BACKGROUND Longitudinal analyses of participants with a history of lateral ankle sprain are lacking. This investigation combined measures of inter-joint coordination and stabilometry to evaluate eyes-open (condition 1) and eyes-closed (condition 2) static unilateral stance performance in a group of participants, 6-months after they sustained an acute, first-time lateral ankle sprain in comparis...

This paper seeks to check the validity of a hypothesis known as the “apparent fractal conjecture” (Ribeiro 1999: gr-qc/9909093), which states that the observed fractal structure of large-scale distribution of galaxies arises when some observational quantities, selected by their relevance in fractal characterization, are calculated along the past light cone. Since general relativity states that ...

The possibility to constrain fractal space dimensionality from Astrophysics and other areas is briefly reviewed. Using data from FIRAS instrument aboard COBE satellite and assuming space dimensionality to be 3 + ǫ, we calculate ǫ = −(0.957 ± 0.006) × 10 and an absolute temperature 2.726 ± 0.003 × 10 K by fitting the cosmic microwave background radiation spectrum to Planck’s radiation distributi...

Antenna Miniaturization Using Fractals Richa Garg, AP ECE Deptt., [email protected], J.C.D.C.O.E., Sirsa ABSTRACTThe use of fractal geometry in designing antenna has been a resent topic of interest. Fractal shape has their own unique characteristics that the improved antenna performance can be achieved without degrading the antenna properties. Modern telecommunication system requires antenn...

Highly nonlinear behaviour of a system of discrete sites on a lattice is observed when a specific feedback loop is introduced into models employing quantum cellular automata [1] or their real-valued analogues. It is shown that the combination of two operations, i.e. i) enhancement of a site’s value when fulfilling a feedback condition and ii) normalization of the system after each time step, pr...

TARGET. The purpose of this work is to improve the method vibration control active part a power transformer by fractal analysis its signal. Fractal magnitude-time characteristics quantitative assessment degree "jagged" signal transformer. For assessment, coefficient (FAC) was introduced based on determination dimension Hausdorff-Besikovich method. To test developed application, non-contact lase...

The fractal nature of electromagnetic radiation induced by uniaxial and triaxial rock fracture is considered. Both the well-known Gutenberg-Richter-type and the Benioff strain-release relationship, for earthquakes and starquakes, are shown to extend to the microscale (millimeters-centimeters). Results show that both the b value of the Gutenberg-Richter-type law and the slope of the Benioff stra...
