A power-law distribution for tenure lengths of sports managers
TL;DR: The authors showed that the tenure lengths for managers of sport teams follow a power law distribution with an exponent between 2 and 3, and developed a simple theoretical model which replicates this result, showing that the empirical phenomenon can be understood as the macroscopic outcome of pairwise interactions among managers in a league, threshold effects in managerial performance evaluation, competitive market forces, and luck at the microscopic level.

Scaling properties of the runoff variations in the arid and semi-arid regions of China: a case study of the Yellow River basin
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors analyzed long daily runoff series at six hydrological stations located along the mainstem Yellow River basin by using power spectra analysis and multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) technique with aim to deeply understand the scaling properties of the hydrologogical series.
Journal ArticleDOI
On a species survival model
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided some sharp asymptotic results for a stochastic model of species survival proposed by Guiol, Machado, and Schinazi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-organized random walks and stochastic sandpile: from linear to branched avalanches
TL;DR: In this paper, a branchless Polya random walk is used to model self-organized criticality unstable sites discharge to just one of their neighbours, and the scaling properties of these random walks can be derived exactly.

Time-energy correlations in solar flare occurrence
TL;DR: The existence of time-energy correlations in flare occurrence is still an open and much debated problem as discussed by the authors, and the question whether statistically significant correlations are present between energies of successive flares as well as energies and waiting times.
