Over recent years there has been an accumulation of evidence that many animal behaviours are characterised by common scale-invariant patterns of switching between two contrasting activities over a period of time. This is evidenced in mammalian wake-sleep patterns, in the intermittent stop-start loco

## Abstract This paper addresses the problem of estimating the tail index Ξ± of distributions with heavy, Paretoβtype tails for dependent data, that is of interest in the areas of finance, insurance, environmental monitoring and teletraffic analysis. A novel approach based on the max selfβsimilarity
The exchange of the original cation present on a Laponite clay (usually Na + ) for heavy atoms such as Rb + , Cs + , and Tl + significantly alters the emission characteristics of some aromatic hydrocarbons ( p-terphenyl, naphthalene, pyrene, and biphenyl). The increase of the atomic mass of the cati
