that co-regulated genes are able to co-localize in what is referred to as “gene kissing” [1]. The localization of genes arises from the Brownian motion/constrained diffusion and directed movement of chromosomes [1]. It is important to note that the fractal and dynamic loop models reiterate the importance of loop formation in nuclear organization, including compaction, territory establishment, and transcriptional regulation [1]. Another important factor affecting gene regulation is the…
elastic light scattering in case the particles are larger than the incident wavelength of light. Elastic light scattering (ELS) is a powerful technique to characterize nanoparticles. The particle morphology, such as aggregate size, gyration radius, and fractal dimension can be estimated by ELS \cite{Sorensen}. Many researchers have used ELS to determine the soot aggregate morphology in combustion processes \cite{Oltmann2010516, Oh1997937,…
This painting is reminiscent of the fractal nature of the world. As a scientist, it reminds me of the beauty and complexity of physical matter. While a rock seems to be a complete entity, looking closer allows you to see individual grains. Looking at those grains under a microscope and you…
Nicholson Baker’s narrative style within The Mezzanine fractures and fractals around the inexhaustibly mundane yet intricate workings of our everyday lives. He shows the power of articulating and expanding upon each seemingly trivial urinal cake or social nicety that our main character, Howie, encounters. Strangely enough, this painful degree of detail calls attention to the size of our thoughts and how our thoughts maneuver against the linear perception of time. Time is flexible: it can be…
Pythagoras was born on 570 B.C. on an island in Samos, Greece. His father was Mnesarchus, a merchant, and his mother was Pythais. He also had two or three brothers, and historians believe he married a woman named Theano. As a child, Pythagoras travelled with his father to various locations. Although not much is known of his childhood, it is known that he had an interest in poetry, philosophy, music, and most importantly, mathematics. Pythagoras was educated in a multitude of places, including…
cosmology, he appeals to the examples of non-Hausdorff manifolds and Cantor’s threefold concept of the finite, the transfinite, and the infinite in mathematics and to the non-locality of quantum mechanics. Thereby, he renders co-presence as an infinite fractal-like character. To be more specific, gleaning from Pannenberg the idea of the dialectical mutual indwelling of the finite and the infinite, based on Hegel’s concept of infinity, Russell specifies the notion of infinite as the…
Peyton Feuer ARHS 1010-03 Lucia Abramovich March 23, 2018 Court of the Lions Towering over the city of Granada, Spain, sits what is left of the Alhambra, a palace left over from the Nasrid dynasty in Islamic Spain. The palace is built like many Islamic palaces in that each of its pavilions and small buildings surrounded one or more central courtyards, the most famous of which being the Court of the Lions. The Court of the Lions is follows the style of the Alhambra itself in that it is…
4.6.3 Corona spray pyrolysis: The limitation of the pneumatic spray pyrolysis is the low deposition efficiency, defined as the ratio of deposited to the supplied atom. The efficiency is increased by 80% by corona chamber due to control of the aerosol transport towards substrate (W. Siefert 1984;W.M. Sears 1988). Corona spray controls the trajectories of the individual atoms as long as contact with the substrate surface. Here, nitrogen used as the carrier gas to the aerosol mist delivered to the…
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In order to investigate the performance of SFSA and ISFSA, simulation is carried out to eight test systems with and without integration of renewables. MATLAB 7.8 is the solution platform and the hardware configuration is Intel core i5 processor with 2GHz speed and 4 GB RAM. Parameter Selection of SFSA As SFSA is a heuristic method, it also requires optimal tuning parameter to discover global optima solution. In order to investigate best optimal tuning parameter of SFSA,…
Any discussion on the relationship between science and sensory art is inevitably conditioned by the specific meanings and associations that each term has come to acquire. During earlier periods in which ‘science’ meant a systematic body of knowledge constructed on rational principles, and ‘art’ referred to an activity requiring the steady acquisition of skill, the fields of science and art were not automatically regarded as the polar opposites that they have tended to become in the modern…
