A series of three experiments was conducted with the aim of determining the processing nature of the fractal rotation stimulus introduced by C. P. Benton, J. M. O'Brien, and W. Curran (2007). This stimulus has been proposed to be invisible to first-order sensitive mechanisms considering it is drift-balanced. Rather, motion perception would require the analysis of spatial structure (orientation)...

Silver nanocrystals have been prepared by reacting silver nitrate with ascorbic acid in aqueous solution containing a low concentration of a commercial polynaphthalene sulfonate polymer (Daxad 19). Various crystalline morphologies have been obtained simply by tuning the reaction temperature. We have investigated the nanoparticle formation mechanism at three different temperatures by in situ and...

IFS Fractals the attractors of Iterated Function Systems in Euclidean space have motivated plenty of investigation to date, due to their simplicity and applicability in various fields, such as the modeling of plants in computer graphics, and the design of fractal antennas. The statement and resolution of the Fractal-Line Intersection Problem is imperative for a more efficient treatment of appli...

The Farey sequences can be used to create the Euler totient function, by identifying the fractions for number n that did not occur in all Farey sequences up to n – 1. This function creates, when divided by n – 1, what is here called the primety measure, which is a measure of how close to being a prime number n is. The quality of a number sequence can be determined using the primety, which is fu...

we start this article by rebuilding higher operads of weak higher transformations, and correct those in cite{cambat}. as in cite{cambat} we propose an operadic approach for weak higher $n$-transformations, for each $ninmathbb{n}$, where such weak higher $n$-transformations are seen as algebras for specific contractible higher operads. the last chapter of this article asserts that, up to precise...

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of inducing hypothyroidism by propyl-2-thiouracyl (PTU) on lambs testicular histomorphology and plasma testosterone concentration. Materials and Methods: Eighteen Lori-Bakhtari male lambs were divided to 3 groups (n=6) and each received one of the treatments as Control (C: 0 mg PTU/kg BW), Low (L: 10 mg PTU/kg BW) and High (H: 20 mg...

A nucleotide sequence can be expressed as a numerical sequence when each nucleotide is assigned its proton number. A resulting gene numerical sequence can be investigated for its fractal dimension in terms of evolution and chemical properties for comparative studies. We have investigated such nucleotide fluctuation in the 16S rRNA gene of archaea thermophiles. The studied archaea thermophiles w...

We study the complexity of geometric problems on spaces of low fractal dimension. It was recently shown by [Sidiropoulos & Sridhar, SoCG 2017] that several problems admit improved solutions when the input is a pointset in Euclidean space with fractal dimension smaller than the ambient dimension. In this paper we prove nearly-matching lower bounds, thus establishing nearly-optimal bounds for var...

microtubule affinity-regulating kinase 2 (mark2) protein has a substantial role in regulation of vital cellular processes like induction of polarity, regulation of cell junctions, cytoskeleton structure and cell differentiation. the abnormal function of this protein has been associated with a number of pathological conditions like alzheimer disease, autism, several carcinomas and development of...
