This paper has been withdrawn by the authors due to a fatal error in the analysis. The manuscript was submitted to Chemical Engineering Science. To clarify the situation, we copy the main comment from an anonymous referee here: To my understanding, the authors analyze i = 1 ... 63 time series and calculate their mean and standard deviation. These time series correspond to individual, single ignition processes. Is this correct? If yes, these processes, as Fig. 3 shows very clearly, are not stationary, and the pressure difference (i.e., the signal) quickly decays to zero. In this case both the mean and the standard deviation are poorly defined, for example because both depend in a trivial fashion on the observation period T. I am not aware of any study (including those cited by the authors) which allows for any conclusion from such non-stationary signals. The results of Menezes and Barabasi are strictly only valid for stationary time series, and they cannot be applied at all in this case. We agree with this insightful comment that our data are not stationary and the method adopted in our manuscript does not apply. We do not see any possibility to correct this error and decide to withdraw it. We would like to thank gratefully the referee and apologize for any inconvenience caused by our oversight.

On a laboratory-scale testing platform of impinging entrained-flow gasifier with four opposed burners, the flame images for diesel combustion and gasification process were measured with a single charge coupled device (CCD) camera. The two-dimensional
multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis was employed to investigate the multifractal nature of the flame images. Sound power-law scaling in the annealed average of detrended fluctuations was unveiled when the order $q>0$ and the multifractal feature of flame images were confirmed. Further analyses identified two multifractal parameters, the minimum and maximum singularity $alpha_{min}$ and $alpha_{max}$, serving as characteristic parameters of the multifractal flames. These two characteristic multifractal parameters vary with respect to different experimental conditions.
Airflow through the nasal cavity exhibits a wide variety of fluid dynamicsbehaviour due to the intricacy of the nasal geometry. The flow is naturallyunsteady and perhaps turbulent, despite CFD in the literature that assumesa steady laminar flow. Time
-dependent simulations can be used to generatedetailed data with the potential to uncover new flow behaviour, although theyare more computationally intensive compared with steady-state simulations. Furthermore, verification of CFD results has relied on reported pressure drop(e.g. nasal resistance) across the nasal airway although the geometries usedare different. This study investigated the unsteady nature of inhalation atflow rates of 10, 15, 20, and 30 L/min. A scale resolving CFD simulationusing a hybrid RANS-LES model was used and compared with experimentalmeasurements of the pressure distribution and the overall pressure drop in thenasal cavity. The experimental results indicated a large pressure drop acrossthe nasal valve, as well as across the nasopharynx with the latter attributedto a narrow cross-sectional area. At a flowrate of 30 L/min, the CFD simula-tions showed that the anterior half of the nasal cavity displayed dominantlylaminar but disturbed flow behaviour in the form of velocity fluctuations. Theposterior half of the nasal cavity displayed turbulent activity, characterised byerratic fluctuating velocities, which was enhanced by the wider cross-sectionalareas in the coronal plane. At 15L/min, the flow field was laminar dominantwith very little disturbance confirming a steady-state laminar flow assumptionis viable at this flow rate.
Many illnesses are associated with an alteration of the immune system homeostasis due to any combination of factors, including exogenous bacterial insult, endogenous breakdown (e.g., development of a disease that results in immuno suppression), or an
exogenous hit like surgery that simultaneously alters immune responsiveness and provides access to bacteria, or genetic disorder. We conjecture that, as a consequence of the co-evolution of the immune system of individuals with the ecology of pathogens, the homeostasis of the immune system requires the influx of pathogens. This allows the immune system to keep the ever present pathogens under control and to react and adjust fast to bursts of infections. We construct the simplest and most general system of rate equations which describes the dynamics of five compartments: healthy cells, altered cells, adaptive and innate immune cells, and pathogens. We study four regimes obtained with or without auto-immune disorder and with or without spontaneous proliferation of infected cells. Over all regimes, we find that seven different states are naturally described by the model: (i) strong healthy immune system, (ii) healthy organism with evanescent immune cells, (iii) chronic infections, (iv) strong infections, (v) cancer, (vi) critically ill state and (vii) death. The analysis of stability conditions demonstrates that these seven states depend on the balance between the robustness of the immune system and the influx of pathogens.
Are large biological extinctions such as the Cretaceous/Tertiary KT boundary due to a meteorite, extreme volcanic activity or self-organized critical extinction cascades? Are commercial successes due to a progressive reputation cascade or the result
of a well orchestrated advertisement? Determining the chain of causality for extreme events in complex systems requires disentangling interwoven exogenous and endogenous contributions with either no clear or too many signatures. Here, I review several efforts carried out with collaborators, which suggest a general strategy for understanding the organization of several complex systems under the dual effect of endogenous and exogenous fluctuations. The studied examples are: Internet download shocks, book sale shocks, social shocks, financial volatility shocks, and financial crashes. Simple models are offered to quantitatively relate the endogenous organization to the exogenous response of the system. Suggestions for applications of these ideas to many other systems are offered.
The occurrence of new events in a system is typically driven by external causes and by previous events taking place inside the system. This is a general statement, applying to a range of situations including, more recently, to the activity of users i
n Online social networks (OSNs). Here we develop a method for extracting from a series of posting times the relative contributions of exogenous, e.g. news media, and endogenous, e.g. information cascade. The method is based on the fitting of a generalized linear model (GLM) equipped with a self-excitation mechanism. We test the method with synthetic data generated by a nonlinear Hawkes process, and apply it to a real time series of tweets with a given hashtag. In the empirical dataset, the estimated contributions of exogenous and endogenous volumes are close to the amounts of original tweets and retweets respectively. We conclude by discussing the possible applications of the method, for instance in online marketing.
