In this paper, the fractal characteristics of goose down assembly are described by determining the pore area fractal dimension and the tortuosity fractal dimension. The goose down assembly, filled with mass of down fibers and pores, is loose and ductile. The pores are varying shapes and sizes, and distribute unevenly. Firstly, micro computed tomography is used to observe the internal microstruc...

The target of this research is recognition the alteration zones utilizing concentration-area fractal methodology according to reflection main minerals each zone that enhanced by Spectral Feature Fitting (SFF) method due Advanced Space-borne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) satellite images in Saryazd porphyry system, central Iran. alterations mineralization developed Eocene vo...

We report observation of liquid crystal phase ordering via fractal growth aggregates for a calamitic, non-bent-core mesogen. Fractal growth of a conventional smectic- C (Sm-C) phase from the isotropic melt after a temperature quench was experimentally investigated with respect to time, cell gap, quench depth, and quench rate. The determined fractal dimensions relating to the area as well as the...

The objective of this paper is to examine the development of the urban form of the city of Olomouc since the 1920s in terms of fractal dimension, and to link the observation with two other descriptors of shape – area and perimeter. The fractal dimension of built-up areas and fractal dimension of the boundary of the city are calculated employing the box-counting method; the possibilities of thei...

spatial analysis of aeolian landforms by fractal theory (case study: ardestan rig) abstract natural sciences face to a great revolution, nowadays. now, scientists think the world as a collection of complex systems which prediction of consequences of this complex systems is so difficult. in this situation the systems have rotational act so irregularly lead to regular and regularly lead to irregu...

-We have re-examined the inertial range behavior of a passive scalar which is advected by a large-scale velocity field causing a cascade of tracer variance to small scales, where it is dissipated by diffusion. This has been done within the context of an idealized model based on mixing by a 2D area-preserving map alternating with a weak diffusion step; the model is a special case of the general ...

abstract purpose - the aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...

Fractal geometry provides a powerful tool for scale-free spatial analysis of cities, but the fractal dimension calculation results always depend on methods and scopes of study area. This phenomenon has been puzzling many researchers. This paper is devoted to discussing the problem of uncertainty of fractal dimension estimation and the potential solutions to it. Using regular fractals as archety...

A one-year series of hourly average PM10 observations, which was obtained from the urban and national park air monitoring station at Taipei (Taiwan), was analyzed by descriptive statistics and fractal methods to examine the temporal structures of PM10 concentrations. It was found that all PM10 measurements exhibited the characteristic right-skewed unimodal frequency distribution and long-term m...
