and Ilse Langner, two ageing German writers. Both had enjoyed promising careers as young women in Weimar Berlin, but Nazism and war disrupted their professional trajectories in varying ways. After 1945, they tried and failed to recapture their Weimar‐era success, eventually

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Making Mining Licit: Gold, Commodification, and the Everyday Performance of Law in Colombia

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ethnographies of resource‐making have shown that the extraction of resource value from objects is premised on obviating the emplaced lifeworlds that surrounded objects before they traveled to consumer markets. Much of this literature looks at such supply‐chain disentanglement from the viewpoint of corporate and formal regulatory practices ...

Mixed Super‐Circles

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We introduce mixed super‐circles, a position‐curvature formulation of the original dynamic 2D super‐helix model. Compared to the latter, purely curvature‐based model – the so‐called chained formulation –, the mixed formulation that we propose here drastically reduces the algorithmic complexity of the solving scheme – from quadratic to quasi ...

Tactile Perception of 3D‐Printed Typodont Materials in Dental Education: A Systematic Review

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adoption of additive manufacture of printed typodonts within dentistry for education occurs despite inadequate reproduction of desirable tactile characteristics of human tooth tissues. Variable findings regarding material properties and educational outcomes of 3D‐printed typodonts are reported.
