Boiling crisis as a critical phenomenon.
We present the first experimental study of intermittency and avalanche distribution during a boiling crisis. To understand the emergence of power law statistics we propose a simple spin model capturing the measured critical exponent. The model suggests that behind the critical heat flux is a percolation phenomenon involving drying-rewetting competition close to the hot surface.
متن کاملLINE-SEGMENTS CRITICAL SLIP SURFACE IN EARTH SLOPES USING AN OPTIMIZATION METHOD
In this paper the factor of safety (FS) and critical line-segments slip surface obtained by the Alternating Variable Local Gradient (AVLG) optimization method was presented as a new topic in 2D. Results revealed that the percentage of reduction in the FS obtained by switching from a circular shape to line segments was higher with the AVLG method than other methods. The 2D-AVLG optimization meth...
متن کاملLearning as a phenomenon occurring in a critical state.
Recent physiological measurements have provided clear evidence about scale-free avalanche brain activity and EEG spectra, feeding the classical enigma of how such a chaotic system can ever learn or respond in a controlled and reproducible way. Models for learning, like neural networks or perceptrons, have traditionally avoided strong fluctuations. Conversely, we propose that brain activity havi...

Gluodynamics in 3D spacetime with one spatial direction compactified into a circle of length L is studied.
متن کاملSpontaneous neuronal activity as a self-organized critical phenomenon
Neuronal avalanches are a novel mode of activity in neuronal networks, experimentally found in vitro and in vivo, and exhibit a robust critical behaviour. Avalanche activity can be modelled within the self-organized criticality framework, including threshold ring, refractory period and activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. The size and duration distributions con rm that the system acts in a c...
