Identifying and modeling patterns oftetrapod vertebrate mortality rates in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill

The accidental oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 has caused perceptible damage to marine and freshwater ecosystems. The large quantity of oil leaking at a constant rate and the long duration of the event caused an exponentially increasing …

Finite-size effect on the surface deformation thermal mirror method

The finite-size effect on the thermal mirror (TM) experiments is described. The time-resolved thermoelastic deformation equation is solved and compared to the semi-infinite solution. To determine the applicability of the semi-infinite model, …

Anomalous diffusion in a symbolic model

In this work, we investigate some statistical properties of symbolic sequences generated by a numerical procedure in which the symbols are repeated following the power-law probability density. In this analysis, we consider that the sum of n symbols …

Comparison of Impedance Spectroscopy Expressions and Responses of Alternate Anomalous Poisson-Nernst-Planck Diffusion Equations for Finite-Length Situations

Two empirical, but plausible, previously published independent generalizations of the standard Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) continuum illusion model for mobile-charge conduction in liquids and solids are discussed, their responses are compared, and …

Spreading Patterns of the Influenza A (H1N1) Pandemic

We investigate the dynamics of the 2009 influenza A (H1N1/S-OIV) pandemic by analyzing data obtained from World Health Organization containing the total number of laboratory-confirmed cases of infections - by country - in a period of 69 days, from 26 …

Solutions for a diffusion equation with a backbone term

We investigate the diffusion equation subjected to the boundary conditions ρ(±∞, y;t) = 0 and ρ(x,±∞;t) = 0, and the initial condition ρ(x, y; 0) = ρ(x, y). We obtain exact solutions in terms of the Green function approach and analyze the mean square …

The soundscape dynamics of human agglomeration

We report on a statistical analysis of the people agglomeration soundscape. Specifically, we investigate the normalized sound amplitudes and intensities that emerge from human collective meetings. Our findings support the existence of non-trivial …

On the dynamics of bubbles in boiling water

We investigate the dynamics of many interacting bubbles in boiling water by using a laser scattering experiment. Specifically, we analyze the temporal variations of a laser intensity signal which passed through a sample of boiling water. Our empirical …

Universal patterns in sound amplitudes of songs and music genres

We report a statistical analysis of more than eight thousand songs. Specifically, we investigated the probability distribution of the normalized sound amplitudes. Our findings suggest a universal form of distribution that agrees well with a …

Some results for an N-dimensional nonlinear diffusion equation with radial symmetry

The solutions of a nonlinear diffusion equation by considering the radially symmetric N-dimensional case are investigated. This equation has the nonlinearity present in the diffusive term and external force. The solutions are obtained by using a …
