Power-law Behavior of High Energy String Scatterings in Compact Spaces
, 709
"... Abstract. We calculate high energy massive scattering amplitudes of closed bosonic string compactified on the torus. We obtain infinite linear relations among high energy scattering amplitudes. For some kinematic regimes, we discover that some linear relations break down and, simultaneously, the amp ..."

, the amplitudes enhance to power-law behavior due to the space-time T-duality symmetry in the compact direction. This result is consistent with the coexistence of the linear relations and the softer exponential fall-off behavior of high energy string scattering amplitudes as we pointed out prevously. It is also
Do we have an acceptable model of power-law creep?
"... Three models of power-law creep are frequently presented. Those of Weertman assume distributed sources of dislocations which spread until they meet dislocations from other sources. They then annihilate by bulk diffusion. If the density of sources is independent of stress, a 9/2 power law follows, bu ..."

, with a probable power law of 5. However, the observations of Andrade and of Hanson, which may apply to the regime of power-law breakdown rather than power-law creep, strongly indicate that deformation is localized at the grain boundaries. If this is the case, existing theories of power-law creep based

Word co-occurrence networks are one of the most common linguistic networks studied in the past and they are known to exhibit several interesting topological characteristics. In this article, we investigate the global topological properties of word co-occurrence networks and, in particular, present a detailed study of their spectrum. Our experiments reveal certain universal trends found across the networks for seven different languages from three different language families, which are neither reported nor explained by any of the previous studies and models of word-cooccurrence networks. We hypothesize that since word co-occurrences are governed by syntactic properties of a language, the network has much constrained topology than that predicted by the previously proposed growth model. A deeper empirical and theoretical investigation into the evolution of these networks further suggests that they have a coreperiphery structure, where the core hardly evolves with time and new words are only attached to the periphery of the network. These properties are fundamental to the nature of word co-occurrence across languages. 1
Bounded fitness landscapes and the evolution of the linguistic diversity
, 2008
"... A simple spatial computer simulation model was recently introduced to study the evolution of the linguistic diversity [1]. The model considers processes of selective geographic colonization, linguistic anomalous diffusion and mutation. In the approach, we ascribe to each language a fitness function ..."

which depends on the number of people that speak that language. Here we extend the aforementioned model to examine the role of saturation of the fitness on the language dynamics. We found that the dependence of the linguistic diversity on the area after colonization displays a power law regime with a
Scaling of cluster mass between two lines in 3d percolation

Abstract We consider the cluster mass distribution between two lines of arbitrary orientations and lengths in porous media in three dimensions, and model the porous media by bond percolation at the percolation threshold pc. We observe that for many geometrical conÿgurations the mass probability dis ..."

Steady-State Creep of a-Zirconium at Temperatures up to 850 8C
"... Cumulative zirconium creep data over a broad range of stresses (0.1 to 115 MPa) and temperatures (300 8C to 850 8C) were analyzed based on an extensive literature review. Zirconium obeys traditional power-law creep with a stress exponent of approximately 6.4 over stain rates and temperatures usually ..."

usually associated with the conventional “five-power-law ” regime. Thus, dislocation climb, rather than the often assumed glide mechanism, may be rate controlling. Power-law breakdown occurs at values of «̇ss/D greater than approximately 109 cm22, consistent with most traditional five-power-law materials
The Spread of Opinions and Proportional Voting
, 2008
"... Election results are determined by numerous social factors that affect the formation of opinion of the voters, including the network of interactions between them and the dynamics of opinion influence. In this work we study the result of proportional elections using an opinion dynamics model similar ..."

An Experimental Study of Turbulent Convection in Air using PIV Technique

Twodimensional velocity field in a plane perpendicular to the surface was measured using particle image velocimetry (PIV). The results show the presence of different flow regimes ..."

The spectral analysis shows the existence of two power law regimes in the wavenumber spectra of the horizontal and vertical turbulent velocities. The regime at lower wavenumbers exhibits slopes of -3 which correspond

Such a chain is a mass fractal of dimension 2 as evidenced by a power-law decay o f-2 in the scattering at intermediate q. At low q, near q ~ _ 2rc/Rg, the Debye equation describes an e ..."

These approximations are used to constrain a unified equation for small-angle scattering. A function suitable for data fitting is obtained that describes polymeric
