A Solvable Model of Species Body Mass Evolution (2008)
Clauset, Aaron, Redner, Sidney
We present a quantitative model for the biological evolution of species body masses within large groups of related species, e.g., terrestrial mammals, in which body mass M evolves according to...
How many species have mass M? (2008)
Clauset, Aaron, Schwab, David J., Redner, Sidney
Within large taxonomic assemblages, the number of species with adult body mass M is characterized by a broad but asymmetric distribution, with the largest mass being orders of magnitude larger than...
Parity and Predictability of Competitions (2006)
Ben-Naim, Eli, Vazquez, Federico, Redner, Sidney
We present an extensive statistical analysis of the results of all sports competitions in five major sports leagues in England and the United States. We characterize the parity among teams by the...

Kinetics of Diffusion-Controlled Reactions. (1998)
There Were three primary goals of this project. First, we elucidated fundamental aspects of the kinetics of diffusion-controlled reactions. While the rate equations provide a useful starting point...
Kinetics and Dynamics of Reacting Systems. (1998)
This project was devoted to a study of the kinetics of diffusion-controlled and surface catalytic reactions. For catalytic reactions, the kinetics of the saturation process was elucidated. The role...
Dynamics of Reactive Interfaces (1998)
There were several major results in this project, including topics of ARO relevance, as well as general fundamental studies. We developed a basic understanding of filtration and the attendant...
Kinetics of Physicochemical Infiltration and Filtration Processes (1998)
This report outlines progress during the grant period on unsteady fluid flow processes in porous networks, the structure of growing networks, and the applications of statistical mechanics to...
Survival Probability in a Random Velocity Field (1997)
The time dependence of the survival probability, S(t), is determined for diffusing particles in two dimensions which are also driven by a random unidirectional zero-mean velocity field, v_x(y). For a...
Kinetics of Heterogeneous Reaction Processes. (1997)
There were several major results in this project. We determined the unusual kinetics of simple heterogeneons reactions in which the mobility or velocity of each reactant is drawn from a distribution....
Borderline Aggregation Kinetics in ``Dry'' and ``Wet'' Environments (1995)
Krapivsky, Paul. L., Redner, Sidney
We investigate the kinetics of constant-kernel aggregation which is augmented by either: (a) evaporation of monomers from finite-mass clusters, or (b) continuous cluster growth -- \ie, condensation....
