β¦ Synopsis
We introduce a deterministic self-organized critical system that is one-dimensional and bulk driven. We ΓΏnd that there is no unique universality class associated with the system. That is, the critical exponents change as the parameters of the system are changed. This is in contrast with the boundary-driven version of the model (Phys. Rev. E 61 (2000) 6056) in which the exponents are unique. This model can be seen as a discretized version of the conservative limit of the Burridge-Knopo model for earthquakes.

Critical properties have been evidenced in the case of a hydrodynamical instability triggered by a local heating in a fluid which presents a free surface. The heating is provided electrically along a straight wire. Above a given electrical power a pattern appears under the form of propagative waves.
Transient behaviors in the self-sustained oscillation of a plasmoidal strand in Physarum polycephalum have been investigated for sudden changes in temperature under an isotonic condition. When the temperature is decreased, the period of self-sustained oscillation originally becomes longer than that
