From mobilization to revolution
El reciente fallecimiento del sociólogo e historiador Charles Tilly (Lombard, Illinois, 1929-Bronx, Nueva York, 2008) puede servir de pretexto para rememorar una trayectoria investigadora sin duda excepcional, plasmada a lo largo de medio siglo en más de

The preregistration revolution
Progress in science relies in part on generating hypotheses with existing observations and testing hypotheses with new observations. This distinction between postdiction and prediction is appreciated conceptually but is not respected in practice ...

Surfaces of revolution of frontals in the Euclidean space [PDF]
For Legendre curves, we consider surfaces of revolution of frontals. The surface of revolution of a frontal can be considered as a framed base surface. We give the curvatures and basic invariants for surfaces of revolution by using the curvatures of Legendre curves. Moreover, we give properties of surfaces of revolution with singularities and cones.

Generalized von Mangoldt surfaces of revolution and asymmetric two-spheres of revolution with simple cut locus structure [PDF]
It was known that if the Gaussian curvature function along each meridian on a surface of revolution $(R^2, dr^2+m(r)^2d\theta^2)$ is decreasing, then the cut locus of each point of $\theta^{-1}(0)$ is empty or a subarc of the opposite meridian $\theta^{-1}(\pi).$ Such a surface is called a von Mangoldt's surface of revolution. A surface of revolution $(

Four revolutions in physics and the second quantum revolution -- a unification of force and matter by quantum information [PDF]
Newton's mechanical revolution unifies the motion of planets in the sky and falling of apple on earth. Maxwell's electromagnetic revolution unifies electricity, magnetism, and light. Einstein's relativity revolution unifies space with time, and gravity with space-time distortion.
