A dynamical analogy supported by five scale-free statistics (the Gutenberg-Richter distribution of event sizes, the distribution of interevent intervals, the Omori and inverse Omori laws, and the conditional waiting time until the next event) is shown to exist between two classes of seizures ("focal" in humans and generalized in animals) and earthquakes. Increments in excitatory interneuronal c...

We demonstrate how, from the point of view of energy flow through an open system, rain is analogous to many other relaxational processes in nature such as earthquakes. By identifying rain events as the basic entities of the phenomenon, we show that the number density of rain events per year is inversely proportional to the released water column raised to the power of 1.4. This is the rain equiv...

T HERE are a number of factors, both of an environmental and an intraorganic nature, which can influence the taste responses of various species of animals, some serving to increase and others acting to decrease stimulant concentrations at behavioral taste thresholds. Among these variables are included the nature of the taste medium (Mackey and Valassi, 1956; Mackey, 1958) ; the temperature of t...

Richter transformation is defined as a diffuse large cell lymphoma, occurring by transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We present a 64-year-old man with a history of CLL and a left parieto-occipital transtentorial extra-axial mass. The patient underwent CT and MR imaging, demonstrating a large dural-based mass with extracranial extension, which occluded the left transverse sinus...

Faisant suite à deux contributions antérieures de 1997 et 2016, cet article présente toute la correspondance (conservée) entre Max Ohnefalsch-Richter Heinrich Schliemann, soit vingt lettres longueurs différentes datées 1883 1890. En plus transcription des d’un télégramme, on tente replacer cette dans le contexte vie personnages, en priorité pour ce qui concerne Ohne­falsch-Richter : cela nous p...

[1] With twelve years of seismic data from TauTona Gold Mine, South Africa, we show that mining-induced earthquakes follow the Gutenberg-Richter relation with no scale break down to the completeness level of the catalog, at moment magnitude MW 1.3. Events recorded during relatively quiet hours in 2006 indicate that catalog detection limitations, not earthquake source physics, controlled the pre...
