Extracting Fractal Features for Analyzing Protein Structure

چکیده
This paper is concerned with the development of a computational methodology based on fractal geometry for determining 3D structure of protein with imagery projection operations. In this investigation, the density-map image is a 2D projection of the 3D electron density map according to its depth of the density distribution along the projection direction. We extract fractal features of the density-map image in a region and use these features to look for candidate regions with similar patterns of density-map. We analyze its fractal signatures for determining 3D pattern of regions of density distribution. This contribution presents preliminary results of such a study, wherein the protein surface was assumed to be a fractal, and computed fractal feature (fractal dimension and fractal signature) were analyzed and found to possess fairly reasonable pattern for improving the discrimination abilities of the protein structure.

Combining spectral and fractal features for emotion recognition on Electroencephalographic signals
Recent studies have attempted to recognize emotions by extracting spectral and fractal features from electroencephalographic signals; however, up to now none of them have combined these two features to recognize emotions. This paper aims at providing a comparison between an accuracy rate of an approach that recognizes emotions by extracting both spectral and fractal features with that of those ...
متن کاملExploring Flow Fields Using Fractal Analysis of Field Lines
We present a novel technique for analyzing the geometry of streamlines representing large scale flow fields produced in scientific simulations. We introduce the box counting ratio, a metric related to the Kolmogorov capacity or box counting dimension, for quantifying geometric complexity of streamlines (or streamline segments). We utilize this metric to drive a visual analytic framework for ext...

In this work, SiO2 –ZrO2 mixed oxides was prepared by the polymeric sol–gel route. The characterization of pore structure, which determines the permeation process of membrane, is of great importance. So far, most investigations have focused on such pore structure as specific surface area and pore size distribution, but the surface fractal, the important parameter reflecting the roughness of por...

متن کاملFractal properties from 2D-curvature on multiple scales
Basic properties of 2D-nonlinear scale-space representations of images are considered. First, local-energy filters are used to estimate the Hausdorff dimension, , of images. A new fractal dimension, , defined as a property of 2D-curvature representations on multiple scales, is introduced as a natural extension of traditional fractal dimensions, and it is shown that the two types of fractal dime...
