by
Bruce J West, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Mauro Bologna
This text describes how fractal phenomena, both deterministic and random, change over time, using the fractional calculus. The intent is to identify those characteristics of complex physical phenomena that require fractional derivatives or fractional integrals to describe how the process changes over time. The discussion emphasizes the properties ...

by
Bruce J West
This text concerns the development of a theory of complex phenomena, using such concepts as fractals, chaos and fractional derivatives; but, most importantly, the idea of an allometric control process is developed. In summary the theory attempts to explain why the distribution in the intensity of wars is the same as the relative frequency of the ...

Where Medicine Went Wrong: Rediscovering
more books like this
by
Bruce J West
"Where Medicine Went Wrong" explores how the idea of an average value has been misapplied to medical phenomena, distorted understanding and lead to flawed medical decisions. Through new insights into the science of complexity, traditional physiology is replaced with fractal physiology, in which variability is more indicative of health than is an ...
