Ultra low frequency-ULF (1 Hz or lower), kHz and MHz electromagnetic (EM) anomalies were recorded prior to the L'Aquila catastrophic earthquake (EQ) that occurred on April 6, 2009. The detected followed this temporal scheme. (i) MHZ EM March 26, 2009 2, emerged April, 4 ULF anomaly was continuously from 29, up "Are EQs predictable?" is a question hotly debated in science community. Its answer begs for another question: there credible EQ precursors?". Despite fairly abundant circumstantial...
Ultra low frequency, kHz and MHz electromagnetic anomalies were recorded prior to the L'Aquila catastrophic earthquake that occurred on April 6, 2009. The main aims of this contribution are: (i) To suggest a procedure for designation detected EM as seismogenic ones. We do not expect be possible provide succinct solid definition pre-seismic emission. Instead, we attempt, through multidisciplinary analysis, elements definition. (ii) link with equivalent last stages preparation process. (iii)...
Abstract Softness is an essential mechanical feature of macromolecular particles such as polymer-grafted nanocolloids, polyelectrolyte networks, cross-linked microgels well block copolymer and dendrimer micelles. Elasticity individual directly controls their swelling, wetting adsorption behaviour, aggregation self-assembly structural rheological properties suspensions. Here we use numerical simulations self-consistent field theory to study the deformation behaviour a single spherical polymer...
Self-similar systems are characterized by continuous scale invariance and, in response, the existence of power laws.However, a significant number exhibits discrete (DSI) which turn leads to logperiodic corrections scaling that decorate pure law.Here, we present results search log-periodic squares D st index increments taken as proxies energy dissipation rate magnetosphere.We show time series exhibit DSI and discuss consequence this feature, well possible implications on space weather...
Experiments show that polymeric nanoparticles often self-assemble into several non-close-packed lattices in addition to the face-centered cubic lattice. Here, we explore theoretically possibility observed phase sequences may be associated with softness of particles, which are modeled as elastic spheres interacting upon contact. The described by two finite-deformation theories elasticity, modified Saint-Venant-Kirchhoff model and neo-Hookean model. We determine range indentations where...
Microemulsions, mixtures of oil, water, and surfactant, are thermodynamically stable. Unlike conventional emulsions, microemulsions form spontaneously, have a monodisperse droplet size that can be controlled by adjusting the surfactant concentration, do not degrade with time. To make microemulsions, judicious choice molecules must made, which significantly limits their potential use. Nanoparticle surfactants, on other hand, promising alternative because surface chemistry needed to them bind...
Statistical methods, including block entropy based approaches, have already been used in the study of long-range features genomic sequences seen as symbol series, either considering full alphabet four nucleotides or binary purine pyrimidine character set. Here we explore alternation short protein-coding segments with long noncoding spacers entire chromosomes, focusing on scaling properties entropy. In previous studies, it has shown that sizes follow power-law-like distributions most...
Repeats or Transposable Elements (TEs) are highly repeated sequence stretches, present in virtually all eukaryotic genomes. We explore the distribution of representative TEs from major classes entire chromosomes across various organisms. employ two complementary approaches, scaling block entropy and box-counting. Both converge to conclusion that well-developed fractality is typical small genomes while large it appears sporadically some cases rudimentary. The human genome particularly prone...
The field of study complex systems holds that the dynamics are founded on universal principles may used to describe a great variety scientific and technological approaches different types natural, artificial, social systems. Authors have suggested earthquake neurodynamics can be analyzed within similar mathematical frameworks, claim further supported by recent evidence. purpose this paper is suggest shift in emphasis from large small search for dynamical analogy between seizure earthquake....
Conserved, ultraconserved and other classes of constrained non-coding elements (referred as CNEs) represent one the mysteries current comparative genomics. These are defined using various degrees sequence similarity between organisms several thresholds minimal length often marked by extreme conservation that frequently exceeds observed for protein-coding sequences. We here explore distribution different CNEs in entire chromosomes, human genome. employ two complementary methodologies, scaling...
