Statistical properties of the laminar lengths for the noisy on–off intermittency are studied analytically. The universal distribution of the laminar phases is obtained at the critical point. It can be approximated by the power law with the exponent -3/2 and the exponential law describing fast falloff.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present statistics of soft gamma repeater (SGR) bursts from SGR J1550−5418, SGR 1806−20, and SGR 1900+14 by adding new bursts from Kırmızıbayrak et al. detected with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We find that the fluence distributions of magnetar bursts are well described by power-law functions with indices 1.84, 1.68, and 1.65 for SGR J1550−5418, SGR 1806−20, and SGR 1900+14, respectively. The duration distributions of magnetar bursts also show power-law forms. Meanwhile, the waiting time distribution can be described by a non-stationary Poisson process with an exponentially growing occurrence rate. These distributive features indicate that magnetar bursts can be regarded as a self-organizing critical process. We also compare these distributions with the repeating fast radio burst (FRB) 121102. The statistical properties of repeating FRB 121102 are similar with magnetar bursts, combining with the large required magnetic field (B ≥ 1014 G) of neutron star for FRB 121102, which indicates that the central engine of FRB 121102 may be a magnetar.

The derivation of conservation laws for the magma equation using the multiplier method for both the power law and exponential law relating the permeability and matrix viscosity to the voidage is considered. It is found that all known conserved vectors for the magma equation and the new conserved vectors for the exponential laws can be derived using multipliers which depend on the voidage and spatial derivatives of the voidage. It is also found that the conserved vectors are associated with the Lie point symmetry of the magma equation which generates travelling wave solutions which may explain by the double reduction theorem for associated Lie point symmetries why many of the known analytical solutions are travelling waves.

ABSTRACTThe results of photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) studies from partially oxidized porous silicon (POPS) layers are presented. The PL from POPS is stable, peaks at 600-570 nm and its temperature dependence can be fitted by an exponential law with an activation energy Ea « 10 meV. The current-voltage characteristics of Au-(POPS)-crystalline silicon (c-Si) structures follow a power law I = Vn. When the index n becomes higher than 3, electroluminescence (EL) is found. The EL peaks at 760 nm and is stable for more than 100 hours of operation. The intensity of the EL is a linear function of current for all measured structures up to current density J ≈ 1 A/cm2. Our results suggest that partially oxidized porous silicon is more useful for device applications than freshly anodized porous silicon which has unstable properties or than fully oxidized porous silicon in which transport is poor.

<p style="text-align: justify;">A Sauvignon white wine was fined with a dry bentonite (BS), e.g directly incorporated in the wine without swelling treatment, or with the same bentonite swelled in water 24 hours before utilization (BG). The volumes of lees generated by the fining were situated between 0,27 and 1,51 % (v/v) for BS, and between 1,07 and 4,59 % (v/v) for BG. The relation between the quantity of bentonite introduced in the wine (g/hl) and the volume of lees (v/v) follows a power law. The volume of lees only increased by 70 % when the dose of swelled bentonite was doubled; for higher doses of bentonite (rarely used), one can observe a packing of the lees. For BS, lees were approximately twice more volumetric when the dose was doubled. We also observe very good relationship between the clarifying efficiency and the volume of lees. When the clarifying efficiency of BG increased by 10 % the volume of lees increased by 74 %. For BS, when the clarifying efficiency increased by 10 % the volume of lees increased by 86 % because of its low efficiency during clarification. The decrease of the natural proteic haze risk and the volume of lees generated by bentonite fining were also closely correlated by an exponential law. For BG, the mathematical law showed that when the volume of lees increased by 0,1 % (v/v), colloidal haze risk decreased only by 22 %. On the contrary, for BS, when the volume of lees increased by 0,1 %, proteic haze risk decreased by 44 %. Finally, the estimation of the cost of fining showed that the use of a non swelled bentonite was economically more interesting than the utilization of a swelled bentonite. This was true when this Sauvignon wine is sold both in bottle or in bulk. For the studied wine, the estimated winning was 115 euros for 10 hl sold in bulk.</p>

We characterize the statistical properties of a large number of online auctions run on eBay. Both stationary and dynamic properties, like distributions of prices, number of bids etc., as well as relations between these quantities are studied. The analysis of the data reveals surprisingly simple distributions and relations, typically of power-law form. Based on these findings we introduce a simple method to identify suspicious auctions that could be influenced by a form of fraud known as shill bidding. Furthermore the influence of bidding strategies is discussed. The results indicate that the observed behavior is related to a mixture of agents using a variety of strategies.
