Dr. Mandelbrot coined the term "fractal" to refer to a new class of mathematical shapes whose uneven contours could mimic the irregularities found in nature.
In the autogeneic osteochondral transplant a slight uneven subchondral contour and slight radiolucency were seen, whereas two xenogeneic osteochondral transplants showed moderate cyst like lesions.
Lobulated masses are characterized by an undulating contour (Fig. 2 c), and irregular masses (Fig. 2 d) show an uneven shape that cannot be characterized as round, oval, or lobulated.
These include: Blood clots, infection, fat clots, skin sensitivity changes, bleeding, irregular or uneven body contours, swelling, skin discoloration, skin and nerve damage, scarring, anesthesia risks, pain, and loose skin.
On uneven terrain, the contours may come closer together at one point or widen at other points.
The Ryskin-Kimura installation, titled "Dusk" (2005), approximates the appearance of a scaled topographical model; the folds, bulges, creases and dips in the fabric resemble the natural contours of uneven, hilly terrain.
As the bright orange, open-top Land Rover I'm travelling in hurtles across the moon-like terrain of the desert, my sleep-deprived body seems to be absorbing every contour of the uneven ground.
Deconvolution also flattened contours caused by uneven background intensity while preserving PSF-like objects.
Similarly, uneven 'seating' of the SMA on the contours of each subject's upper arm may have contributed to SMA tilt, hence to the observed progressive discrepancy.
Contour bunds are not suitable for uneven or eroded land as overtopping of excess water with subsequent breakage may occur at low spots.
