In fact, the simultaneous and individual tracking of (Formula presented) fluorescently labeled diffusing particles is a useful recent technique for characterizing heterogeneous microenvironments;

32. For Euclidean media, the survival probability can be found by solving the diffusion equation with an absorbing spherical boundary placed at the Euclidean distance r. For the class of deterministic fractal media discussed in Ref. 14, the survival probability is found by renormalization techniques.
33. A key fact that supported the conjecture was that the asymptotic relation for (Formula presented) obtained in Ref. 9 for disordered fractals can also be reobtained from Eq. (1). However, it was found later 1218 that that relation for (Formula presented) is not valid for disordered fractals.
