Emerging trends in peer review - a survey

John Richard Walker

Classical peer review has been subject to intense criticism for slowing down the publication process, bias against specific categories of paper and author, unreliability, inability to detect errors and fraud, unethical practices, and the lack of recognitio ...

On The Image Of The Almost Strict Morse N-Category Under Almost Strict N-Functors

In an earlier work, we constructed the almost strict Morse n-category X which extends Cohen Sz Jones Sz Segal's flow category. In this article, we define two other almost strict n-categories V and W where V is based on homomorphisms between real vector spa ...

Hermitian Categories, Extension Of Scalars And Systems Of Sesquilinear Forms

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Daniel Arnold Moldovan

We prove that the category of systems of sesquilinear forms over a given hermitian category is equivalent to the category of unimodular 1-hermitian forms over another hermitian category. The sesquilinear forms are not required to be unimodular or defined o ...

HIGHER MORSE MODULI SPACES AND n-CATEGORIES

We generalize Cohen & Jones & Segal's flow category, whose objects are the critical points of a Morse function and whose morphisms are the Morse moduli spaces between the critical points to an n-category. The n-category construction involves repeatedly doi ...

Creativity without critique: An inquiry into the aesthetization of the alternative culture

Luca Giovanni Pattaroni, Yves Pedrazzini, Mischa-Sébastien Piraud, Letícia Cabeçadas Do Carmo

The category of “creative city” is far from neutral. Indeed, it can be linked to very contrasted – and even opposed – practices and urban worlds. In order to grasp those differences, we need to take a closer look at what is entailed in the concepts of “cre ...

Tensors, Monads And Actions

Gavin Jay Seal

We exhibit sufficient conditions for a monoidal monad T on a monoidal category C to induce a monoidal structure on the Eilenberg-Moore category C^T that represents bimorphisms. The category of actions in C^T is then shown to be monadic over the base catego ...

Parametrized K-theory

Nicolas Mathieu Michel

In nature, one observes that a K-theory of an object is defined in two steps. First a “structured” category is associated to the object. Second, a K-theory machine is applied to the latter category that produces an infinite loop space. We develop a general ...

Flexible and Robust Multilayer Micro-Vibrational Harvesters for High Acceleration Environments

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Andres Felipe Vasquez Quintero, Pattanaphong Janphuang, Robert Andrew Lockhart

This paper presents the fabrication and characterization of multilayer PVDF resonant micro-vibrational energy harvesters designed to withstand environments in which high levels of acceleration are present. The multilayer cantilevers are fabricated by combi ...

Normal and conormal maps in homotopy theory

Kathryn Hess Bellwald

Let M be a monoidal category endowed with a distinguished class of weak equivalences and with appropriately compatible classifying bundles for monoids and comonoids. We define and study homotopy-invariant notions of normality for maps of monoids and of con ...

Admittance Matrix of a Trapezoidal Piezoelectric Heterogeneous Bimorph

Paul Muralt

Bimorph structures are a standard method for transforming the high force of piezoelectric materials into a large deflection. In micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) applications, it is preferable to use structures consisting of a passive substrate (usual ...
