abstract purpose - the aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...

Recent studies by mathematicians and physicists have identified a close association between the distribution of prime numbers and quantum mechanical laws governing the subatomic dynamics of quantum systems such as the electron or the photon. It is now recognised that Cantorian fractal space-time fluctuations characterise dynamical systems of all space-time scales ranging from the microscopic su...

In this paper, we implemented both sequential and parallel version of fractal image compression algorithms using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) programming model for parallelizing the program in Graphics Processing Unit for medical images, as they are highly similar within the image itself. There are several improvement in the implementation of the algorithm as well. Fractal image c...

For the purpose of understanding fingering patterns, we propose a simple model system composed of splitting elements where we regard a tip of each finger as a basic dynamical unit. Numerical simulations of the model reproduce turbulent states, fractal and tree-like structures and spatiotemporal intermittency which are all quite similar in behavior to real systems. keywords: fingering patterns, ...

The kinetics of the pressure induced hydration of modellipid membranes is studied in terms ofthe Avrami-Kolmogorov model and the fractal-like chemical reaction kinetics concept. As a general result, the stretched exponential relaxation function of the

Suppose you had no ideas what fractals were, and you were asked to model objects like clouds, grass, plants, etc.. What else could you use to define the geometries of these objects? Although polynomials can easily define objects with smooth geometry, they are pretty useless if you want to model complex objects like grass or plants, since those possess infinitely non smooth, highly structured ge...

Synthetic dyes are extensively used in many industrial applications like textile, leather and cosmetics. The release of various harmful dyes from these industries into the environment has attracted great attention worldwide in recent years. Biosorption is a very effective dye removal technique from aqueous system. In this research, the biosorption performance of cone of red pine for C.I. Basic ...

Heat transfer by electromagnetic radiation is one of the common methods of energy transfer between objects. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we have studied the effect of particle arrangement in the transmission of radiative heat in many-body systems. In order to show the effect of the structure morphology on the collective properties, the radiative heat transfer is studied and the re...

The main goal of this research work was to detect the different Cu mineralized zones in the Sungun porphyry deposit in NW Iran using the Spectrum-Volume (S-V) fractal modeling based on the sub-surface data for this deposit. This operation was carried out on an estimated Cu block model based on a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) using the C++ and MATLAB programing. The S-V log-log plot was gene...
