Renormalization group and fractional calculus methods in a complex world: A review

This article is a review discussing the origin, development, and application of the renormalization group (RG) method in a variety of fields from the physical, social and life sciences, in singular perturbation theory, and reveal the need to connect the RG and the fractional calculus (FC). The authors also present recommendations for future research based on this new way of thinking.

Biophotons-and-emergence-of-quantum-coherencea-diffusion-entropy-analysisEntropy

This article studies the emission of photons from germinating seeds using an experimental technique designed to detect light of extremely small intensity. It analyzes the dark count signal without germinating seeds as well as the photon emission during the germination process.
