Environment model is an important component of an artificial society. To level up the resolution of residence-building environment models in artificial Beijing, we divide residential buildings in Beijing into two categories, which are noncommunity residential buildings and community residential buildings, and statistically analyze the numbers of floors and areas of the real residential buildings. In this paper, we have exhibited the distribution of numbers of floors in noncommunity residential buildings and community residential buildings. Furthermore, we analyze the distribution of areas of noncommunity residential buildings and residence-use proportions of community zones by Nonlinear Regression. Results indicate that areas of noncommunity residential buildings in Beijing obey the log-normal distribution and residence-use proportions of community zones obey normal distribution. According to the statistical models, the virtual residential buildings in artificial Beijing can be endowed with rational attribute values.

Weight of single ceramic sherds from archaeological contexts has a log-normal distribution. This property can be used for a purely quantitative statistical analysis of contexts. Rather than focusing on the economic and social value of ceramics, quantification is used to evaluate depositional histories and verify or improve archaeological interpretation.

Log Normal Distribution

The mechanosensitivity of cells has recently been identified as a process that could greatly influence a cell’s fate. To understand the interaction between cells and their surrounding extracellular matrix, the characterization of the mechanical properties of natural polymeric gels is needed. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is one of the leading tools used to characterize mechanically biological tissues. It appears that the elasticity (elastic modulus) values obtained by AFM presents a log-normal distribution. Despite its ubiquity, the log-normal distribution concerning the elastic modulus of biological tissues does not have a clear explanation. In this paper, we propose a physical mechanism based on the weak universality of critical exponents in the percolation process leading to gelation. Following this, we discuss the relevance of this model for mechanical signatures of biological tissues.
