When calcium salts are added to an aqueous solution of polysaccharide pectin, ionic cross-links form between pectin chains, giving rise to a gel network in dilute solution. In this work, dynamic light scattering (DLS) is employed to study the microscopic dynamics of the fractal aggregates (flocs) that constitute the gels, while rheological measurements are carried out to study the process of ge...

The classification of the grade of shrink and expansion for the expansive soils is very important work for constructions in expansive soil area. Accurate evaluation of the estate of expansive soil may provide scientific data and basis for the prevention of engineering design and construction. This paper brings forward the classification method for expansive soil based on fractal interpolation t...

We consider the fractal percolation process on the unit square, with fixed decimation parameter N and level dependent retention parameters {pk}; that is, for all k ≥ 1, at the kth stage every retained square of side-length N1−k is partitioned into N2 congruent subsquares, and each of these is retained with probability pk, independently of all others. We show that if ∏ k pk = 0 (i.e., if the are...

The high-grade uranium deposits in the Xiemisitan area, northwestern China, are genetically associated with the faulting of felsic volcanic or sub-volcanic rocks. Ferric iron alteration indicates that oxidizing hydrothermal fluids percolated through the rocks. In this study, we measured the gamma-ray intensities of rocks in the Xiemisitan area and we propose a hybrid method for the mapping of f...

the soil water retention curve (swrc) is a basic characteristic of the determination of soil hydraulic properties, including unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. measurement of this curve is essential to research, thus scientists have focused on indirect methods such as pedotransfer functions and empirical relationships to estimate swrc easily. since there is a close relationship between swrc an...

The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) estimation methods for the delineation of mineralized zones based on subsurface data using concentration–volume (C–V) multifractal modeling in the Dardevey iron ore deposit, NE Iran. Variograms and anisotropic ellipsoid were generated for the Fe distribution by the above estimation m...

Detection of mineralized zones based on ores and gangues is important for mine planning and excavation operation. The major goal of this research work was to determine the zones based on ores and gangues by a combination of fractal and factor analysis in the Chah Gaz iron ore (Central Iran). The Concentration-Volume (C-V) fractal method was carried out for Fe, P and S, which indicated that the ...

Indicator dilution studies are used to provide estimates for several physiological parameters such as cardiac output as well as intra- and extravascular volumes. This study introduces a novel technique for the estimation of recirculatory parameters. A mathematical model based on a dispersion-convection partial differential equation (PDE), derived from the fractal geometry of the vascular tree a...

Now a days most of the researchers are doing lots of work in the area of image compression. Fractal image compression requires lots of mathematical computation to compress an image. Fractal image compression is a recent technique based on the representation of an image by a contractive transform, on the space of images, for which the fixed point is close approximation to the original image. Mai...

Comprehensive model is developed to study the impact of surface roughness on the angular dependence of sputtering yield. Instead of assuming surfaces to be flat or composed of exact self-similar fractals, we developed a new method to describe the surfaces. Random fractal surfaces generated by midpoint displacement algorithm in computer graphics area and Support vector machine algorithm in patte...
