The hallmarks of dry skin (xerosis) are scaliness and loss of elasticity. Decreased hydration and a disturbed lipid content of the stratum corneum are also well-known features. The frequency of dry skin increases with ageing. The aim of this study was to examine if these known features of dry skin a
Simulations are presented for two-dimensional Eden growth into fractal networks. We find that the fractal dimension of the Eden cluster, d,, does not have a simple behavior when the cluster grows into the structure of a fractal network. We also find that d, depends strongly on the minimal path betwe
The problem we consider is to understand why nature gives rise to fractal structures. The first step is to formulate models of fractal growth based on physical mechanisms like the Diffusion Limited Aggregation and the more general Dielectric Breakdown Model. They are based on a simple iterative proc
