Archaeological Chemistry

The application of chemistry within archaeology is an important and fascinating area. It allows the archaeologist to answer such questions as "what is this artefact made of?", "where did it come from?" and "how has it been changed through b...

Archaeology and Modernity

This is the first book-length study to explore the relationship between archaeology and modern thought, showing how philosophical ideas that developed in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries still dominate our approach to the material re...

Archaeological Semiotics

The Archaeology of Personhood

Bringing together a wealth of research in social and cultural anthropology, philosophy and related fields, this is the first book to address the contribution that an understanding of personhood can make to our interpretations of the past Ap...

Anthropology and Archaeology

Anthropolgy and Archaeology provides a valuable and much-needed introduction to the theories and methods of these two inter-related subjects. This volume covers the historical relationship and contemporary interests of archaeology and anthr...

Archaeology of Knowledge

In France, a country that awards its intellectuals the status other countries give their rock stars, Michel Foucault was part of a glittering generation of thinkers, one which also included Sartre, de Beauvoir and Deleuze. One of the great ...

A Companion to archaeology

Bintliff, John, ed., A Companion to Archaeology. Oxford: Blackwell Publishing, 2004. word archaeology conjures up images of people in pith helmets digging into the sandy earth of the desert or monumental buildings rising above jungle foliag...

Cladistics and archaeology

is a method used in biology and paleobiology to establish phylogeny: what produced what and in what order. It is a very specific method, developed in Germany in the 1950s and currently the primary phylogenetic method in the world. has also ...

Nationalism and Archaeology in Europe

Archaeologists from many different European countries here explore the very varied relationship between nationalistic ideas and archaeological activity through the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The resurgence of national...

Encyclopedia of archaeology

is a subject that fascinates us. From Egyptian tombs to a frozen Alpine wayfarer, from cities buried under volcanic ash to stone arrow heads turned up by the plow, archaeology is in the news and in our backyards. It is paradoxical that a su...

A Catalog of Filaments in the Central Molecular Zone

We present a catalog of 1.28 GHz radio filaments observed by MeerKAT over the innermost 200 pc of the Galaxy (roughly ±1 $\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}$ 5), which includes the central molecular zone. The catalog is generated by repur...

A Generic Formula and Some Special Cases for the Kullback–Leibler Divergence between Central Multivariate Cauchy Distributions

This paper introduces a closed-form expression for the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) between two central multivariate Cauchy distributions (MCDs) which have been recently used in different signal and image processing applications where ...

Making Preliminary GRBs Real-Time Astronomical Reports

We present a standalone software tool which makes reports for analysis and evaluation of GRBs. Recently, analysis and evaluation of GRBs were done without help of semiautomated tools or routines; so the time elapsed from the detection until...

Radiation-Driven Stellar Eruptions

Very massive stars occasionally expel material in colossal eruptions, driven by continuum radiation pressure rather than blast waves. Some of them rival supernovae in total radiative output, and the mass loss is crucial for subsequent evolu...

Core Scouring Dynamics and Gravitational Wave Consequences: Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binary Hardening

We present a multimessenger investigation of supermassive black hole binary (SBHB) hardening by jointly comparing models to the observed stellar mass deficits of nearby core galaxies and to nanohertz gravitational-wave background measuremen...

Measurement of the Y(1S) pair production cross section and search for resonances decaying to Y(1S)μ+μ− in proton-proton collisions at s=13TeV

The fiducial cross section for Y(1S) pair production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in the region where both Y(1S) mesons have an absolute rapidity below 2.0 is measured to be 79±11(stat)±6(syst)±3(B)pb ass...

Testing the Physical Parameter Constraining Power of HCN and HNC with Neural Networks

We quantify the utility of HCN and HNC to characterize gas conditions in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We use measurements from the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) Large Program ALCHEMI: the ALMA Comprehensive Hig...

Bayesian Nonparametric Modeling of Categorical Data for Information Fusion and Causal Inference

This paper presents a nonparametric regression model of categorical time series in the setting of conditional tensor factorization and Bayes network. The underlying algorithms are developed to provide a flexible and parsimonious representat...

A Decision Support Model for Hotel Recommendation Based on the Online Consumer Reviews Using Logarithmic Spherical Hesitant Fuzzy Information

Spherical hesitant fuzzy sets have recently become more popular in various fields. It was proposed as a generalization of picture hesitant fuzzy sets and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets in order to deal with uncertainty and fuzziness inform...

Preventing Posterior Collapse with DVAE for Text Modeling

This paper introduces a novel variational autoencoder model termed DVAE to prevent posterior collapse in text modeling. DVAE employs a dual-path architecture within its decoder: path A and path B. Path A makes the direct input of text insta...
