The decapod crustaceans of the Gulf of Oman have been documented based on the published literature and new sampling along the Iranian coast between 2005 and 2015. A total of 121 species were collected along the Iranian coast, of which 43 are new records for the Gulf of Oman. The Decapoda of the Gulf is currently represented by 258 species belonging to five infraorders: Axiidea, Achelata, Anomur...

An Iranian team has reported the results of a rural prehospital trauma system. In a previous comment to their article I asked the team to come forward with additional information in order to validate the accuracy of the main variable in their study, the physiological severity score (PSS) 2 .

Problems in the study of Iranian Thysanoptera are discussed ...

Corononcodes ziegleri spec. nov. is described and illustrated based on material from Iran. The species represents the second Palaearctic representative of this panopine genus. In addition, C. siculus Bezzi is recorded from Fuerteventura (Canary Islands, Spain) for the first time. An identification key to the Palaearctic species of Corononcodes is presented. Additional faunistic records for the ...

One of the most popular data mining areas, which estimate future trends of data, is classification. This research is dedicated to predict Iranian passenger train delay with high accuracy over Iranian railway network. A hybrid method based on neuro-fuzzy inference system and Two-step clustering is used for this purpose. The results indicate that the hybrid method is superior over the other commo...

An updated list of Iranian Reduvioidea Latreille (families Pachynomidae, Reduviidae) is presented and discussed in this paper.
