The automation of the visual detection of structural elements and cracks have the potential in the future to greatly improve the post-earthquake safety evaluation of buildings in terms of time and accuracy. In addition, models could be combined with these ...
Both calculated quantities in the paper, fractal dimension and lacunarity respectively, prove high precision as foreteller to classify the glial cells tissue in various brain morphologies. The importance of microglia in neurodegenerative diseases and the i ...
The fractal dimension and lacunarity measurements of neuro-images were leveraged to differentiate between benign, biphasic and lacunarity tissue samples. For various benign and malignant subtypes, using the program developed by the authors, the fractal dim ...
A total number of 1092 embryos, originated from 168 couples that underwent IVF cycles, were analyzed in this study. The embryos were cultivated in a continuous culture and monitored using the time lapse system EmbryoScope. The microscopic images of the fer ...
In order to develop automatic image-based methods for damage evaluation after earthquakes, crack maps need to be evaluated using computer-based algorithms. A common method to link the crack map to a damage state is to compute the fractal dimension of the c ...
In the framework of Fractal Theory of Motion for the Scale Relativity Theory with arbitrary and constant fractal dimensions, dynamics in complex systems associated to the fractal-non-fractal transition are analyzed. Working with the assumption that these d ...
After an earthquake, the residual stiffness and strength of structural elements are typically estimated based on a qualitative visual inspection of cracks that is prone to error. In this paper a new approach is proposed to automatically estimate the update ...
We investigate the plasmonic behavior of Koch snowflake fractal geometries and their possible application as broadband optical antennas. Lithographically defined planar silver Koch fractal antennas were fabricated and characterized with high spatial and sp ...
Socio-economic related properties of a city grow faster than a linear relationship with the population, in a log–log plot, the so-called superlinear scaling. Conversely, the larger a city, the more efficient it is in the use of its infrastructure, leading ...
We introduce a corrective function to compensate errors in contact area computations coming from mesh discretization. The correction is based on geometrical arguments, and apart from the contact area itself requires only one additional quantity to be compu ...
