By studying the type specimens and field works from locus classicus, it became clear that the two species of Silene eremicana and S. goniocaula which are considered as conspecific in the Flora Iranica are distinct species. Silene commelinifolia var. isophylla is considered as a synonym of S. eremicana. The numbers of herbarium specimens (voucher) are emended and the descriptions of each species...

Here, utilizing the projective tools, including fractal images, are some of the diagnostic aids. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the preferences, descriptions, and response latency to fractal images between schizophrenic and healthy individuals. Materials & Methods: In ...

{ This paper demonstrates the conservative nature of a multiple description approach to image and video coding, by showing that error con-cealment of a sub-optimally partitioned coded image stream yields comparable results under realistic conditions. Rather than use the non-orthogonal transforms of multiple description coding, which result in excess rate when both streams are received, a standa...
