The correlation properties of the magnitudes of a time series (sometimes called volatility) are associated with nonlinear and multifractal properties and have been applied in a great variety of fields. Here, we have obtained analytically the expression of the autocorrelation of the magnitude series of a linear Gaussian noise as a function of its correlation as well as several analytical relations involving them. For both, models and natural signals, the deviation from these equations can be used as an index of non-linearity that can be applied to relatively short records and that does not require the presence of scaling in the time series under study. We apply this approach to show that the heart-beat records during rest show higher non-linearities than the records of the same subject during moderate exercise. This behavior is also achieved on average for the analyzed set of 10 semiprofessional soccer players. This result agrees with the fact that other measures of complexity are dramatically reduced during exercise and can shed light on its relationship with the withdrawal of parasympathetic tone and/or the activation of sympathetic activity during physical activity.

We present the condensation method that exploits the heterogeneity of the probability distribution functions (PDF) of event locations to improve the spatial information content of seismic catalogs. The method reduces the size of seismic catalogs whil e improving the access to the spatial information content of seismic catalogs. The PDFs of events are first ranked by decreasing location errors and then successively condensed onto better located and lower variance event PDFs. The obtained condensed catalog attributes different weights to each event, providing an optimal spatial representation with respect to the spatially varying location capability of the seismic network. Synthetic tests on fractal distributions perturbed with realistic location errors show that condensation improves spatial information content of the original catalog. Applied to Southern California seismicity, the new condensed catalog highlights major mapped fault traces and reveals possible additional structures while reducing the catalog length by ~25%. The condensation method allows us to account for location error information within a point based spatial analysis. We demonstrate this by comparing the multifractal properties of the condensed catalog locations with those of the original catalog. We evidence different spatial scaling regimes characterized by distinct multifractal spectra and separated by transition scales. We interpret the upper scale as to agree with the thickness of the brittle crust, while the lower scale (2.5km) might depend on the relocation procedure. Accounting for these new results, the Epidemic Type Aftershock Model formulation suggests that, contrary to previous studies, large earthquakes dominate the earthquake triggering process. This implies that the limited capability of detecting small magnitude events cannot be used to argue that earthquakes are unpredictable in general.
Modularity based community detection encompasses a number of widely used, efficient heuristics for identification of structure in networks. Recently, a belief propagation approach to modularity optimization provided a useful guide for identifying non -trivial structure in single-layer networks in a way that other optimization heuristics have not. In this paper, we extend modularity belief propagation to multilayer networks. As part of this development, we also directly incorporate a resolution parameter. We show that adjusting the resolution parameter affects the convergence properties of the algorithm and yields different community structures than the baseline. We compare our approach with a widely used community detection tool, GenLouvain, across a range of synthetic, multilayer benchmark networks, demonstrating that our method performs comparably to the state of the art. Finally, we demonstrate the practical advantages of the additional information provided by our tool by way of two real-world network examples. We show how the convergence properties of the algorithm can be used in selecting the appropriate resolution and coupling parameters and how the node-level marginals provide an interpretation for the strength of attachment to the identified communities. We have released our tool as a Python package for convenient use.
We review the trade-offs between speed, fluctuations, and thermodynamic cost involved with biological processes in nonequilibrium states, and discuss how optimal these processes are in light of the universal bound set by the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR). The values of the uncertainty product $mathcal{Q}$ of TUR, which can be used as a measure of the precision of enzymatic processes realized for a given thermodynamic cost, are suboptimal when the substrate concentration $[S]$ is at the Michaelis constant ($K_text{M}$), and some of the key biological processes are found to work around this condition. We illustrate the utility of $mathcal{Q}$ in assessing how close the molecular motors and biomass producing machineries are to the TUR bound, and for the cases of biomass production (or biological copying processes) we discuss how their optimality quantified in terms of $mathcal{Q}$ is balanced with the error rate in the information transfer process. We also touch upon the trade-offs in other error-minimizing processes in biology, such as gene regulation and chaperone-assisted protein folding. A spectrum of $mathcal{Q}$ recapitulating the biological processes surveyed here provides glimpses into how biological systems are evolved to optimize and balance the conflicting functional requirements.
We analyze the synchronous firings of the salamander ganglion cells from the perspective of the complex network viewpoint where the networks links reflect the correlated behavior of firings. We study the time-aggregated properties of the resulting ne twork focusing on its topological features. The behavior of pairwise correlations has been inspected in order to construct an appropriate measure that will serve as a weight of network connection.
Power spectral density measurements of any sampled signal are typically restricted by both acquisition rate and frequency response limitations of instruments, which can be particularly prohibitive for video-based measurements. We have developed a new method called Intensity Modulation Spectral Analysis (IMSA) that circumvents these limitations, dramatically extending the effective detection bandwidth. We demonstrate this by video-tracking an optically-trapped microsphere while oscillating an LED illumination source. This approach allows us to quantify fluctuations of the microsphere at frequencies over 10 times higher than the Nyquist frequency, mimicking a significantly higher frame rate.
