Can regular and irregular verb forms be accommodated by a single representational mechanism or is a dual mechanism account required? In a first experiment, we used a cross-modal repetition priming paradigm to investigate the mental representation of regular and irregular verb forms in French. Participants heard a spoken prime (such as aimons, ‘we love’) immediately followed by lexical decision ...

This paper examines one key feature of intra-regional migration in Asia: irregularity, and it does so beyond the typical focus on irregular entry by highlighting ‘irregularity regularity’, that is irregularity as result extremely rigidly designed legal pathways for migration. Our analysis, thus, focuses wider policy infrastructure centres upon securitisation managerialism, with a high incidence...

The irregularity of skin lesion borders is a significant diagnostic factor when assessing a lesion for malignancy. A ranking experiment involving irregularity assessment showed poor average ranking correlation among 20 experienced clinicians (r=0.44). However, for 50% of the group correlation was high (r=0.81), indicating high degree of consensus. A quantitative measure of irregularity based on...

We have developed a computer-aided diagnosis system to detect the abnormalities on retinal fundus images. In Japan, ophthalmologists usually detect hypertensive changes by identifying narrowing arteriolae with a focus on an irregularity. The purpose of this study is to develop an automated method for detecting narrowing arteriolae with a focus on an irregularity on retinal images. The blood ves...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to define the morphological features of coronary artery spasm sites using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA). BACKGROUND Plaque characteristics at coronary artery spasm sites have not been investigated systematically. METHODS Sixty-nine consecutive patients (80 spasm sites) presenting with VSA who underwent OCT i...

We investigate how the regularity of nonharmonic Fourier series is related to the spacing of their frequencies. This is obtained by using a transform which simultaneously captures the advantages of the Gabor and Wavelet transforms. Applications to the everywhere irregularity of solutions of some PDEs are given. We extend these results to the anisotropic setting in order to derive directional ir...

An irregular assignment is a k -labeling of the edges : {1, 2, , } f E k → ... such that the vertex weights (label sums of edges incident with the vertex) are different for all vertices of G . The smallest k for which there is an irregular assignment is the irregularity strength. The notion of irregularity strength was introduced by Chartrand et al. [8] and studied by numerous authors, see [6,1...
