Scaling in Nature: from DNA through Heartbeats to Weather

by: Havlin, A. L. Goldberger, Ch, C. K. Peng, H. E. Stanley

X Abstract

The purpose of this talk is to describe some recent progress in applying scaling concepts to various systems in nature. We review several systems characterized by scaling laws such as DNA sequences, heartbeat rates and weather variations. We discuss the finding that the exponent ff quantifying the scaling in DNA is smaller for coding than for noncoding sequences. We also discuss the application of fractal scaling analysis to the dynamics of heartbeat regulation, and report the recent finding...
