Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Organized Forest-Fires Near the Critical Time
van den Rob Berg,Rachel Brouwer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a forest fire model where each site (vertex) of the square lattice is either vacant or occupied by a tree and each site is hit by lightning at rate λ, which instantaneously destroys (makes vacant) the occupied cluster of the site.

Sleep unconsciousness and breakdown of serial critical intermittency: New vistas on the global workspace
Paolo Allegrini,Paolo Paradisi,Danilo Menicucci,Marco Laurino,Remo Bedini,Andrea Piarulli,Angelo Gemignani,Angelo Gemignani +7 more
TL;DR: In NREM sleep seriality breaks down, and re-establishes during REM sleep (dreams), with unaltered spacial structure, in terms of complex branching of avalanches, conjecture that this connectivity is exploited in NREMSleep by neural bistability, resetting and “parallelizing” portions of the cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Solar Flares by Data Assimilation in Avalanche Models. I. Model Design and Validation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the 4D-VAR technique to the prediction of solar flares, in the context of a continuous version of the classical cellular-automaton-based self-organized critical avalanche models introduced by Lu and Hamilton (Astrophys. J.380, L89, 1991).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonequilibrium dynamics of social groups: insights from foraging Argentine ants
Julianne D. Halley,Martin Burd +1 more
TL;DR: Although these disturbances reduce food collection because feeding ants are interrupted, they are minimal and may enable ant groups to balance collectively the advantage of rapid alarm communication with the costs of interrupted foraging from trivial disturbances.
