1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The aim of geometric modeling is to model forms by manipulating or combining well-known shapes such as circles and boxes. In order to be convenient such a model should allow easy control and manipulation of the final shape. When dealing with fractal geometric modeling, the control on ffactal figures is not so easily achieved as with classical smooth ones. The difficult...

Critical biodiversity has been defined as the level of species richness at which communities are most susceptible to disturbance, where even small perturbations resulting from the introduction or extinction of a single species may trigger a mass extinction event. Beyond this threshold, it has been hypothesized that ordered communities with well-defined spatial structure will spontaneously form;...

subsurface drainage systems are used to control the depth of the water table and to reduce or prevent soil salinity. water flow in these systems is described by the boussinesq equation, and the advection-dispersion equation coupled with the boussinesq equation is used to study the solute transport. the objective of this study was to propose a finite difference solution of the advection-dispersi...

PURPOSE Over the past decade, linear and non-linear surface electromyography descriptors for central and peripheral components of fatigue have been developed. In the current study, we tested fractal dimension (FD) and conduction velocity (CV) as myoelectric descriptors of central and peripheral fatigue, respectively. To this aim, we analyzed FD and CV slopes during sustained fatiguing contracti...

According to the theory of deterministic fractal geometry, images can be modeled by deterministic fractal objects which are attractors of sets of two dimensional affine transformations. In this paper, a fractal modeling approach is developed to analyze and model mammographic breast tissue background. We show that general mammographic parenchymal and ductal patterns can be well modeled by a set ...

This study aims to recognize effect of Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) estimation methods for separation of geochemical anomalies based on soil samples using Concentration-Area (C-A) fractal model in Irankuh area, central Iran. Variograms and anisotropic ellipsoid were generated for the Pb and Zn distribution. Thresholds values from the C-A log-log plots based on the e...

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...

Approximation of natural objects (curves, surfaces, or images) with fractal models is an important center of interest for research. The general inverse problem paradigm concerns many application fields and a large variety of studies have been proposed to address it.The most known of them is the fractal image compression method introduced by Jacquin. Generally speaking, these techniques lack of ...

In previous work 24], Fractal Point Processes (FPPs) have been proposed as novel tools for understanding, modeling and analyzing diverse types of self-similar traac behavior. We apply the FPP models in the context of network traac modeling and performance analysis. Two qualitatively diierent fractal data sets (Bellcore Ethernet traces) are characterized by FPP models. Comparison of model-driven...
