Exploration of the Complex Similarity of Urban System Components

Similar to countless natural phenomena, cities have inherent orders that can be properly captured and expressed through a complex analysis of their components. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this work offers a ring-buffer fractal approach to a ...

Decentralized Self-Selection of Swarm Trajectories: From Dynamical Systems to Robotic Implementation

Francesco Mondada, Max-Olivier Hongler, Guillaume Adrien Sartoretti, Marcelo Elias de Oliveira

In this paper, we present a distributed control strategy, enabling agents to converge onto and travel along a consensually selected curve among a class of closed planar curves. Individual agents identify the number of neighbors within a finite circular sen ...

Analysis of fractal electrodes for efficient neural stimulation

Laleh Golestanirad

Planar electrodes are increasingly used in therapeutic neural stimulation techniques such as functional electrical stimulation, epidural spinal cord stimulation and cortical stimulation. Recently, optimized electrode geometries have been shown to increase ...

Fractal temporal organization of motricity is altered in major depression

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu

Objective: Motor changes in major depression (MD) may represent potential markers of treatment response. Physiological rhythms (heart rate/gait cycle/hand movements) have been recently shown to be neither random nor regular but to display a fractal tempora ...

Towards the Glass Transition in Vibrated Granular Matter

Alessandro Luigi Sellerio

Granular materials are large sets of macroscopic particles that interact solely via contact forces. The static behavior depends on the contact network and on the surface friction forces between grains; when they are set in motion (typically by vibrations) ...

Apollonian packings as physical fractals

Francesco Varrato, Giuseppe Foffi

The Apollonian packings (APs) of spheres are fractals that result from a space-filling procedure. We discuss the finite size effects for finite intervals s is an element of [s(min), s(max)] between the largest and the smallest sizes of the filling spheres. ...

Quantification of multiple twinning in face centred cubic materials

Cyril Cayron

Grain boundary engineering (GBE) aims at optimizing the properties of face centred cubic materials with low stacking fault energy by creating a high content of special twin boundaries. Quantifying twinning and its parameters, such as the twin related domai ...

Multi-parametric Evaluation of Sit-to-Stand and Stand-to-Sit Transitions in Elderly People

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Raluca Lidia Ganea

The aim of this study was to extract multi-parametric measures characterizing different features of sit-to-stand (Si-St) and stand-to-sit (St-Si) transitions in older persons, using a single inertial sensor attached to the chest. Investigated parameters we ...

Altered branching patterns of Purkinje cells in mouse model for cortical development disorder

Giorgio Margaritondo

Disrupted cortical cytoarchitecture in cerebellum is a typical pathology in reeler. Particularly interesting are structural problems at the cellular level: dendritic morphology has important functional implication in signal processing. Here we describe a c ...
