This paper applies a new traffic model, iterated function systems (IFS) for network traffic modelling, to explore computer network behaviour and analyse network performance. IFS model can generate various self-similar data flows according to a certain character. In the light of the experiments, we have discovered interesting phenomena. It is found that increasing the routers’ processing capacit...

Planners and designers are interested in replicating biospheric landscape patterns to reclaim surface mines to match existing natural landscape patterns. One approach that shows promise is the use of fractal geometry to generate biospheric landscape patterns. While the measurement of the actual fractal dimension of a landscape can be difficult, a box-counting method was developed at AgroCampus ...

Mineral resource classification is an important step in mineral exploration and mining engineering. In this study, copper molybdenum resources were classified using a combination of the Turning Bands Simulation (TBSIM) Concentration–Volume (C–V) fractal model based on Conditional Coefficient Variation (CCV) for Cu realizations Masjed Daghi porphyry deposit, NW Iran. research, 100 scenarios loca...

Atmospheric flows exhibit fractal fluctuations and inverse power law form for power spectra indicating an eddy continuum structure for the selfsimilar fluctuations. A general systems theory for fractal fluctuations developed by the author is based on the simple visualisation that large eddies form by space-time integration of enclosed turbulent eddies, a concept analogous to Kinetic Theory of G...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t This paper describes a digital watermarking scheme based on fractal codification for 8-bit gray scale images; it replaces range blocks by modified blocks according to the watermark bit being embedded. The main contribution of this work is a decrease in the distortion generated by the watermark embedding in the carrier image compared to the reference scheme ...

The design of living beings is not only a matter of molecular biology but also of geometry and physics. This was once more demonstrated with a biophysical model by G. B. West et al. (1) that had been fine-tuned to predict the famous scaling law of metabolism (2), namely a 3/4 power relation between body mass and energy consumption. While properties and predictions of the model are remarkable, a...

The capacity of a wireless network with fractal and hierarchical social communications is studied in this paper. Specifically, we mathematically formulate the self-similarity of a fractal wireless network by a power-law degree distribution P (k), and we capture the direct social connection feature between two nodes with degree k1 and k2 by a joint probability distribution P (k1, k2). Firstly, f...
