Abstract:
Airborne magnetic field data exhibit downward continued power spectra of the form $1/f sp beta$ (where f is the spatial frequency and $ beta$ is a non-negative real number). This form of spectrum is observed for magnetic data recorded over a range of sampling scales from various areas of the Canadian Shield. Two scaling regimes have been discovered. The first has a $ beta$ value near 3 for wavelengths $ sbsp{ sim}{$25 km. These results suggest a "variable fractal" description of the distribution of near-surface magnetic sources.<br>From a data modelling viewpoint, the magnetic measurements are

Abstract:
The stochastically forced Burgers equation shares some of the same characteristics as the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. Because of this it is sometimes used as a model equation for turbulence. Simulating the stochastically forced Burgers equation with low resolution can be considered as a one dimensional model of a three-dimensional large eddy simulation, and can be used to evaluate subgrid models. Modified versions of subgrid models using the fractal interpolation technique are presented here and tested in low resolution simulations of the stochastically forced Burgers equations.

Abstract:
Multiscaling analysis and cascade simulation techniques, which form part of the more general field of fractals, are introduced as a method for characterising and simulating surface-layer winds, particularly for time scales associated with the energy-containing range. This type of analysis consists of determining the power-law parameter of the spectrum of the data, and the scaling of the statistical moments. These techniques were applied to determine how the statistics depended on the duration (or scale) of the fluctuations in wind speed, the atmospheric conditions, and the topography of the si

Abstract:
The nature of spatial distributions of geological variables such as ore grades is of primary concern when modelling ore bodies and mineral resources. The aim of any mineral resource evaluation process is to determine the location, extent, volume and average grade of that resource by a trade off between maximum confidence in the results and minimum sampling effort. The principal aim of almost every geostatistical modelling process is to predict the spatial variation of one or more geological variables in order to estimate values of those variables at locations that have not been sampled.

Abstract:
The principle of parsimonious modelling of Internet traffic states that a minimal number of descriptors should be used for its characterization. Until early 1990s, the conventional Markovian models for voice traffic had been considered suitable and parsimonious for data traffic as well. Later with the discovery of strong correlations and increased burstiness in Internet traffic, various self-similar count models have been proposed. But, in fact, such models are strictly mono-fractal and applicable at coarse time scales, whereas Internet traffic modelling is about modelling traffic at fine and

The speed and complexity of globalisation and reduction of natural resources on the one hand, and interests of large multinational corporations on the other, necessitates proper management of mineral resources and consumption. The need for scientific research and application of new methodologies and approaches to maximise Net Present Value (NPV) within mining operations is essential. In some cases, drill core logging in the field may result in an inadequate level of information and subsequent poor diagnosis of geological phenomenon which may undermine the delineation or separation of mineralis

Bibliography: p. 208-225.<br>Fractal image compression is a comparatively new technique which has gained considerable attention in the popular technical press, and more recently in the research literature. The most significant advantages claimed are high reconstruction quality at low coding rates, rapid decoding, and "resolution independence" in the sense that an encoded image may be decoded at a higher resolution than the original. While many of the claims published in the popular technical press are clearly extravagant, it appears from the rapidly growing body of published research that frac

Abstract:
The scale-bound view of landsurfaces, being an assemblage of certain landforms, occurring within limited scale ranges, has been challenged by the scale-free characteristics of fractal geometry. This thesis assesses the fractal model by examining the irregularity of landsurface form, for the self-affine behaviour present in fractional Brownian surfaces. Different methods for detecting self-affine behaviour in surfaces are considered and of these the variogram technique is shown to be the most effective. It produces the best results of two methods tested on simulated surfaces, with known fractal

Abstract:
Sedimentation is a fundamental operation in wastewater treatment works. A rational design of sedimentation tanks is currently achieved by plotting iso-percentile (iso-percentage) concentration removal profiles from flocculent settling data. A major drawback of the graphical iso-percentage method is that the iso-percentile lines are often manually interpolated and are mere hand drawn estimations. This is because the settling behaviour of sludge particles is highly non-linear. The manual analytical process is therefore very tedious, inaccurate and subjective. Hence, an optimised design of

The fractal-like finite element method (FFEM) is developed to compute stress intensity factors (SIFs) for isotropic homogeneous and bi-material V-notched plates. The method is semi-analytical, because analytical expressions of the displacement fields are used as global interpolation functions (GIFs) to carry out a transformation of the nodal displacements within a singular region to a small set of generalised coordinates. The concept of the GIFs in reducing the number of unknowns is similar to the concept of the local interpolation functions of a finite element. Therefore, the singularity at a

In everyday situations individuals make decisions. For example, a tourist usually chooses a crowded or recommended restaurant to have dinner. Perhaps it is an individual decision, but the observed pattern of decision-making is a collective phenomenon. Collective behaviour emerges from the local interactions that give rise to a complex pattern at the group level. In our example, the recommendations or simple copying the choices of others make a crowded restaurant even more crowded. The rules of interaction between individuals are important to study.
