Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The fractal properties of aggregates (clusters) formed in a bidisperse (two-phase) suspension through the attachment of fine particles to a coarse fraction, taking the dependency of the fractal dimension of the aggregate on its size into account, are studied. The correlation coupling parameters of the initial and limiting states of the suspension (for the complete aggregation of the primary particles) is obtained based on the balance of the number of particles. The influence of the key parameters of the suspension, as well as of the factor of variable fractal dimension on the typical characteristics of fractal clusters, is analyzed.
