TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the case of Bologna, northern Italy, about how much higher street centrality statistically "determines" a higher presence of activities (shops and services).

TL;DR: A quantitative framework is developed to extract significant dependencies among scientific disciplines and turn them into a time-varying network whose nodes are the different fields, while the weighted links represent the flow of knowledge from one field to another at a given period of time.

TL;DR: It is found that the collision Au+Au at an incident energy of 35 MeV/nucleon shows a critical behavior at peripheral impact parameters, revealed through the analysis of conditional moments of charge distributions, Campi scatter plot, and the occurrence of large fluctuations in the region of the Campi plot where this critical behavior is expected.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the Boltzmann-gibbs-Shannon entropy is not appropriate for the edge-of-chaos case, and instead, the non-extensive entropy (S_q\equiv \frac{1-\sum{i=1}^W p_i^q}{q-1}$ must be used.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the careers of actors and identify a "rich-get-richer" mechanism with respect to productivity, the emergence of hot streaks and the presence of gender bias, and are able to predict whether the most productive year of an actor is yet to come.
