We investigate ECG recordings of healthy subjects (H subjects) and those with heart failure (HF subjects) based on a new measure derived from the shape of the ECG signal during each heart beat. From this measure we construct sequences, called “morphograms”, which are complementary to...

Inspired by work of both Widom and Mandelbrot, we analyze the Computstat database comprising all publicly traded United States manufacturing companies in the years 1974–1993. We find that the distribution of company size remains stable for the 20 years we study, i.e., the mean value and...

We discuss a recently developed random walk model for ionic transport in glass, which offers a simple explanation to the so far unexplained transport anomalies in glassy ionic conductors: The set of anomalies combined under the name mixed alkali effect and the drastic increase of the ionic...

We discuss a recently developed theoretical model for ionic transport in glass, which offers a simple explanation to two long lasting problems in the physics of glassy ionic conductors: the anomalous dependence of conductivity on the modifier content and the mixed alkali effect. The model is...
