For a two-dimensional system of agents modeled by molecular dynamics, we simulate epidemics spreading, which was recently studied on complex networks. Our resulting network model is time-evolving. We study the transitions to spreading as function of density, temperature and infection time. In addition, we analyze the epidemic threshold associated to a power-law distribution of infection times.

Clusters of infected individuals are defined on data from health laboratories, but this quantity has not been defined and characterized by epidemy models on statistical physics. For a system of mobile agents we simulate a model of infection without i mmunization and show that all the moments of the cluster size distribution at the critical rate of infection are characterized by only one exponent, which is the same exponent that determines the behavior of the total number of infected agents. No giant cluster survives independent on the magnitude of the rate of infection.
We propose a model of mobile agents to construct social networks, based on a system of moving particles by keeping track of the collisions during their permanence in the system. We reproduce not only the degree distribution, clustering coefficient an d shortest path length of a large data base of empirical friendship networks recently collected, but also some features related with their community structure. The model is completely characterized by the collision rate and above a critical collision rate we find the emergence of a giant cluster in the universality class of two-dimensional percolation. Moreover, we propose possible schemes to reproduce other networks of particular social contacts, namely sexual contacts.
In this Letter we show that the diffusion kinetics of kinetic energy among the atoms in non- equilibrium crystalline systems follows universal scaling relation and obey Levy-walk properties. This scaling relation is found to be valid for systems no matter how far they are driven out of equilibrium.

A two-dimensional lattice gas of two species, driven in opposite directions by an external force, undergoes a jamming transition if the filling fraction is sufficiently high. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the growth of these jams (clo uds), as the system approaches a non-equilibrium steady state from a disordered initial state. We monitor the dynamic structure factor $S(k_x,k_y;t)$ and find that the $k_x=0$ component exhibits dynamic scaling, of the form $S(0,k_y;t)=t^beta tilde{S}(k_yt^alpha)$. Over a significant range of times, we observe excellent data collapse with $alpha=1/2$ and $beta=1$. The effects of varying filling fraction and driving force are discussed.
We propose a new perspective on Turbulence using Information Theory. We compute the entropy rate of a turbulent velocity signal and we particularly focus on its dependence on the scale. We first report how the entropy rate is able to describe the dis tribution of information amongst scales, and how one can use it to isolate the injection, inertial and dissipative ranges, in perfect agreement with the Batchelor model and with a fBM model. In a second stage, we design a conditioning procedure in order to finely probe the asymmetries in the statistics that are responsible for the energy cascade. Our approach is very generic and can be applied to any multiscale complex system.
