The association between productivity and impact of scientific production is a long-standing debate in science that remains controversial and poorly understood. Here we present a large-scale analysis of the association between yearly publication …
Since Bandt and Pompe’s seminal work, permutation entropy has been used in several applications and is now an essential tool for time series analysis. Beyond becoming a popular and successful technique, permutation entropy inspired a framework for …
Aim Range size conservatism suggests that closely‐related species maintain geographic ranges of similar extent. However, consensus regarding this suggestion has not been reached. To shed more light on this phenomenon, we studied freshwater plant …
Urban scaling and Zipf's law are two fundamental paradigms for the science of cities. These laws have mostly been investigated independently and are often perceived as disassociated matters. Here we present a large scale investigation about the …
Summarized by the efficient market hypothesis, the idea that stock prices fully reflect all available information is always confronted with the behavior of real-world markets. While there is plenty of evidence indicating and quantifying the …
An increasing abstraction has marked some recent investigations in network science. Examples include the development of algorithms that map time series data into networks whose vertices and edges can have different interpretations, beyond the …
The urban scaling hypothesis has improved our understanding of cities; however, rural areas have been neglected. We investigated rural-urban population density scaling in England and Wales using 67 indicators of crime, mortality, property, and age. …
The current outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an unprecedented example of how fast an infectious disease can spread around the globe (especially in urban areas) and the enormous impact it causes on public health and …
Diffusion processes occurring in a myriad of systems sparkle great interest in understanding their general properties and applications. In this work, we investigate a broad set of diffusive systems that can be governed by a generalized diffusion …
We present an analytical treatment of anomalous diffusion in a three-dimensional comb (xyz-comb) by using the Green's function approach. We derive exact analytical solutions for the propagators for an instantaneous point injection and natural …
