Fluctuating asymmetry consists of random deviations from perfect symmetry in populations
of organisms. It is a measure of developmental noise, which reflects a population's average …

The WHO categorizes pituitary tumours as typical adenomas, atypical adenomas and
pituitary carcinomas, with typical adenomas constituting the major class. However, the WHO …

Fractals are mathematical constructs that show self-similarity over a range of scales and non-
integer (fractal) dimensions. Owing to these properties, fractal geometry can be used to …

This volume highlights the growing power and efficacy of the fractal geometry in
understanding how to analyze living phenomena and complex shapes. In March 2000 …

The morphological complexity of cells and tissues, whether normal or pathological, is
characterized by two primary attributes: Irregularity and self-similarity across different scales …

The ever decreasing area of forests has lead to environmental and economical challenges
and has brought with it a renewed interest in developing methodologies that quantify the …

Assessing building damage after earthquakes requires a visual inspection of the damage,
indicated by maps of the cracking pattern on walls, which could be standardized via …

The extension of the concepts of Fractal Geometry (Mandelbrot [1983]) toward the life
sciences has led to significant progress in understanding complex functional properties and …

Radiomics is an emerging field that involves extraction and quantification of features from
medical images. These data can be mined through computational analysis and models to …

Deforestation is an important phenomenon that may create major imbalances in
ecosystems. In this study we propose a new mathematical analysis of the forest area …
