Discrete power law with exponential cutoff and Lotka's Law
نویسنده
چکیده
The first bibliometric law appeared in Alfred J. Lotka’s 1926 examination of author productivity in chemistry and physics. The result is that the productivity distribution is thought to be described by a power law. In this paper, Lotka’s original data on author productivity in chemistry is reconsidered by comparing the fit of the data to both a discrete power law and a discrete power law with exponential cutoff.

Effects of Power-Law Distribution and Exponential with Uniform Pressures on Vibration Behavior of Reinforced Cylindrical Shell Made of Functionally Graded Materials under Symmetric Boundary Conditions
In this paper, the influence of the constituent volume fractions by changing the values of the power-law exponent with uniform pressure on the vibration frequencies of reinforced functionally graded cylindrical shells is studied. The FGM shell with ring is developed in accordance to the volume fraction law from two constituents namely stainless steel and nickel. These constituents are graded th...
متن کاملA Stochastic Evolutionary Model Exhibiting Power-Law Behaviour with an Exponential Cutoff
Recently several authors have proposed stochastic evolutionary models for the growth of complex networks that give rise to power-law distributions. These models are based on the notion of preferential attachment leading to the “rich get richer” phenomenon. Despite the generality of the proposed stochastic models, there are still some unexplained phenomena, which may arise due to the limited siz...

متن کاملThe first simultaneous X-ray/γ-ray observations of Cyg X-1 by Ginga and OSSE
We present the results of 4 simultaneous observations of Cygnus X-1 by Ginga and OSSE. The X-ray/γray spectra can be described by an intrinsic continuum and a component due to Compton reflection including an iron Kα line. The intrinsic spectrum at X-ray energies is a power-law with a photon spectral index of Γ = 1.6. The intrinsic γ-ray spectrum can be phenomenologically described by either a p...
متن کاملWeblog patterns and human dynamics with decreasing interest
Weblog is the fourth way of network exchange after Email, BBS and MSN. Most bloggers begin to write blogs with great interest, and then their interests gradually achieve a balance with the passage of time. In order to describe the phenomenon that people’s interest in something gradually decreases until it reaches a balance, we first propose the model that describes the attenuation of interest a...
