Investigation and Application of Fractal Theory in Cement-Based Materials: A Review
Cement-based materials, including cement and concrete, are the most widely used construction materials in the world. In recent years, the investigation and application of fractal theory in cement-based materials have attracted a large amount of attention

Individually optimal choices can be collectively disastrous in COVID-19 disease control
Background The word ‘pandemic’ conjures dystopian images of bodies stacked in the streets and societies on the brink of collapse. Despite this frightening picture, denialism and noncompliance with public health measures are common in the historical ...

Heterogeneity in Vaccinal Immunity to SARS-CoV-2 Can Be Addressed by a Personalized Booster Strategy
SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations were initially shown to substantially reduce risk of severe disease and death. However, pharmacokinetic (PK) waning and rapid viral evolution degrade neutralizing antibody (nAb) binding titers, causing loss of vaccinal protection.

Assouad Dimension and Fractal Geometry [PDF]
The Assouad dimension is a notion of dimension in fractal geometry that has been the subject of much interest in recent years. This book, written by a world expert on the topic, is the first thorough account of the Assouad dimension and its many variants

Vaccines Alone Cannot Slow the Evolution of SARS-CoV-2
The rapid emergence of immune-evading viral variants of SARS-CoV-2 calls into question the practicality of a vaccine-only public-health strategy for managing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It has been suggested that widespread vaccination is necessary to

Photonic Floquet topological insulators in a fractal lattice [PDF]
We present Floquet fractal topological insulators: photonic topological insulators in a fractal-dimensional lattice consisting of helical waveguides. The helical modulation induces an artificial gauge field and leads to a trivial-to-topological phase ...

He’s frequency formula to fractal undamped Duffing equation
Nonlinear oscillation is an increasingly important and extremely interesting topic in engineering. This article completely reviews a simple method proposed by Ji-Huan He and successfully establishes a fractal undamped Duffing equation through the two ...

Fractal derivatives, fractional derivatives and $q$-deformed calculus [PDF]
This work presents an analysis of fractional derivatives and fractal derivatives, discussing their differences and similarities. The fractal derivative is closely connected to Haussdorff's concepts of fractional dimension geometry. The paper distinguishes between the derivative of a function on a fractal domain and the derivative of a fractal function,
