A thermodynamical treatment of a massless scalar field (a photon) confined to a fractal spatial manifold leads to an equation of state relating pressure to internal energy, PV(s) = U/d(s), where d(s) is the spectral dimension and V(s) defines the "spectral volume." For regular manifolds, V(s) coincides with the usual geometric spatial volume, but on a fractal this is not necessarily the case. T...

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 ...

we introduce a model for prediction the behavior of electrodes which modified withcarbon nanotubes in a polymer medium. these kinds of polymer composites aredeveloped in recent years, and experimental data for its percolation threshold isavailable. we construct a model based on percolation theory and fractal dimensionsand using experimental percolation threshold for calculating the moments of c...

In this paper, we aim to achieve two specific objectives. The first one is to examine the applicability of the Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) technique in ore grade estimation. Different training algorithms and numbers of hidden neurons are applied to estimate Cu grade of borehole data in the hypogene zone of porphyry copper-gold deposit, Masjed-Daghi, East Azerbaijan Province (Iran). The ef...

The R/S test has been extensively used in testing the long memory of financial time series, but little attentions have been paid on its validity. The paper sets the chemical raw materials styrene price time series as an example, to test the stable of the price series. It indicates that we should give prudent explanation for the R/S test, and then establish the ARFIMA model to determine the data...
