Fractal Model of Transdermal Drug Delivery
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2018 Skin, separating the vital organs of a human body, is a desirable route for drug delivery. However, the intact skin is normally permeable only for drug molecules with a low molecular weight. The stratum corneum (SC), being the outermost layer of the skin

Energies, 2018 In this paper, a simple and efficient fractal-based approach is presented for capturing the effects of initial void ratio on the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) in a deformable unsaturated soil. In terms of testing results, the SWCCs (expressed by

Determination of the Fractal Dimension of CO2 Adsorption Isotherms on Shale Samples
Geofluids, 2022 The fractal theory has been widely applied to the analysis of gas adsorption isotherms, which are used for the pore structure characterization in unconventional reservoirs. Fractal dimension is a key parameter that can indicate the complexity of the pore

Urban growth: Modelling street network growth in Manhattan (1642–2008) and Barcelona (1260–2008)
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2022 In this paper, we argue for the case that cities are self-organised complex systems by presenting evidence on positive and reinforcing feedback mechanisms and robust global trends that characterise historical growth patterns.

CoRRModularization is a cornerstone of computer science, abstracting complex functions into atomic building blocks. In this paper, we introduce a new level of modularization by abstracting generative models into atomic generative modules. Analogous to fractals in mathematics, our method constructs a new type of generative model by recursively invoking ...

Fractal spline as a model of fractal functions for fractal signals generation [PDF]
Computer Research and Modeling, 2013 This paper presents a method for obtaining fractal signals using fractal splines similar to signals generated by fractal functions. The hypothesis about the identity of discrete fractal functions and linear fractal splines is justified. There are considered the features of planning matrix calculation of cumulative fractal spline, examples of generated ...

Numerical Simulation of Rockfill Materials Based on Fractal Theory
Applied Sciences, 2021 With the use of the particle flow code in two dimensions, a fractal model is established with the number of particles of different particle fractions used as the statistics to study the fractal characteristics of particle size distribution.

, 2007 Active Shape Models often require a considerable number of training samples and landmark points on each sample, in order to be efficient in practice. We introduce the Fractal Active Shape Models, an extension of Active Shape Models using fractal interpolation, in order to surmount these limitations.
