The exponents characterizing the relationships between length and strain rate ξγ˙-ν/β, average avalanche size and system length SL(2τ)df, and avalanche durations with sizes TSz/df are reported often and are shown here. Three-dimensional observations are labeled (3d); otherwise, the values correspond to 2D systems.
