The fractal component in the daytime healthy heartbeat interval data is studied from the perspective of cascade in fluid turbulence. Based on the electrophysiology of the heart muscle cell, a bounded random cascade model is assumed and the scaling property of the model is derived. In application, a "cascade decomposition" is proposed to extract the model parameter based on the experimental data. Simulation results show that healthy heart rate variability (HRV) can be well captured by the multiplicative process and imply the significance of sympatho-vagal interaction in the fractal component of long-term healthy HRV.

Structure changes or transitions are common in growing networks (complex networks, graphs, etc.) and must be precisely determined. The introduced quantitative measure of the structural complexity of the network based on a procedure similar to the renormalization process allows one to reveal such changes.

C/SiC composites are widely used in aerospace thermal structures. Due to the high manufacturing complexity and cost of C/SiC composites, numerous hybrid joints are required to replace large and complex components. The intricate contact behavior within these hybrid joints reduces the computational efficiency of damage analysis methods based on solid models, limiting their effectiveness in large-scale structural design.

Rheology describes the flow of fluids from food and plastics, to coatings, adhesives, and 3D printing inks, and is commonly denoted by viscosity alone as a simplification. While viscometers adequately probe Newtonian (constant) viscosity, most fluids have complex viscosity, requiring tests over multiple shear rates, and transient measurements. As a result, rheometers are typically large, expensive, and require additional infrastructure (e.

Multi-spectral imaging enhances the information diversity of the object with complex, expensive, and low integrated components. Here, we demonstrated an antenna-coupled microbolometric detector in complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology, utilizing SiO2 absorption and L-shaped fractal antenna to achieve multi-band detection from infrared (IR) to terahertz (THz). Experimental results demonstrate that the detector can achieve high sensitivity detection in both THz and IR bands, with the maximum detectivity of 5 (10 cm·Hz/W @305 GHz and 7 (10 cm·Hz/W @8.
