摘要: A characteristic of venom elution patterns, shared with many other complex systems, is that their features cannot be properly described statistical or euclidean concepts. The understanding such systems became possible Mandelbrot's fractal analysis. Venom patterns were produced using the reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) 1 mg venom. One reason for lack quantitative analyses sources variability parametrizing chromatograms' complexity. We quantize this complexity by means an algorithm which estimates contortedness (Q) a waveform. Fractal analysis was used to compare venoms and measure inter- intra-specific variability. studied variations in derived from gender, seasonal environmental factors, duration captivity laboratory, technique milk
