Revisiting the implications of Liouville's theorem to the anisotropy of cosmic rays
Cainã de Oliveira, Leonardo Paulo Maia, Vitor de Souza
We present a solution to Liouville's equation for an ensemble of charged particles propagating in magnetic fields. The solution is presented using an expansion in spherical harmoni…
A simple individual-based population growth model with limited resources
Luis R. T. Neves, Leonardo Paulo Maia
We address a novel approach for stochastic individual-based modelling of a single species population. Individuals are distinguished by their remaining lifetimes, which are regulate…
Automated pulse discrimination of two freely-swimming weakly electric fish and analysis of their electrical behavior during a dominance contest
Rafael Tuma Guariento, Thiago Schiavo Mosqueiro, Paulo Matias +5
Electric fishes modulate their electric organ discharges with a remarkable variability. Some patterns can be easily identified, such as pulse rate changes, offs and chirps, which a…
Optimal Channel Efficiency in a Sensory Network
Thiago S. Mosqueiro, Leonardo P. Maia
We show that the entropy of the distribution of avalanche lifetimes in the Kinouchi-Copelli model always achieves a maximum jointly with the dynamic range. This is noteworthy and n…
Dynamical aspects of Kinouchi-Copelli model: emergence of avalanches at criticality
T. S. Mosqueiro, C. Akimushkin, L. P. Maia
We analyze the behavior of bursts of neural activity in the Kinouchi-Copelli model, originally conceived to explain information processing issues in sensory systems. We show that,…
Analytical results on the Muller's ratchet effect in growing populations
Leonardo P Maia
Fontanari et al introduced [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 218101 (2003)] a model for studying the Muller's ratchet phenomenon in growing asexual populations. They studied two situations, ei…
