Atypical EEG Responses to Nonverbal Emotionally Charged Stimuli in Children with ASD by Galina V. Portnova, Aleksandra V. Maslennikova

“…Sounds of crying and laughter induced an atypical EEG response in children with ASD, with no change in alpha-band’s power and frequency observed in them; this was contrary to the observation in TD children. The decrease in the fractal dimension detected in children with ASD only for sounds of crying and laughter correlated with the accuracy of assessment of these stimuli.…”

A Novel Four-Wing Hyperchaotic Complex System and Its Complex Modified Hybrid Projective Synchronization with Different Dimensions by Jian Liu, Shutang Liu, Fangfang Zhang

“…Some dynamic properties of the system have been described including Lyapunov exponents, fractal dimensions, and Poincaré maps. More importantly, we focus on a new type of synchronization method of modified hybrid project synchronization with complex transformation matrix (CMHPS) for different dimensional hyperchaotic and chaotic complex systems with complex parameters, where the drive and response systems can be asymptotically synchronized up to a desired complex transformation matrix, not a diagonal matrix. …”

Characteristic Changes of Scale Invariance of Seismicity Prior to Large Earthquakes: A Constructive Review by Qiang Li, Gui-Ming Xu

“…Our suggestion is that when people try to obtain the precursory information before large earthquakes or to study the fractal property of seismicity by means of the previous scale invariance methods, the strengths and weaknesses of these methods have to be taken into consideration for the purpose of increasing research efficiency. …”

Half-line kink scattering in the ϕ 4 model with Dirichlet boundary conditions by Jairo S. Santos, Fabiano C. Simas, Adalto R. Gomes

“…The simulations reveal a rich variety of phenomena in the field dynamics, such as the formation of a kink-antikink pair, the generation of oscillons by the boundary perturbations, and the interaction between these objects and the boundary, which causes the emergence of boundary-induced resonant scatterings (for example, oscillon-boundary bound states and kink generation by oscillon-boundary collision) founded into complex fractal structures. Linear perturbation analysis was applied to interpret some aspects of the scattering process. …”

Experimenting with twilight learnings and twilight writings for community engagement by Silvia Mugnaini, Åsa Ståhl, Leah Ireland

“…In this article, we show that a reflective community can start to emerge through sharing experiences and knowledges in a confined space that is simultaneously connected to society in a fractal scaling (O’Brien et al. 2023) way. Some of the participants grew so fond of reflecting together on hope, allies, uncertainties, pain and frustrations, that they continued to build the community by articulating themselves through follow-up interviews and through writing together in different ways. …”

Effect of Recycled Bagasse on Cracking Behavior of Clay Materials by Wenlong Ma, Wenbo Liu, Yuanhang Wang, Binbin Yang

“…The cracks were extracted and calculated by digital image processing technology, and the crack characteristics of samples with different bagasse contents were studied by fractal dimension and crack entropy. The results show that when moisture content maintains 34%, the clay material forms only one main crack without bagasse, forms no crack with bagasse content of 9%, and forms a crack network with the bagasse content of 3%. …”

A multiscale model of the bone marrow and hematopoiesis by Ariosto Silva, Alexander R. A. Anderson, Robert Gatenby

“…Our goal is the development of a spatially-explicit in silico model of the bone marrow to understand both its normal function and the evolutionary dynamics that govern the emergence of bone marrow malignancy.Here we introduce a multiscale computational model of the bone marrow that incorporates three distinct spatial scales, cell, hematopoietic subunit, whole marrow.Our results, using parameter estimates from literature, recapitulates normal bone marrow function and suggest an explanation for the fractal-like structure of trabeculae and sinuses in the marrow, which would be an optimization of the hematopoietic function in order to maximize the number of mature blood cells produced daily within the volumetric restrictions of the marrow.…”
