Scaling Phenomena in the Growth Dynamics of Scientific Output
Kaushik Matia, Luis A. Nunes Amaral, Marc Luwel +2
We analyze a set of three databases at different levels of aggregation (i) a database of approximately publications of 247 countries in the period between 1980--2001. (ii) A…
Universal Mechanisms in the Growth of Voluntary Organizations
Fredrik Liljeros, Luis A Nunes Amaral, H. Eugene Stanley
We analyze the growth statistics of Swedish trade unions and find a universal functional form for the probability distribution of growth rates of union size, and a power law depend…
Distributions of number of sexual partnerships have power law decaying tails and finite variance
Fredrik Liljeros, Christofer R. Edling, H. Eugene Stanley +2
In a recent paper, James Holland Jones and Mark Handcock re-analyze two of the four datasets comprising a database, first analyzed by us, which records the number of distinct sexua…

Small-world networks are the focus of recent interest because they appear to circumvent many of the limitations of either random networks or regular lattices as frameworks for the…
Avalanches and the Directed Percolation Depinning Model: Experiments, Simulations and Theory
L. A. N. Amaral, A. -L. Barabasi, S. V. Buldyrev +4
We study the recently-introduced directed percolation depinning (DPD) model for interface roughening with quenched disorder for which the interface becomes pinned by a directed per…
