Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems
MA Munoz - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

Clogging of noncohesive suspension flows
When flowing through narrow channels or constrictions, many-body systems exhibit various
flowing patterns, yet they can also get stuck. In many of these systems, the flowing elements …

Universal features of correlated bursty behaviour
Inhomogeneous temporal processes, like those appearing in human communications,
neuron spike trains and seismic signals, consist of high-activity bursty intervals alternating …

Statistical similarity between the compression of a porous material and earthquakes
It has long been stated that there are profound analogies between fracture experiments and
earthquakes; however, few works attempt a complete characterization of the parallels …

Collective behavior of earthquakes and faults: Continuum‐discrete transitions, progressive evolutionary changes, and different dynamic regimes
Y Ben‐Zion - Reviews of Geophysics, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Crustal deformation patterns are affected by multiscale granulation and healing processes
associated with phase transitions between continuum and discrete states of rocks. The …

Statistical physics approach to earthquake occurrence and forecasting
There is striking evidence that the dynamics of the Earth crust is controlled by a wide variety
of mutually dependent mechanisms acting at different spatial and temporal scales. The …
