The metabolic origins of big size in aquatic mammals
William Roberto Luiz S. Pereira, Fabiano L. Ribeiro
The group of large aquatic mammals has representatives being the largest living beings on earth, surpassing the weight and size of dinosaurs. In this paper, we present some empiric…
Zipf's law and urban scaling: Hypotheses towards a Unified Urban Theory
Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Jose Lobo, Diego Rybski
We propose hypotheses describing the empirical finding of an association between the exponents of urban GDP scaling and Zipf's law for cities. These hypotheses represent various co…
A Gentle Introduction to Scaling Laws in Biological Systems
Fabiano L. Ribeiro, William R. L. S. Pereira
This paper investigates the role of size in biological organisms. More specifically, how the energy demand, expressed by the metabolic rate, changes according to the mass of an org…
Networks with Growth and Preferential Attachment: Modeling and Applications
Gabriel G. Piva, Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Angelica S. Mata
In this article we presented a brief study of the main network models with growth and preferential attachment. Such models are interesting because they present several characterist…
More from Less? Environmental Rebound Effects of City Size
Joao Meirelles, Fabiano Ribeiro, Gabriel Cury +1
Global sustainability relies on our capacity of understanding and guiding urban systems, and their metabolism, in an adequate way. It has been proposed that bigger and denser citie…
On the relation between Transversal and Longitudinal Scaling in Cities
Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Joao Meirelles, Vinicius M. Netto +2
Given that a group of cities follows a scaling law connecting urban population with socio-economic or infrastructural metrics (transversal scaling), should we expect that each city…
