Scaling property

It is well known from elementary fluid dynamics that an isotropic fluid with constant viscosity rj undergoing a shear between two parallel plates, separated by the distance d = 2h as described above in Fig. 5.6, is characterised by (cf. Landau and Lifshitz [159, p.55j) 

It is clear from (5.139) and (5.141) that the director orientation angle (j y) may be written implicitly as the function (j y/cy). Therefore, from the relation (5.144) it is seen that 

Inserting this result into the apparent viscosity (5.147) gives 

Vd = 2Vhis a function of h /c by equation (5.148), which means that any function of h /c can be expressed as an equivalent function of Vd. Therefore rj can also be expressed as a function of and so we have 

The dependence of the viscosity on Kd is evidence of a particular quantity being scaled. Ericksen [79] considered the more general case to see if any other quantities n ay be scaled in a way that the form of the quantities remains the same. To this end, he scaled space and time via the transformations

Wavelet transformation (analysis) is considered as another and maybe even more powerful tool than FFT for data transformation in chemoinetrics, as well as in other fields. The core idea is to use a basis function ("mother wavelet") and investigate the time-scale properties of the incoming signal [8], As in the case of FFT, the Wavelet transformation coefficients can be used in subsequent modeling instead of the original data matrix (Figure 4-7). 

At small driving forces a completely fiat interface cannot move at a constant speed. This is basically a result of the inherent scaling property of the diffusion equation, which scales lengths proportional to the square-root of time, so an advancing interface would slow down with time. 

For the correlation bands obtained by a convolution of many shake-up lines, the size-consistency and size-intensivity requirements imply a convergence towards some asymptotic profile, when going to the polymer limit. This must ideally be achieved through a balance of the scaling properties of the individual shake-up lines, and the dispersion of the intensity of Ih lines over a rapidly increasing number of excited states with increasing system size.

S(r) will be treated in real space but needs to be applied only in a small neighborhood around the reference charge distribution. L(r), which represents the bulk of the electrostatic interactions (in terms of their number, not in the contribution to the energy), can be treated using various approximations with favorable scaling properties. For example, in the origi-... 

The presence of entanglement constraints is expected to show itself (1) by a reduction in the time decay of S(Q,t) compared to the Rouse dynamic structure factor and (2) by the systematic Q-dependent deviation from the Rouse scaling properties. 

A current example of a problem that can be simplified through segregation of its components by physical scale is the deposition of on-chip interconnects onto a wafer. Takahashi and Gross have analyzed the scaling properties of interconnect fabrication problems and identified the relevant control parameters for the different levels of pattern scale [135], They define several dimensionless groups which determine the type of problem that must be solved at each level.

The structure of this review is composed of as follows in Section II, the scaling properties and the dimensions of selfsimilar and self-affine fractals are briefly summarized. The physical and electrochemical methods required for the determination of the surface fractal dimension of rough surfaces and interfaces are introduced and we discuss the kind of scaling property the resulting fractal dimension represents in Section III. 

In Section IV, from the studies on diffusion towards self-affine fractal interface, the surface fractal dimension as determined by the electrochemical method is characterized as being self-similar, even though the rough surfaces and interfaces show the self-affine scaling property. Finally, in Section V, we exemplified the application of fractal geometry in electrochemical systems in view of the characterization of rough surfaces and interfaces by the surface fractal dimension. 

The length scales corresponding to the frequency ranges where the fractal scaling property is expected in the impedance measurements can be considered. According to Pajkossy,145 the relationship between the length scale X and the frequency / is...
