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...

the aim of this study was to identify various sulfidic mineralized zones in the ghare-tappeh cu deposit (nw iran) based on geo-electrical data including induced polarization (ip) and resistivity (rs) using the concentration-volume (c-v) and number-size (n-s) fractal models. the fractal models were used to separate high and moderate sulfidic zones from low sulfidic zones and barren wall rocks. b...

introduction: soil hydraulic conductivity is considered as one of the most important hydraulic properties in water and solutionmovement in porous media. in recent years, variousmodels as pedo-transfer functions, fractal models and scaling technique are used to estimate the soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks). fractal models with two subset of two (solid and pore) and three phases (solid,...

This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the concentration-number (C-N) fractal model for discrimination of soil horizon regarding the depth distribution profile. In this regard, soil parameters such as pH, organic carbon content, calcareous mineral content, electrical conductivity and available phosphorus of Ziarat forestland in Golestan Province, north of Iran, has been investigated. The...

The most significant aspect of a geochemical exploration program is to define and separate the anomalous values from the background. In the past decades, geochemical anomalies have been identified by means of various methods. Most of the conventional statistical methods aiming at defining the geochemical concentration thresholds for separating anomalies from the background have limited the effi...

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 fractal degree of adsorption on the multi-walled carbon nanotube has been investigated. The fractal-like Langmuir kinetics model has been used to obtain the fractal degree of ion adsorption on multi-walled carbon nanotube. The behavior of the fractal-like kinetics equation was compared with some famous rate equations like Langmuir, pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order equations. It is...

Gear’s normal contact stiffness played an important role in the mechanical equipment. In this paper, the M-B fractal model is modified and the contact surface coefficient is put forward to set up the fractal model, considering the influence of friction, which could be used to calculate accurately the involute arc cylindrical gears’ normal contact stiffness based on the fractal theory and Hertz ...
