Czy Bóg to Gadzio? Religijność i konwersje polskich Romów w perspektywie elastycznych epistemologii romskości by Garapich, Michał P.

“…Following the relational approach of Frederik Barth, Michael Stewart and participatory ethnography of Paloma Gay y Blasco, the article proposes an ethnographically grounded interpretation of new forms of religiosity among Polish Roma emphasizing individual agency, creativity and the so called by Marco Solimene and Stefanii Pontrandolfo flexible epistemologies, through which we can better grasp overall social changes in Poland. English language title: Is God a gadjo? …”

High cycle fatigue behavior of 316L stainless steel manufactured via directed energy deposition with varying laser energy by Boey, Kai Jun

“…Results have shown that volume fraction of porosity reduces monotonously with increasing laser energy, accompanied by a transition in porosity category from lack of fusion defects to gas-entrapped porosity. Rotating bending fatigue (RBF) tests were performed on all these blocks to explore high cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of samples containing different microstructures. …”

Perspective: bonding and electronic origin of Au atomic-undercoordination-derivacy and nanoscale-size-dependency by Sun, Changqing

“…Systematic analysis of the electron emission spectra of XPS and STM/S of the undercoordinated gold atoms revealed that the 4f and 5d bands undergo quantum entrapment while the 6s level is subject to localization and polarization because of the undercoordination-induced local bond contraction and bond strength gain – named bond order-length-strength correlation and nonbonding electron polarization (BOLS-NEP). …”

Tac2Pose: Tactile object pose estimation from the first touch by Bauza, Maria, Bronars, Antonia, Rodriguez, Alberto

“…This suggests synergistic use of Tac2Pose with additional sensing modalities (e.g., vision) even in cases where the tactile observation from a grasp is not sufficiently discriminative. Given a coarse estimate of an object’s pose, even ambiguous contacts can be used to determine an object’s pose precisely. …”
