Fractal structures are observed in the universe in two very different ways. Firstly, in the gas forming the cold interstellar medium in scales from 10e4pc till 100~~. Secondly, the galaxy distribution has been observed to be fractal in scales up to hundreds of Mpc. We give here a short review of the

Many biological processes, from cellular metabolism to population dynamics, are characterized by particular allometric scaling (power-law) relationships between size and rate. Although such allometric relationships may be under genetic determination, their precise genetic mechanisms have not been cl

This paper demonstrates an application of the maximum entropy method to the estimation of the uncertainty due to calibration in the measurement of the moments of turbulent probability density functions. Specific examples are drawn from nominally linear transducers and hot-wire anemometry.
