Fractals are self-similar geometric pattern which can be found in nature. They have applications in mathematic, electronic, architecture. Fractal sets also can be used to create chaotic systems. This work is about applying Sierpinski carpet order on the periodic table of the elements to create a new pattern for the chemical elements. Fibonacci numbers and Math lab software are used to transform a linear system to three spiral systems. This new pattern which is consisted of three layers shows that the flows among chemical elements are based on Archimedes spiral equation The purpose of this study is to show Sierpinski carpet order in the periodic table of the chemical elements and also there can be a chaos even in chemical elements.

Microstrip antenna is broadly used in the modern communication system due to its significant features such as light weight, inexpensive, low profile, and ease of integration with radio frequency devices. The fractal shape is applied in antenna geometry to obtain the ultra-wideband antennas. In this paper, the sierpinski carpet fractal monopole antenna (SCFMA) is developed for base case, first iteration and second iteration to obtain the wideband based on its space filling and self-similar characteristics. The dimension of the monopole patch size is optimized to minimize the overall dimension of the fractal antenna. Moreover, the optimized planar structure is proposed using the microstrip line feed. The monopole antenna is mounted on the FR4 substrate with the thickness of 1.6 mm with loss tangent of 0.02 and relative permittivity of 4.4. The performance of this SCFMA is analyzed in terms of area, bandwidth, return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, radiation pattern and gain. The proposed fractal antenna achieves three different bandwidth ranges such as 2.6-4.0 GHz, 2.5-4.3 GHz and 2.4-4.4 GHz for base case, first and second iteration respectively. The proposed SCFMA is compared with existing fractal antennas to prove the efficiency of the SCFMA design. The area of the SCFMA is 25×20 mm<sup>2</sup>, which is less when compared to the existing fractal antennas.

In this paper, we investigate the vertical-affiliation-free (VAF) evolving networks whose node set is the basic squares in the process of generating the Sierpinski carpet and edge exists between any two nodes if and only if the corresponding basic squares intersect just on their boundary. Although the VAF networks gets rid of the hierarchial organizations produced naturally by the self-similar structures of fractals, we still prove that they are scale-free and have the small-world effect.

We obtain the average geodesic distance on the Sierpinski carpet in terms of the integral of geodesic distance on self-similar measure. We find out the finite pattern phenomenon of integral inspired by the notion of finite type on self-similar sets with overlaps.

Abstract As a follow-up to the 2019 International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT2019), the Government of the Russian Federation proposed to establish and fund the joint UNESCO/Russian Federation International Prize for the Basic Sciences in the name of the Russian chemist Dmitry Mendeleev. The initiative is to provide further support to the UNESCO’s International Basic Sciences Programme (IBSP).

AbstractIn 2019, the world celebrated the International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (IYPT2019) and the IUPAC centenary. This happy coincidence offered a unique opportunity to reflect on the value and work that is carried out by IUPAC in a range of activities, including chemistry awareness, appreciation, and education. Although IUPAC curates the Periodic Table and oversees regular additions and changes, this icon of science belongs to the world. With this in mind, we wanted to create an opportunity for students and the general public to participate in this global celebration. The objective was to create an online global competition centered on the Periodic Table and IUPAC to raise awareness of the importance of chemistry in our daily lives, the richness of the chemical elements, and the key role of IUPAC in promoting chemistry worldwide. The Periodic Table Challenge was the result of this effort.

Abstract The International Year of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements 2019 (IYPT2019) has been celebrated during the year in over 130 countries, with well over a thousand events and festivities, reaching millions of young and old people, scientists and non-scientists. The event as a whole has been very successful; the 160-page report released last October illustrated in length the community partnership for global outreach and the diversity and success of the activities that took place throughout the year.
