After an investigation of the well-known basic properties of muons conducted by the standard model (SM), this paper presents the results obtained for the phase space reconstruction, for the correlation dimension and for the largest Lyapunov exponent of a muon time series detected for a period of about three years (2019-2021) in an Italian laborator...

ADA, short for Astroparticle Detectors Array, is an educational project aiming to detect cosmic radiation and possibly high-energy particles known as ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) or even to spot a supernova event. Its working process is the same as that used in professional cosmic ray observatories: it consists of simple detectors spread...

We study a new fractal model for prediction of contagions of CoViD-19 using experimental data from October 10, 2020 to predict contagions from November until February 2021 in Italy. We obtain that the time of the peak is estimated to be at November 11, 2020 when number of contagions will be about 38489 cases.

A new theorem is demonstrated. There is a class of biquaternions for which the power of the biquaternions at the order n is so that R^(n-1)is different from 0 and R^n=0 .This theorem is of interest not only in the mathematical tool of the biquaternion field but it is of particular interest also in the applications of biquaternion algebra in quantum...

We perform an analysis of brain-neuromuscular synchronization and coupling strength in muscular dystrophy before and after NPT treatment. In order to estimate with accuracy the level of brain synchronization, we introduce and use the method of the cross GMI that was elaborated by Pompe. The finality is to account for the nonlinear chaotic dynamic c...

The power-law (fractal) behavior has been postulated and applied in epidemic studies of Corona virus disease in China . It is related to the properties of the networks that carry out the propagation of the disease. Vazquez [2006] developed a network model in which the daily number of new cases n(t) in an epidemic follows a power-law with an exponen...

Consciuosness is a self–referential entity having self–awareness and awareness of the outside world, both specific for each subject. In the book, the authors evidence that such two basic properties of consciousness are reached by the basic formulation of Clifford algebric quantum mechanics and, at macroscopic level, by complexity and chaos theory....
