in this paper, the validity of the key prediction of adaptive dispersion theory was tested. according to this prediction, vowels of a given language are organized in such a way that they are sufficiently distinct on the perceptual level. it implies that more crowded inventories, which also have wider f1 dimension, occupy greater vowel spaces than inventories with fewer vowels.  to investigate t...

as pioneer trends in iranian computational dialectology, the leveneshtain algorithm applied to mazandarani dialect data - extracted from lai – revealed regional dialect in the northern range of the alborz mountains. current synchronic fieldwork aimed to determine vowels responsible for regional variation, and likewise reliability and validity of the research findings, through vowel frequency me...

This investigation was conducted to identify polymorphism of the leptin gene in Holstein cows, Mazandarani native cattle and buffaloes by Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The frequencies of A and B alleles were 0.4 and 0. 6 in Holstein cows, 0.56 and 0.44 in Mazandarani native cattle, 0.61 and 0.35 in buffaloes, respectively. The heterozygote genoty...

Linguistic evidence supports this scenario, in that the Gilaki and Mazandarani languages (but not other Iranian lang...
