A Two-Threshold Model for Scaling Laws of Non-Interacting Snow Avalanches

, 2004
The sizes of snow slab failure that trigger snow avalanches are power-law distributed. Such a power-law probability distribution function has also been proposed to characterize different landslide types.

Coalescence Avalanches in Liquid Aluminum Foams

Metals, 2017
Coalescence is the rupture of a film between two adjacent bubbles in any type of liquid foam and has pronounced influence on the development of its macrostructure after solidification, mostly leading to larger pores and a wider size distribution ...

Fine Structure of Avalanches in the Abelian Sandpile Model

, 2008
We study the two-dimensional Abelian Sandpile Model on a square lattice of linear size L. We introduce the notion of avalanche's fine structure and compare the behavior of avalanches and waves of toppling.

Neuronal avalanches differ from wakefulness to deep sleep - evidence from intracranial depth recordings in humans [PDF]

, 2013
Neuronal activity differs between wakefulness and sleep states. In contrast, an attractor state, called self-organized critical (SOC), was proposed to govern brain dynamics because it allows for optimal information coding.

Temporal and Spatial Geophysical Data Analysis in the Issues of Natural Hazards and Risk Assessment (in Example of North Ossetia, Russia)

Applied Sciences, 2022
The paper considers the aspects of hazard assessment within the framework of a generalized approach. The aim of the study is to improve the methodology for more accurate and detailed probabilistic assessments of risks of various nature.

Ising Dynamics with Damping

, 2007
We show for the Ising model that is possible construct a discrete time stochastic model analogous to the Langevin equation that incorporates an arbitrary amount of damping.

A Bethe lattice representation for sandpiles

, 1998
Avalanches in sandpiles are represented throughout a process of percolation in a Bethe lattice with a feedback mechanism. The results indicate that the frequency spectrum and probability distribution of avalanches resemble more to experimental results ...

The effect of thresholding on temporal avalanche statistics

, 2008
We discuss intermittent time series consisting of discrete bursts or avalanches separated by waiting or silent times. The short time correlations can be understood to follow from the properties of individual avalanches, while longer time correlations ...
