This study is to determine how bilingualism could influence the list of Persian basic color terms and their order. Using a monolingual Persian and a bilingual Kurd sample students, and a color list task, it is assumed that bilingualism could change the ordering of the non-basic color terms in the second language, but not the basic ones. Another assumption is that, the old usual methods for obta...

The Caspian frisian roach (Rutilus frisii kutum), economically a very important fish species in Iran, is propagated in fishponds, reared into the rivers in fingerling size and then harvested from the Caspian Sea in adult stage. We found six monogenean parasites on the Caspian frisian roach including five Dactylogyrus spp. on fingerlings cultured in fishponds and rivers and two Dactylogyrus spp....

the pomegranate seeds of four iranian commercial varieties  (abanmahi (ab), malas (ms), pust sefid (ps) and shahvar (sh)) were evaluated in terms of some quality properties including protein, oil, dietary fiber, mineral contents and fatty acid composition. physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of pomegranate seed oils (psos) were also determined. the oil antioxidant activity was m...

delaying bud break, using chemicals is an approach to avoid spring frost damage. therefore, the effect of spraying different concentrations of soybean oil and naphthalene acetic acid (naa) on delaying bud break, altering internal atmosphere and cold hardiness in grape cultivar ‘fakhri’ was studied in 2011 in a commercial vineyard in maryanaj, hamedan using a factorial trial based on randomized ...

nowadays, a lot of frost damage is inflicted upon vineyards because of changing weather conditions as well as introducing new of cultivars and genotypes from different geographical regions. on the other hand, the prevalence of a wide variety of grapes in iran, the provides possibility of selection of superior and cold tolerant varieties (or single plants) which is proposed a strong hypothetical...

It was examined whether stimulus modality (auditory vs. visual) affects the retrieval of subjective duration from memory. In 2 experiments a temporal generalization paradigm was used. Participants had to decide whether the previously learned standard duration (400 ms) occurred in the context of comparison stimuli. Two major results were found. (1) Performance was unaffected by the modality of t...

vineyard management, plant nutrition, irrigation, genotype and pests and diseases are effective factors quantity and quality of crops. among mentioned factors, plant nutrition has more importance and nutrient imbalance in soil can affect crop quantity and quality. grape cluster necrosis at veraison time is important disorders in vineyard, because of lack of balance between potassium and magnesi...
