Although there are notable structural abnormalities in the brain associated with psychotic diseases, it is still unclear how these abnormalities relate to clinical presentation. However, the fractal dimension (FD), which offers details on the complex...
PURPOSE: To investigate whether fractal dimension (FD), a retinal trait relating to vascular complexity and a potential "oculomics" biomarker for systemic disease, is applicable to a mixed-age, primary-care population.
Characterizations in terms of fractals are typically employed for systems with complex and multiscale descriptions. A prominent example of such systems is provided by the human brain, which can be idealized as a complex dynamical system made of many ...
After the previous sections on "Fractals: What and Why?," the last section of this book covers the software tools necessary to perform computational fractal-based analysis, with special emphasis on its applications into the neurosciences. The use of ...

This article presents the geometrical-fractal text-tree model of speech and writing, the development of which is part of a project with the long-term goal to answer the question whether Artificial Intelligence and the corresponding human intelligence...
Batteries with conformal shape and multiple functionalities could provide new degrees of freedom in the design of robotic devices. For example, the ability to provide both load bearing and energy storage can increase the payload and extend the operat...
Essential genes are required for the viability of an organism. Accurate and rapid identification of new essential genes is of substantial theoretical interest to synthetic biology and has practical applications in biomedicine. Fractals provide facili...

Gonarthrosis is a degenerative disease that affects mainly older people, but whose incidence has increased significantly in the last decade in population under the age of 65. The main objective of this study was developing a predictive model of synov...
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven membrane-spanning proteins and regulate many important physiological processes, such as vision, neurotransmission, immune response and so on. GPCRs-related pathways are the targets of a large number of ma...
