Davies, Ronnie M., George L. Gerstein, and Stuart N. Baker. Measurement of time-dependent changes in the irregularity of neural spiking. J Neurophysiol 96: 906–918, 2006. First published March 22, 2006; doi:10.1152/jn.01030.2005. Irregularity of firing in spike trains has been associated with coding processes and information transfer or alternatively treated as noise. Previous studies of irregu...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the tongue volume and lower incisor irregularity, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to identify the possible gender differences. CBCT images of 60 patients between 16 and 36 years of age were selected from 1400 sets of images in the database. Tomography was carried out using iCAT® (Imaging Sciences International, Hatfi...

A growing body of work on morphological irregularity has shown that the productivity of irregular morphological processes is sensitive to phonological context. However, these studies have focused almost exclusively on patterns of irregularity found in European languages. In this paper, I discuss a typologically different pattern of irregularity found in Lakhota: person marking appears as a pref...

in this paper, we introduce the notions of product vague graph, balanced product vague graph, irregularity and total irregularity of any irregular vague graphs and some results are presented. also, density and balanced irregular vague graphs are discussed and some of their properties are established. finally we give an application of vague digraphs.

Track Irregularity has a significant influence on the safety of train operation. Due to the fact that the extremely large number of factors affect track irregularity, it is challenging to find a concise yet effective mathematical method to describe the evolution of track irregularity. In this paper, inspection data generated by GJ-4 track inspection cars from Jinan Railway Bureau in China were ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate mandibular irregularity index stability following orthodontic treatment facilitated by alveolar corticotomy and augmentation bone grafting (Cort+). MATERIALS AND METHODS The irregularity index of 121 orthodontically treated and 15 untreated patient study casts was analyzed at 5 years and 10 years. RESULTS Cort+ resulted in significantly lower mandibular irregularity in...

The propagation of shear waves differs between geo-media due to layer’s structure and irregularity present in different layers. This paper studies the propagation of shear waves in a monoclinic layer with irregularity lying between two isotropic semiinfinite elastic medium. The displacement in the monoclinic layer is obtained by using perturbation technique. Then the dispersion relation is foun...

Albertson [3] has defined the irregularity of a simple undirected graph G = (V,E) as irr(G) = ∑ uv∈E |dG(u)− dG(v)| , where dG(u) denotes the degree of a vertex u ∈ V . Recently, this graph invariant gained interest in the chemical graph theory, where it occured in some bounds on the first and the second Zagreb index, and was named the third Zagreb index [13]. For general graphs with n vertices...

The erosion of soluble rock and transformation groundwater result in the high irregularity cavities tunnel. At present, however, karst are mainly simplified as circular, rectangular, or elliptical shape numerical simulation. purpose this paper is to propose a new method analyze stability irregular cavities. First all, we used drilling laser scanning reconstruct three-dimensional point clouds mo...

Railway track irregularity surveying is important for the construction and the maintenance of railway lines. With the development of inertial devices, systems based on Inertial Navigation System (INS) have become feasible and popular approaches in track surveying applications. In order to overcome the requirement of high precision control points, this paper proposes a railway track irregularity...
