context:micrornas (mirnas) are a class of short, endogenously-initiated, non-coding rnas that post-transcriptionally control gene expression via translational repression or mrna turnover. mirnas have attracted much attention in recent years as they play critical roles in gene expression and are promising tools with many biotech and therapeutic applications. the molecular mechanisms underlying t...

isotopic and nuclear techniques play an important role in food and agriculture, health and industry. in the agricultural sciences and food technology sectors, recent research has elucidated the new potential application of radiation for microbial decontamination, food preservation, improve the nutritional quality of  foods  and effectively utilise its potential as human food or animal feed. the...

to be able to reach the level of ultimate attainment in the second language, learners need to acquire not only the grammar of the l2 but also the language processing mechanisms involved in the comprehension of sentences in real time. contrary to its importance, very little is known yet about online l2 processing. this study examines whether advanced iranian learners of english reactivate disloc...

dehulling is an important step in walnut processing that has considerable effect on the quality, chemical and microbial properties of walnuts. improving dehulling can increase the quality of the final product. this research studied the effect of genotype and hulling method on walnut properties. one experiment was performed as a factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replicat...

anomaly detection (ad) has recently become an important application of hyperspectral images analysis. the goal of these algorithms is to find the objects in the image scene which are anomalous in comparison to their surrounding background. one way to improve the performance and runtime of these algorithms is to use dimensionality reduction (dr) techniques. this paper evaluates the effect of thr...

over the past years, lake water levels have decreased considerably by various factors and the subsequent emergence of salt plain has brought disastrous consequences that need an essential action. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of drying up and increasing lake water salt and landsat satellite images were used during different time periods in 9 years. to identify the new a...

in this paper, an ultra low carbon high strength low alloy grade steel was subjected to a two-step forging processand this was followed by different post cooling methods. the highest strength was obtained at a faster coolingrate due to the highly dislocated acicular ferrite structure with the fine precipitation of microalloying carbides andcarbonitrides. at a slow cooling rate, the strength fel...

With the renewed interest in the field of second language learning for the knowledge of collocating words, research findings in favour of holistic processing of formulaic language could support the idea that these language units facilitate efficient language processing. This study investigated the difference between processing of a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) of congruent col...

Introduction: The image quality as well as film speed is influenced by the film processing conditions. Different combinations of films and processing methods affect the diagnostic accu-racy. Temperature and developer exhaustion result in different image quality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of film type and processing conditions on caries detec-tion.  Material a...
