Existing burn resuscitation protocols exhibit large variability in treatment efficacy. Hence, they must be further optimized based on comprehensive knowledge of burn pathophysiology. A physics-based mathematical model that can replicate…
We study the asymptotic properties of fracture strength distributions of disordered elastic media by a combination of renormalization group, extreme value theory, and numerical simulation. We investigate the validity of the `weakest-link…
In statistical inference, uncertainty is unknown and all models are wrong. That is to say, a person who makes a statistical model and a prior distribution is simultaneously aware that both are fictional candidates. To study such cases,…
The aim of the present text is to provide some basics around Reshetnyak's theory of subharmonic distances, together with an overview of the main results. This text is intended to be a complement to the English translation of \cite{R1954},…
Despite the great progress of neural network-based (NN-based) machinery fault diagnosis methods, their robustness has been largely neglected, for they can be easily fooled through adding imperceptible perturbation to the input. For fault…
This comment points out that simulation results of Mehrabi and Sahimi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 735 (1999)] are iconsistent with exact bounds, renormalization group calculations, and previous numerical simulations.
This Reply is intended as a refutation of the preceding Comment [Oikonomou and Bagci, Phys. Rev. E 96, 056101 (2017)] on our paper [Plastino et al., Phys. Rev. E 94, 012145 (2016).]. We show that the Tsallis probability distribution of our…
We make some comments about the results we obtained in Phys. Rev. Lett. 86,3392(2001), and in Phys. Rev. Lett.87, 177206 (2001), and show that the conclusion of a recent paper [cond-mat/0409495] leveling some criticism on our results is, in…
Reweighting adversarial data during training has been recently shown to improve adversarial robustness, where data closer to the current decision boundaries are regarded as more critical and given larger weights. However, existing methods…
The magnitude of force used in a stabbing incident can be difficult to quantify, although the estimate given by forensic pathologists is often seen as `critical' evidence in medico-legal situations. The main objective of this study is to…
It is demonstrated that World War II casualty data display statistical structure that would be expected from multifractal data. Given that the data displayed these properties, it is shown how the existence of power-law tails in the…
In this note, it is shown that the results claimed in the paper [1]---as well as the examples presented there---are, unfortunately, incorrect.
Understanding human dynamics is of major scientific and practical importance and can be increasingly addressed in a quantitative fashion thanks to electronic records capturing various human activity patterns. The authors of Ref. [1] revisit…
In this paper I propose a 'mechanism' for the explanation of power-law characteristics of casualty dynamics in inter-state wars, intra-state wars and terrorist attacks: the scale-free physical organization of social systems. Other…
The domain of validity of standard thermodynamics and Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics is discussed and then formally enlarged in order to hopefully cover a variety of anomalous systems. The generalization concerns {\it nonextensive}…
Traumatic brain injury [TBI] has become a signature injury of current military conflicts, with debilitating, costly, and long-lasting effects. Although mechanisms by which head impacts cause TBI have been well-researched, the mechanisms by…

The goal of this thesis is to investigate the potential of predictive modelling for football injuries. This work was conducted in close collaboration with Tottenham Hotspurs FC (THFC), the PGA European tour and the participation of…
Storms and other severe weather events can result in fatalities, injuries, and property damage. Therefore, preventing such outcomes to the extent possible is a key concern, and the scientific community faces an increasing demand for…
