abstract purpose - the aim of this paper is to describe the population ecology theory through fractal thinking, an emergent human operating system that is creative, adaptive, healthy, and evolutionary; furthermore, a parallel is drawn between the population ecology model and the fractal structure. top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...

abstract the limitation of water sources in most places all over the world, especially in arid and semi-arid lands is an important issue for those who live in these areas. many governments have dedicated their efforts toward finding new water resources to obtain water. fog and cap clouds harvesting are one of the candidate methods to produce pure water. many countries including chile, peru, ecu...

Gear’s normal contact stiffness played an important role in the mechanical equipment. In this paper, the M-B fractal model is modified and the contact surface coefficient is put forward to set up the fractal model, considering the influence of friction, which could be used to calculate accurately the involute arc cylindrical gears’ normal contact stiffness based on the fractal theory and Hertz ...

spatial analysis of aeolian landforms by fractal theory (case study: ardestan rig) abstract natural sciences face to a great revolution, nowadays. now, scientists think the world as a collection of complex systems which prediction of consequences of this complex systems is so difficult. in this situation the systems have rotational act so irregularly lead to regular and regularly lead to irregu...

in this paper we define weak $f$-contractions on a‎ ‎metric space into itself by extending $f$-contractions‎ ‎introduced by d‎. ‎wardowski (2012) and provide some fixed point‎ ‎results in complete metric spaces and in partially ordered complete ‎generalized metric spaces‎. ‎some relationships between weak‎ ‎$f$-contractions and $fi$-contractions are highlighted‎. ‎we also ‎give some application...

This paper puts forward the concept of fractal company is in the process of online shopping. According to the characteristics of the network shopping, the paper establishes the mathematical model of fractal clustering, and uses the fractal dimension to describe and depict Fractal Company. Online shopping is actually the management of the entire supply chain. Based on similar structure of fracta...

This paper study the application of wavelet transform and fractal theory in image coding. The image coding based on wavelet transform has been studied firstly, Then, the paper make a research of fractal theory counterpart. After that, this paper research the hybrid compression coding based on wavelet transform and fractal theory, also make simulation experiment of three image coding ways mentio...

we introduce a model for prediction the behavior of electrodes which modified withcarbon nanotubes in a polymer medium. these kinds of polymer composites aredeveloped in recent years, and experimental data for its percolation threshold isavailable. we construct a model based on percolation theory and fractal dimensionsand using experimental percolation threshold for calculating the moments of c...
