Iranian traditional architecture is one of the world's architectures par excellence. It was one of the most important architectures in the medieval Islamic world. Iranian architecture has developed over millennia in response to its religion. Many traditional and vernacular buildings in Iran show that the architects had been so clever in harmonizing the Iranian religion and architecture in the p...

This study introduced a D-optimal design mixture to assess the physicochemical properties of hydrocolloid-based functional food fortified with C. lentillifera. The combination incorporated vital jelly constituents, including extract (10–15%), sweeteners (20–29%), gelling agents (k-carrageenan and locust bean gum (LBG)), preservatives (0–0.05%). dependent variables were pH, Total Soluble Solid (...

Abstract Spatial inhomogeneity is one of the important features for understanding reionization process; however, it has not yet been fully quantified. To map this inhomogeneous distribution, we simultaneously detect Ly α emitters (LAEs) and Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z ∼ 6.6 from Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam large-area (∼1.5 deg 2 = 34,000 cMpc ) deep survey. We estimate neutral fraction, x HI ...

The paper presents a fast codebook training algorithm for vector quantisation. It uses an elimination rule, based on triangular inequality criteria, as well as the partial distortion elimination method, to relieve the computational burden of a conventional codebook training algorithm, including a binary codeword splitting algorithm for the initial codebook and the LBG recursive algorithm. Over ...

To assess genetic diversity and maternal origin of Turkish and Iranian native chicken breeds, we analyzed the mtDNA D-loop sequences of 222 chickens from 2 Turkish (Denizli and Gerze) and 7 Iranian (White Marandi, Black Marandi, Naked Neck, Common Breed, Lari, West Azarbaijan, and New Hampshire) native chicken breeds, together with the available reference sequences of G. gallus gallus in GenBan...

To visualize the structure of Iranian chemistry scientific publications in SciSearch, 43 Iranian and International chemists were identified. They were the highly cited scientists in 7682 Iranian chemistry publications (defined as an article with at least one Iranian author address) indexed in Science Citation Index during the period from 1990 to 2006. Co-citation data for these authors from the...

OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate gender differences in depression scores of Iranian and German medical students. METHODS Two hundred Iranian medical students (100 men and 100 women) and 200 German medical students (100 men and 100 women) were selected randomly and completed the English form of the self-rating Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). RESULTS Analysis gave a mean rating of 10.7 ± 6....
