  • Fractals and Multifractals in the Geosciences

    • 1st Edition
    • Behnam Sadeghi
    • English
    Fractals and Multifractals in the Geosciences details the application of a wide range of multifractal methods, including many novel ones developed by the author, along with the assessment of uncertainty in sample classification and stability of spatial patterns. This book also provides criteria for selection of the most effective combination of data pre-processing and multifractal modeling to extract desired features or signals in the data. The book specifically aims to introduce, apply, and test novel multifractal models that account directly for changes in relationships between variables, as well as the effects of distance between samples and the source of anomalous metal contents in geoscience samples. Linked to this will be assessment of the effects of different pre-processing of data prior to application of the models and quantification/model uncertainty in geochemical anomaly maps, associated with sample classification and spatial interpolation. Gaussian simulations such as Sequential Gaussian Simulation and Monte Carlo Simulation will be applied to the new multifractal models developed and a suite of existing models, including (simulated) concentration-area, spectrum-area, singularity and other models.Fractals and Multifractals in the Geosciences will be invaluable for mathematical geoscientists, geostatisticians, exploration, applied, urban and environmental geochemists, computational geoscientists, data scientists, and GIS professionals who need to better understand fractal geometry, along with its theory and applications in geochemical anomaly classification to generate maps that are helpful for decision-making for follow-up sampling and explorations.

    • Spanish
    Desde su primera edición, este Atlas de anatomía palpatoria se ha consolidado como la herramienta de referencia para comprender la anatomía práctica y clínica del miembro inferior. Permite un mejor abordaje diagnóstico, ya que la palpación constituye una de las etapas clave de la exploración física, y una mejor aplicación de las técnicas manuales (articulares, miotensivas y de neuromovilización). La obra está organizada en cuatro partes: Osteología, Artrología, Miología y Nervios y vasos, y presenta de forma concreta las diferentes regiones anatómicas (cadera, muslo, rodilla, pierna, tobillo y pie), mediante 60 láminas anatómicas en color y cerca de 450 fotografías en blanco y negro, captadas todas ellas en personas vivas, que permiten apreciar con más claridad y precisión los volúmenes y las estructuras anatómicas (huesos, tendones, músculos, superficies articulares y ligamentos). Fiel al espíritu de la edición previa, esta sexta edición ofrece un contenido desglosado en estructuras y regiones anatómicas, conforme a los programas docentes, todo ello con un diseño en color que facilita la localización de los contenidos. Esta sexta edición incluye imágenes y láminas anatómicas revisadas y actualizadas (números en las estructuras palpadas, contraste de las imágenes); fotografías optimizadas que permiten una mejor legibilidad de los volúmenes; y nuevas flechas en la punta de los dedos del terapeuta que realiza la palpación, para mayor precisión.
