Preprints come to life

Nanodevices come to life.

Has the time come for preprints in biology?

Preprints, non-peer-reviewed drafts of manuscripts available on the Internet, have been used in conjunction with peer review and publication in journals in the physical sciences for almost 25 years. Recently, more scientists have been discussing whether preprints can play a similar role in biological and biomedical research. Here, I discuss my excitement and concerns about the role that preprin...

Chromosome Segregation: Spindle Mechanics Come To Life

Chromosome segregation is a mechanical process, and the spindle generates, and is subject to, mechanical force. A recent study probes how the mechanical architecture of the spindle allows it to maintain mechanical integrity despite these forces.

Oberwolfach Preprints

In this paper we give non-trivial applications of the thermodynamic formalism to the theory of distribution functions of Gibbs measures (devil’s staircases) supported on limit sets of finitely generated conformal iterated function systems in R. For a large class of these Gibbs states we determine the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points at which the distribution function of these measures i...

Chemnitz Scientific Computing Preprints

We provide a unifying projection-based framework for structure-preserving interpo-latory model reduction of parameterized linear dynamical systems, i.e., systems having a structured dependence on parameters that we wish to retain in the reduced-order model. The parameter dependence may be linear or nonlinear and is retained in the reduced-order model. Moreover, we are able to give conditions un...
