Abstract:
We introduce indices which characterize morphological structure of the system of aggregated cells in a thin blood layer. The main quantitative characteristics of the system is the multifractal spectrum f(alpha). Analysis of the f(alpha) profile for varying aggregation moments allows to describe quantitatively the dynamics of formation and growth of cell aggregates as well as to determine the structural morphological changes during this aggregation. Other quantitative values describing the aggregation kinetics are the scaling exponents characterizing the power dependence of the cluster quantity ns(t) on the number of particles in the cluster s and on the time moment t.
