an important part of iranian literary and historical background is remained in works had been translated or adopted from other texts written in other languages. they were done by translators, called “mirzas”, who were masters in persian literature. their writing style was completely matched with the style of their period. qajar’s era is considered as a prominent period in both french and englis...

In order to investigate chitosan and magnesium-nano fertilizers’ impact on photosynthetic pigments, protein, proline, and soluble sugar contents of sesame under irrigation cut-off treatment, a split-factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized blocks with three replications. Irrigation cut-off based on BBCH sca...

In the present study a mathematical model is developed in order to examine the effects of heat and mass transfers on removal efficiency of particulate matters in venturi type <span style="font-size: 10...

Many plants have a genetically determined self-incompatibility system in which the rejection of self pollen grains is controlled by alleles of an S locus. A common feature of these S loci is that separate pollen- and style-expressed genes (pollen S and style S, respectively) determine S allele identity. The long-held view has been that pollen S and style S must be a coevolving gene pair in orde...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Adventitious sprouting from the hypocotyle and roots in monocarpic herbs has been confirmed in previous experimental studies as a means to avoid bud limitation after severe injury in annual and biennial plants. Data regarding the role of adventitious sprouting in natural populations, however, were lacking. The aim of the present study was to assess whether adventitious sprou...

UNLABELLED • PREMISE OF THE STUDY Wood specific gravity (WSG) mediates an interspecific trade-off between growth and mortality and is a key measure for estimating carbon stocks. Most studies use species mean values to represent WSG, despite variation at different levels of biological organization. We examined sources of variation in WSG across four nested scales (segments within cores, cores ...

A logical framework is presented for representing and reasoning about nondeterministic programs that may not terminate. We propose a logic PDL(; ;, ||, d(∗)) which is an extension of dynamic logic such that the program constructors related to demonic operations are introduced in its language. A complete and sound Hilbert-style proof system is given and it is shown that PDL(; ;, ||, d(∗)) is dec...

This paper introduces a flexible and generic approach to define customised style rules for labels in conceptual models. A rule-based language is presented which can express style rules in a flexible and context-specific way. The formalised style rules are used to analyse and evaluate textual labels of model elements. To analyse a textual label, a combination of standardised natural language pro...

Many organizations have now adopted Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) as an architectural style to help them with architecture, design and implementation of their core services and systems. Most of these organizations are challenged in integrating SOA style with their overall Enterprise Architecture work. This framework links an SOA style with the Enterprise Architecture (EA) methodologies to...
