Evidence for complex, collective dynamics and emergent, distributed computation in plants

TL;DR: Using sequences of chlorophyll fluorescence images from leaves of Xanthium strumarium L. (cocklebur), spatial and temporal correlations in stomatal dynamics are quantified and are consistent with the proposition that a plant solves its optimal gas exchange problem through an emergent, distributed computation performed by its leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of activity in human dynamics

TL;DR: A systematic empirical exploration of the time between two consecutive ratings of movies (the interevent time) is presented, finding a monotonous relation between the activity of individuals and the power law exponent of the intereven time distribution.

A review of shear wave splitting in the crack-critical crust

TL;DR: In the last 15 years, it has become established that crack-induced stress-aligned shear wave splitting, with azimuthal anisotropy, is an inherent characteristic of almost all rocks in the crust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breakdown of avalanche critical behaviour in polycrystalline plasticity

TL;DR: It is shown that polycrystalline plasticity is also characterized by intermittency and dislocation avalanches, and the restraint of large avalanches builds up internal stresses that push temporally the dynamical system into a supercritical state, off the scale-invariant critical regime, and trigger secondary avalanches in neighbouring grains.

Subsampling effects in neuronal avalanche distributions recorded in vivo

TL;DR: Since subsampling can prevent the observation of the characteristic power law and sigma in SOC systems, misclassifications of critical systems as sub- or supercritical are possible, the system specific scaling of f(s) and s Sigma under subsampled conditions may prove useful to select physiologically motivated models of brain function.
