Universal Behavior in a Generalized Model of Contagion
TL;DR: A general model of contagion is introduced which, by explicitly incorporating memory of past exposures to, for example, an infectious agent, rumor, or new product, includes the main features of existing contagion models and interpolates between them.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-examination of the "3/4-law" of Metabolism
TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling law of organismal metabolic rate with organismal mass was examined, and it was shown that for mammals, a possible breakdown in scaling for larger masses reflected in a systematic increase in the metabolic rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A generalized model of social and biological contagion.
TL;DR: A model of contagion that unifies and generalizes existing models of the spread of social influences and microorganismal infections is presented, finding that epidemics inevitably die out but may be surprisingly persistent when individuals possess memory.
