One of the important clinical features that differentiates benign melanocytic nevi from malignant melanomas is the irregularity of the lesion border. There are two types of border irregularities: texture irregularities, the small variations along the border, and structure irregularities, the global indentations and protrusions. Texture irregularities are subject to noise, whereas structure irre...

[1] Based on the analysis of a low-order tropical atmosphere-ocean model we propose a nonlinear mechanism explaining several features of the observed El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon: ENSO irregularity, ENSO Amplitude Modulations and decadal tropical climate variability. The mechanism suggested here is based on the idea of homoclinic/heteroclinic orbits, an inherently nonlinear co...

Martin Bača et al. [2] introduced the problem of determining the total vertex irregularity strengths of graphs. In this paper we discuss how the addition of new edge affect the total vertex irregularity strength.

In vivo cortical neurons are known to exhibit highly irregular spike patterns. Because the intervals between successive spikes fluctuate greatly, irregular neuronal firing makes it difficult to estimate instantaneous firing rates accurately. If, however, the irregularity of spike timing is decoupled from rate modulations, the estimate of firing rate can be improved. Here, we introduce a novel c...
