Characterizing Growth and Form of Fractal Cities with Allometric Scaling Exponents
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2010 Fractal growth is a kind of allometric growth, and the allometric scaling exponents can be employed to describe growing fractal phenomena such as cities. The spatial features of the regular fractals can be characterized by fractal dimension. However, for

Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2019 In population dynamics, mathematical models often contain too many parameters to be easily testable. A way to reliably estimate parameters for a broad range of systems would help us obtain clearer predictions from theory. In this paper, we examine how the allometric scaling of a number of biological quantities with animal mass may be useful to ...

Evolving urban allometric scaling law of the COVID-19 epidemic in the United Kingdom
Journal of Urban ManagementInfectious diseases depend on intensified social intercourse within large cities, resulting in a super-linear allometric scaling law with city size. But how this scaling relationship changes throughout an evolving pandemic is seldom studied and remains ...

Annals of Forest Research, 2013 Tree allometric relationships are likely to be influenced by species tolerance to shade, nutrient availability and plant ontogenetic origin. The aim of this paper was to test to what extent these factors affect the scaling exponents of two allometric ...

Fractal physiology and the fractional calculus: a perspective
Frontiers in Physiology, 2010 This paper presents a restricted overview of Fractal Physiology focusing on the complexity of the human body and the characterization of that complexity through fractal measures and their dynamics, with fractal dynamics being described by the fractional ...

A model for allometric scaling of mammalian metabolism with ambient heat loss
Integrative Medicine Research, 2016 Background: Allometric scaling, which represents the dependence of biological traits or processes on body size, is a long-standing subject in biological science.

Metabolic scaling: exploring the relation between metabolic rate and body size
Advances in Physiology EducationWe present an alternative to the traditional classroom lecture on the topics of metabolic scaling, allometric relationships between metabolic rate (MR) and body size, and reasons for rejecting Rubner’s surface “law,” concepts that students have described
