AIMS In tissue counter analysis (TCA) digital images of complex histologic sections are dissected into elements of equal size and shape, and digital information comprising grey level, colour and texture features is calculated for each element. In this study we assessed the feasibility of TCA for the quantitative description of amount and also of distribution of immunostained material. METHODS...

In this paper, single and dual band EBG structures for wider bandwidth are proposed. In each of the discussed EBGs, a metallic patch of regular geometry is chosen for the unit element. The patch is further modified by cutting slots to get extra inductance and capacitance which results into lower cut-off frequency and larger bandwidth. The proposed EBG structures are compared with the standard m...

Recently, telecommunication systems have been requiring more advanced features in the design and operation. Among others a smaller size of devices, which can be integrated for multiple mobile communication systems, applied in one user’s device board, such as PDA or smart phone. Moreover, the cost of mass production should be minimized as much as possible. To meet part of that request, the anten...

The permeability of fractal porous aggregates with realistic three-dimensional structure is investigated theoretically using model aggregates composed of identical spherical primary particles. Synthetic aggregates are generated by several techniques, including a lattice-based method, simulation of aggregation by differential settling and turbulent shear, and the specification of simple cubic st...

The concept of derivative coordinate functions proved useful in the formulation of analytic fractal functions to represent smooth symmetric binary fractal trees [1]. In this paper we introduce a new geometry that defines the fractal space around these fractal trees. We present the canonical and degenerate form of this fractal space and extend the fractal geometrical space to R explicitly and R ...

Fractal behavior is scale-invariant and widely characterized by fractal dimension. However, the cor-respondence between them is that fractal behavior uniquely determines a fractal dimension while a fractal dimension can be related to many possible fractal behaviors. Therefore, fractal behavior is independent of the fractal generator and its geometries, spatial pattern, and statistical propertie...

In this paper we address two issues in modeling natural terrain using fractal geometry: estimation of fractal dimension, and fractal surface reconstruction. For estimation of fractal dimension, we extend the fractal Brownian function approach to accommodate irregularly sampled data, and we develop methods for segmenting sets of points exhibiting self-similarity over only certain scales. For fra...

In this paper we have defined two functions that have been used to construct different fractals having fractal dimensions between 1 and 2. More precisely, we can say that one of our defined functions produce the fractals whose fractal dimension lies in [1.58, 2) and rest function produce the fractals whose fractal dimension lies in (1, 1.58]. Also we tried to calculate the amount of increment o...
