Predicting the failure of two-dimensional silica glasses

Francesc Font-Clos, Marco Zanchi, Stefan Hiemer +4

Being able to predict the failure of materials based on structural information is a fundamental issue with enormous practical and industrial relevance for the monitoring of devices…

Chromatin and cytoskeletal tethering determine nuclear morphology in progerin expressing cells

M. C. Lionetti, S. Bonfanti, M. R. Fumagalli +6

The nuclear morphology of eukaryotic cells is determined by the interplay between the lamina forming the nuclear skeleton, the chromatin inside the nucleus and the coupling with th…

Automatic Design of Mechanical Metamaterial Actuators

Silvia Bonfanti, Roberto Guerra, Francesc Font Clos +2

Mechanical metamaterials actuators achieve pre-determined input--output operations exploiting architectural features encoded within a single 3D printed element, thus removing the n…

A standardized Project Gutenberg corpus for statistical analysis of natural language and quantitative linguistics

Martin Gerlach, Francesc Font-Clos

The use of Project Gutenberg (PG) as a text corpus has been extremely popular in statistical analysis of language for more than 25 years. However, in contrast to other major lingui…

Dependence of exponents on text length versus finite-size scaling for word-frequency distributions

Alvaro Corral, Francesc Font-Clos

Some authors have recently argued that a finite-size scaling law for the text-length dependence of word-frequency distributions cannot be conceptually valid. Here we give solid qua…

Phase transition, scaling of moments, and order-parameter distributions in Brownian particles and branching processes with finite-size effects

Alvaro Corral, Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Nicholas R. Moloney +1

We revisit the problem of Brownian diffusion with drift in order to study finite-size effects in the geometric Galton-Watson branching process. This is possible because of an exact…
