The system exhibits typical features of complex systems such as power law system size distributions, fat-tailed growth rate distributions and nontrivial slow shrink of variance of growth rates as a function of the number of subunits. There are extraordinary cases in which variances of growth rates remain finite even in the limit of infinite numbers of sum of independent subunits having identical statistics. This result can be viewed as a generalization of the central limit theorem to the case of growth rates. As an example of real-world phenomena we analyze the business firm data of about 1 million Japanese firms and show that all features are consistent with our theory.","PeriodicalId":137085,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133526382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on these experiments, we suppose that 1/f noise caused by quartz internal friction and adoption-desorption (generation-recombination) noise from analyzed gas create the main components of measured noise spectral density. The value of the adoption-desorption noise depends on the physical and chemical parameters of analyzed gas and it is proportional to gas density.

The theoretical study of ratchet mechanism usually focuses on the particle or state properties on a prescribed ratchet potential. In contrast, this work starts with a real system and shows how one can manipulate the system setup to have a ratchet potential for the system state. The model consists of a rotor surrounded by several drivers on a 2D plane. Both the rotor and drivers are furnished with electric dipoles, through which they can interact with each other. During the rotational fluctuations of the driver dipoles between two states, the rotor may rotate unidirectionally, independent of whether the driver fluctuations are periodic or completely random. If the driver fluctuations come from the conformational change of certain protein subunits consuming ATP, the rotor behavior would be similar to the rotation of the central γ subunit of F0F1-ATPase in mitochondria. We compare the rotational properties of our model with that of the flashing ratchet and F0F1-ATPase. This model provides a feasible way for harvesting non-equilibrium energy from ambient noise, which could be used to design microscopic artificial machines.","PeriodicalId":137085,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129283142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
