The past twenty-five years have seen a strong increase in the number of publications related
to criticality in different areas of neuroscience. The potential of criticality to explain various …

Wavelet transforms are recent mathematical techniques, based on group theory and square
integrable representations, which allows one to unfold a signal, or a field, into both space …

To seek stochastic analogies in key processes related to the hydrological cycle, an extended
collection of several billions of data values from hundred thousands of worldwide stations is …

Wind and solar power are known to be highly influenced by weather events and may ramp
up or down abruptly. Such events in the power production influence not only the availability …

Wind conditions in the built environment are complex in nature and characterized by lower
wind speeds and higher turbulence due to the presence of obstructions. A growing body of …

Scaling (power-type) laws reveal the fundamental property of the phenomena--self similarity.
Self-similar (scaling) phenomena repeat themselves in time and/or space. The property of …

In diverse areas of science and technology, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF),
astrophysics, geophysics, and engineering processes, turbulent mixing induced by …

Multiple types of fluctuations impact the collective dynamics of power grids and thus
challenge their robust operation. Fluctuations result from processes as different as …

In this article, we review the theory of Gaussian multiplicative chaos initially introduced by
Kahane's seminal work in 1985. Though this beautiful paper faded from memory until …

Concepts, methods and techniques of statistical physics in the study of correlated, as well as
uncorrelated, phenomena are being applied ever increasingly in the natural sciences …
