Abstract We analyze the multifractal decomposition of Moran fractals using Olsen Multifractal Measure (OMM). show that this measure is non-singular when Halsey’s partition function takes value 1, result has two consequences, one them defines mass τ ( q ), other it also a statistical ν in terms probability vector P ). The Hausdorff dimension f ) concentration set equal with Holder exponent evalu...

Moran had the vision to realize that the core of a medical school must be teaching units with whole-time academic staff. Teaching by part-time clinicians, of whom he was one, was no longer enough. In his determination to push this idea through, and in the money he raised, he served his medical school well. He became Churchill's doctor soon after he became prime minister and remained more or les...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Alzheimer's disease is a common cause of dementia and identifying possible spatial patterns of mortality due to this disease may enable preventive actions. The objective of this study was to identify spatial distribution patterns of mortality due to Alzheimer's disease in the state of São Paulo. DESIGN AND SETTING Ecological and exploratory study conducted in all municip...

We present a rigorous construction and generalization of the multifractal decomposition for Moran fractals with intinite product measure. The generalization is specilied by a system of nonnegative weights in the partition sum. All the usual (smooth) properties of thef(a) theory are recovered for the case that the weights are equal to unity. The generalized spectrum, !(a, r~), is invariant to a ...

Land surface temperature and fractional vegetation coverage (LST/FVC) space is a classical model for estimating evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and drought monitoring based on remote sensing. One of the key issues in its utilization is to determine its boundaries, i.e., the dry and wet edges. In this study, we revisited and compared three methods that were presented by Moran et al. (1994), L...

Evidence for synchronous fluctuations of spatially separated populations is ubiquitous in the literature, including accounts within and across taxa. Among the few mechanisms explaining this phenomenon is the Moran effect, whereby independent populations are synchronized by spatially correlated environmental disturbances. The body of research on the Moran effect predominantly assumes that enviro...
