Instrumentation of the Säntis Tower for Lightning Current Measurement

In this thesis, a new experimental station was designed and built for the measurement of lightning currents. The station (Säntis Tower) was instrumented using advanced and modern equipment with remote monitoring for an accurate measurement of lightning cur ...

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 ...

Homotopic Descent over Monoidal Model Categories

The starting point for this project is the article of Kathryn Hess [11]. In this article, a homotopic version of monadic descent is developed. In the classical setting, one constructs a category D(𝕋) of coalgebras in the Eilenberg-Moore category of ...

Feedback Linearizability and Flatness in Restricted Control Systems

Philippe Müllhaupt, Basile Graf

The loss of feedback linearizability of control systems is studied when restricted to a submanifold of the state-space. The slow approximation of singularly perturbed systems also falls into this category. We show that even if the static-feedback lineariza ...

Catégories simpliciales enrichies et K-théorie de Waldhausen

Ilias Amrani

This thesis, which presents a new approach to the algebraic K-theory, is divided into two parts. The first one is devoted to the category of small simplicial categories. First, we construct a new model structure on sCat = [Δop,Cat] which is called the diag ...

Tuning Mechanisms in Optofluidics

Demetri Psaltis, Wuzhou Song, Jae-Woo Choi

Novel functionalities have been developed through the fusion of optics and microfluidics. We categorize the different possible tuning mechanisms in optofluidics and describe the recent examples in each category. (C)2010 Optical Society of America ...

Categorical Foundations for K-theory

Nicolas Mathieu Michel

K-Theory was originally defined by Grothendieck as a contravariant functor from a subcategory of schemes to abelian groups, known today as K0. The same kind of construction was then applied to other fields of mathematics, like spaces and (not necessarily c ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields at Very Close Distances Associated with Lightning Strikes to the Gaisberg Tower

Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Pierre Zweiacker, Abdolhamid Shoory, Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi

In this paper we present and discuss measurements of electric (vertical and radial) and magnetic fields from leaders and return strokes associated with lightning strikes to the 100 m tall Gaisberg tower in Austria obtained in 2007 and 2008. The fields were ...

Coalgèbres d'Alexander-Whitney

Théophile Naïto

The goal of this work is to study Alexander-Whitney coalgebras (first defined in [HPST06]) from a topological point of view. An Alexander-Whitney coalgebra is a coassociative chain coalgebra over Z with an extra algebraic structure : the comultiplication m ...

Analytical Expressions for Zero-Crossing Times in Lightning Return-Stroke Engineering Models

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory

One of the characteristic features of the electromagnetic fields radiated by lightning is the far-field inversion of polarity with a zero-crossing occurring in the tens of microseconds range. This feature has been used in several studies to test the abilit ...
