We perform an extensive numerical study of avalanche behavior in a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones glass at T = 0, sheared at finite strain rates gamma[over]. From the finite size analysis of stress fluctuations and of transverse diffusion we show that flip-flip correlations remain relevant at all realistic strain rates. We predict that, in steady flow, the avalanche size scales as gamma[over];{-1/d}, with d the space dimension.

Prokaryote evolution is driven in large part by the incessant arms race with viruses. Genomic investments in antivirus defense can be coarsely classified into two categories, immune systems that abrogate virus reproduction resulting in clearance, and altruistic programmed cell death (PCD) systems. Prokaryotic defense systems are enormously diverse, as revealed by an avalanche of recent discoveries, but the basic ecological determinants of defense strategy remain poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
- Quantitative X-ray diffraction techniques need careful adjustments for sample transmission, especially in SAXS and WAXS experiments.
- Typical beamstops used in X-ray nanoprobes can’t record transmission signals simultaneously with scattering data, which negatively impacts data quality.
- The paper introduces a novel small beamstop with an embedded metal target to enhance fluorescence detection, allowing for accurate sample transmission measurements using a high-sensitivity avalanche photodiode.
Criticality of Interface Depinning and Origin of "Bump" in the Avalanche Distribution.

The depinning transition critical point is manifested as power-law distributed avalanches exhibited by slowly driven elastic interfaces in quenched random media. Here we show that since avalanches with different starting heights relative to the mean interface height or different initial local interface curvatures experience different excess driving forces due to elasticity, avalanches close to the "global" critical point of non-mean-field systems can be separated into populations of subcritical, critical, and supercritical ones. The asymmetric interface height distribution results in an excess of supercritical avalanches, manifested as a "bump" in the avalanche size distribution cutoff.

We analyze a two-dimensional spring network model comprising breakable and unbreakable springs. Computer simulations showed this system to exhibit intermittent stress drops in a larger strain regime, and these stress drops resulted in ductilelike behavior. The scaling analysis reveals that the avalanche size distribution demonstrates a cutoff, depending on its internal structure.

Amorphous solids can yield in either a ductile or brittle manner under strain: plastic deformation can set in gradually, or abruptly through a macroscopic stress drop. Developing a unified theory describing both ductile and brittle yielding constitutes a fundamental challenge of nonequilibrium statistical physics. Recently, it has been proposed that, in the absence of thermal effects, the nature of the yielding transition is controlled by physics akin to that of the quasistatically driven random field Ising model (RFIM), which has served as the paradigm for understanding the effect of quenched disorder in slowly driven systems with short-ranged interactions.
