چکیده

The current experiments investigated the fractal structure in the nested actions of tapping behavior. The results revealed that task constraints (e.g., tapping to a metronome) alter the fractal structure of a given aspect of the behavior (e.g., intertap interval) and decouple its long-term interactions with other aspects of the behavior (e.g., key-press duration). These results support the idea that fractal structure reflects the dynamical organization of complex systems.

Transmission properties of one dimensional fractal structures

In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...

Pore surface fractal dimension of sol-gel derived nanoporous SiO2-ZrO2 membrane

In this work, SiO2 –ZrO2 mixed oxides was prepared by the polymeric sol–gel route. The characterization of pore structure, which determines the permeation process of membrane, is of great importance. So far, most investigations have focused on such pore structure as specific surface area and pore size distribution, but the surface fractal, the important parameter reflecting the roughness of por...

Determination of Agricultural Sulfur Effects on the Soil Structure Using Fractal Geometery and Aggregate Stability Indices

Due to unsuitable soil physical conditions, calcareous soils, and the existence of a huge amount of sulfur in the country, the study of sulfur effects on the soil structure and other soil properties is necessary. Therefore, the effects of different rates of sulfur including: 0, 750, 1500 and 3000 kg/ha, when accompanied by Halothiobacillus neapolitanus bacteria, on the soil properties in the co...

توصیف فرکتالی تاج پوشش درختان و چگالی ظاهری خاک در جنگل‌های زاگرس (مطالعه موردی: منطقه حفاظت شده بیستون)

In Zagros forest ecosystem, spatial variability of soil and vegetation properties are controlled by series of physical and biological parameters including topographical and anthropogenic factors. Distribution patterns of these properties are greatly variable. In the current study, geostatistics and fractal theory were used to assess the spatial variability of tree canopy and soil bulk density i...

Assessment the Effect of Exposure Conditions and Geometry Parameters on Calculated Fractal Dimension of Mandibular Bone

Introduction: One of the fractal analysis methods to examine the structure of a texture is fractal dimension (F.D.) measurement. F.D is a quantitative method to show the complexity of a structure using a number. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different exposure conditions, voltages and angle of x-ray tube on F.D. values of mandibular bone. Methods: This lab-trial analytic...
