In this article, researchers set out to discover the metadiscourse markers in research articles written by both native and non-native English speakers. To this end, a total number of twenty research articles published by Iranian and native English speakers in highly reputed journals on Arts and Humanities domains were randomly selected from major databases including Science Direct, Noormagz, an...

this study investigated two major types of metadiscourse markers as used in typical sales contracts, written by english natives and iranian non-natives. in so doing, 60 sales contracts were selected, 30 written by native english and 30 by iranian non-natives. based on hyland and tse’s taxonomy, the contracts were codified and classified in terms of the frequency and percentage of the interactiv...

The luminance dependence of spatial acuity in domestic fowl was measured directly over stimulus luminances ranging from 0.06 to 57.35 cd m(-2). At the highest luminance, acuity was around 6.5 c deg(-1), in agreement with previous studies in this species. As stimulus luminance decreased, acuity fell with increasing rate to 3.2 c deg(-1) at 0.06 cd m(-2), following the same shape as acuity functi...

developing supernumerary limbs is a rare congenital condition that only a few cases have been documented. depending on the cause and developmental conditions, they may be single, multiple or complicated, and occur as a syndrome or associated with other anomalies. polymelia is defined as the presence of extra limb(s) which have been reported in human, mouse, chicken, calf and lamb. it seems that...

Some of the properties and the amino acid compositions of the histones of calf thymus, calf liver, fowl erythrocytes, and of a protamine-like material isolated from rooster sperm were described. The amino acid compositions of the histones were rather similar except that no methionine was found in the fowl erythrocyte histone. In the fowl, histones are found in the somatic chromosomes and protam...

The current study sought to compare the rhetorical moves and steps that native-English-speaking Iranian authors of research articles (RAs) employ in writing up ‘discussion’ sections their RAs.
