Different dynamic behaviors are classified. The influence of remembrance of dynamic behavior of GCA is also studied. Experiments show the emergence of the self-organizing patterns that is analogous with life forms at the edge of chaos, which consist of certain nontrivial structure and go through periods of growth, maturity and death. We describe these experiments and discuss their potential as alternative way for creating artificial life and generative art, and as a new method for pattern genesis.展开更多

Data of patents issued in the field of wireless charging are retrieved from the United States Patent and Trademark Office Library. Citation information about these patents is also collected. By analyzing the temporal citation count data of patent information,the patents' life patterns using the RSD/P classification method are classified. This study found that the emergence of different life patterns of patent information has strong connection with the technological stage in which the patent information is located,and sleeping beauty patents have high hidden values. In the stage of technological development,attention should be paid to the identification of non-stationary patents. Rapid identification of high-value patents,i. e.,patents with certain life pattern,is instrumental to accelerate the development of technologies. This study provides a viable approach for identifying high-value patents of emerging technologies through empirical research.展开更多

The particular frequency bands could be mathematically positioned on a Pythagorean scale, based on information distribution according to ratios of 2:3 in 1:2. The particular scale exhibits a core pattern of twelve eigenfrequency functions with adjacent self-similar patterns, according to octave hierarchy. In view of the current interest in coherency and entanglement in quantum biology, in the present paper, we report on a meta-analysis of 60 papers in physics that deal with the influence of electromagnetic frequencies on the promotion of entangled states in, so called, EPR experiments. Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen originated the EPR-correlation thought experiment for quantum-entangled particles, in which particles are supposed to react as one body. The meta-analyses of the EPR-experiments learned that entanglement, achieved in the experiments is real, and applied frequencies are located at discrete coherent configurations. Strikingly, all analysed EPR-data of the independent studies fit precisely in the derived scale of coherent frequency data and turned out to be virtually congruent with the above mentioned semi-harmonic EM-scale for living organisms. This implies that the same discrete coherent frequency pattern of EM quantum waves that determine local and non-local states is also applicable to biological order and that quantum entanglement is a prerequisite for life. The study may indicate that the implicate order of pilot-wave steering system, earlier postulated by David Bohm is composed of discrete entangled EM wave modalities, related to a pervading zero-point energy information field.展开更多

[Method] Based on data about insect situation supervision on M. alternatus in Wanding City, using related mathematical statistics methods including linear regression analysis and spatial distribution pattern of insect population, the relationship between emergence period, emergence quantity and temperature of M. alternatus adult, spatial distribution pattern of adults and their life history were studied. [Result] M. alternatus occurred one generation per year in Wanding city, June was the maximum period of adults, which was also the key trapping period. Spatial distribution of M. alternatus was accumulative. [Conclusion] This study provided theoretical basis for further control on M. alternatus for forestry bureau of Wanding City.展开更多

It can affect individuals of any age group: children, young adult, adults or the elderly and can compromise the health of individual tooth or the entire dentition leading to poor quality of life of the affected person. Objective: To evaluate the pattern of TSL among dental patients in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital and to assess the impact of TSL on their quality of life. Subjects and Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study among patients with TSL in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire was used to obtain information on the impact of TSL on the quality of life of the participants. Data collected were analysed using IBM SPSS version 20. Chi-square test was used to assess association between types of TSL and quality of life of the patients. Level of significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: One hundred and twenty-five patients (Males = 72;Females = 53) with tooth wear lesions participated in the study. The most common type of tooth surface loss was attrition (40%) followed by abrasion (23.2%). The highest impact of TSL on the quality of life was painful sensation strongly affecting 39 (31.2%) patients. This was followed by problem with chewing. There was no statistically significant relationship between patients’ quality of life and types of tooth surface loss. Conclusion: The most common negative impact of TSL on patient quality of life was painful sensation.展开更多
