Keine zweite Basilika von ähnlichem Rang hat ihren frühchristlichen Raumeindruck bewahrt wie Santa Maria Maggiore. Trotz unterschiedlicher Erweiterungen und Restaurierungen respektierten die Bauherren über die Jahrhunderte den überlieferten Grundriss, der als Werk der Gottesmutter Maria gilt. Besonders sehenswert sind die Mosaiken des Triumphbogens mit der Darstellung der Kindheitsgeschichte Jesu, die Marienikone Salus Populi Romani und die prächtige Paulinische Kapelle.

This brief describes the coordinated control of groups of robots using only sensory input - and no direct external commands. Furthermore, each robot employs the same local strategy, i.e., there are no leaders, and the text also deals with decentralized control, allowing for cases in which no single robot can sense all the others.

One can get intuition for the problem from the natural world, for example, flocking birds.

How do they achieve and maintain their flying formation?

Recognizing their importance as the most basic coordination tasks for mobile robot networks, the...

The dull pain starts behind your eye, like it always does when you are stressed and overtired. You know that a migraine is developing, and start to wonder how you will manage this one. Grandma always told you to turn off the lights and apply hot compresses to your forehead. Your co-worker swears by her megadoses of Vitamin B Complex. You love the convenience of over-the-counter combination analgesics with caffeine. You have heard of prescription nasal sprays, pain killers classified as controlled substances, and even something about injectable bacterial toxins. There are as many choices for...

Distributed Coordination Theory for Robot Teams develops control algorithms to coordinate the motion of autonomous teams of robots in order to achieve some desired collective goal. It provides novel solutions to foundational coordination problems, including distributed algorithms to make quadrotor helicopters rendezvous and to make ground vehicles move in formation along circles or straight lines. The majority of the algorithms presented in this book can be implemented using on-board cameras.

The book begins with an introduction to coordination problems, such as rendezvous...

Fluent in Faith: the Gift of Mary McCormick shares the story of a remarkable, contemporary woman who, in 1968, with the blessing of the Milwaukee Archdiocesan Latin American Office, a then 56-year old widow, took her three youngest daughters, ages 11, 14 and 17, and moved to Latin America for a year. She remained serving in Bogota until 1994. Marys life compels us to share it. It is no ordinary life. Yet Mary was an ordinary person who looked very common and lived simply. She embraced life with delightful Irish wit and an incredible trust in God. Mary never completely mastered the Spanish...

The book addresses the Catholic Church's cinema-related activity, focusing on the Italian case during the period between the 1930s and the 1960s. During these years, the Church played a central role in the political and cultural life of the country and, the cinema being a burgeoning medium at that time, Catholics engaged in a series of interventions aimed at fully and strategically exploiting its potential.
The publication of the encyclical Vigilanti Cura (1936), in which Pope Pius XI invited Catholics to influence film production not just through censorship, but also by becoming directly...
