In this paper we describe a new multiscale model for char acterizing positive valued and long range dependent data The model uses the Haar wavelet transform and puts a con straint on the wavelet coe cients to guarantee positivity which results in a swift O N algorithm to synthesize N point data sets We elucidate our model s ability to capture the covariance structure of real data study its mult...

We present measurements of the fractal dimensions associated to the spin clusters for Z 4 and Z 5 spin models. We also attempted to measure similar fractal dimensions for the generalised Fortuin Kastelyn (FK) clusters in these models but we discovered that these clusters do not percolate at the critical point of the model under consideration. These results clearly mark a difference in the behav...

Experiments on the diffusion-limited corrosion of porous copper clusters in thin gap cells containing cupric chloride are reported. By carefully comparing corrosion front velocities and concentration profiles obtained by phase-shift interferometry with theoretical predictions, it is demonstrated that this process is well-described by a one-dimensional mean-field model for the generic reaction A...

conclusions: using n-butanolic c. coum extract in combination with ciprofloxacin offers a novel strategy to control biofilm-based infections caused by p. aeruginosa. results: the ability of biofilm formation by p. aeruginosa strains was quantitatively confirmed. the pcr method confirmed the existence of cup a gene (172 bp) in all studied strains. saponin content of the n-butanolic c. coum extra...

The author reviews visual perception studies showing that fractal patterns possess an aesthetic quality based on their visual complexity. Specifically, people display an aesthetic preference for patterns with mid-range fractal dimensions, irrespective of the method used to generate them. The author builds upon these studies by presenting preliminary research indicating that mid-range fractals a...

A grid comb model is a generalization of the well known comb model, and it consists of N backbones. For N=1 the system reduces to the comb model where subdiffusion takes place with the transport exponent 1/2. We present an exact analytical evaluation of the transport exponent of anomalous diffusion for finite and infinite number of backbones. We show that for an arbitrarily large but finite num...

In this paper, a fractal photonic crystal fiber (F-PCF) based on the 1st iteration of Koch fractal configuration for optical communication systems is presented. Complex structure of fractal shape is build up through replication of a base shape. Nowadays, fractal shapes are used widely in antenna topics and its usage in PCF has not been investigated yet. The purpose of this research is to compar...

In this paper we investigate some of the mathematical properties of meiotic recombination. Working within the framework of a genetic model with n loci, where alpha alleles are possible at each locus, we find that the proportion of all possible diploid parental genotypes that can produce a particular haploid gamete is exp[-n log(alpha(2)/[2alpha-1])]. We show that this proportion connects recomb...
