Robustness of sentence length measures in written texts
Denner S. Vieira, Sergio Picoli, Renio S. Mendes
Hidden structural patterns in written texts have been subject of considerable research in the last decades. In particular, mapping a text into a time series of sentence lengths is…
Analogies between the cracking noise of ethanol-dampened charcoal and earthquakes
H. V. Ribeiro, L. S. Costa, L. G. A. Alves +4
We report on an extensive characterization of the cracking noise produced by charcoal samples when dampened with ethanol. We argue that the evaporation of ethanol causes transient…
Scaling laws and universality in the choice of election candidates
M. C. Mantovani, H. V. Ribeiro, M. V. Moro +2
Nowadays there is an increasing interest of physicists in finding regularities related to social phenomena. This interest is clearly motivated by applications that a statistical me…
Earthquake-like patterns of acoustic emission in crumpled plastic sheets
R. S. Mendes, L. C. Malacarne, R. P. B. Santos +2
We report remarkable similarities in the output signal of two distinct out-of- equilibrium physical systems - earthquakes and the intermittent acoustic noise emitted by crum- pled…
Dynamics of tournaments: the soccer case
H. V. Ribeiro, R. S. Mendes, L. C. Malacarne +2
A random walk-like model is considered to discuss statistical aspects of tournaments. The model is applied to soccer leagues with emphasis on the scores. This competitive system wa…
An Improved Description of the Dielectric Breakdown in Oxides Based on a Generalized Weibull distribution
U. M. S. Costa, V. N. Freire, L. C. Malacarne +4
In this work, we address modal parameter fluctuations in statistical distributions describing charge-to-breakdown and/or time-to-breakdown during the dielectr…
