A key factor that determines the price of olive oil is its sensory profile. The International Olive Council (IOC) establishes four quality categories and a method to classify a sample of olive oil into one category, depending on its sensory characteristics. To do so, a taster panel is rigorously trained to provide the intensity perceived on a 10-cm scale for each organoleptic characteristic. Th...

Fuzzy relational models have been widely investigated and found to be an efficient tool for the identification of complex systems. However, little attention has been given to the linguistic interpretation of these models. The use of relational models is recommended since their development follows a natural sequence based on the original ideas about fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, involving the esti...

This study investigated how the main linguistic traits of stream of consciousness novels are realized in Persian translations and also the frequency of translation strategies used by translators. Accordingly, a restricted set of linguistic parameters which Totò (2014) asserts can show the stream of thought of character(s), is chosen including punctuation, exclamatory utterances, interjections, ...

Using shRNA high-throughput screening, we identified H-Ras as a regulator of antiviral activity, whose depletion could enhance Sindbis virus replication. Further analyses indicated that depletion of H-Ras results in a robust increase in vesicular stomatitis virus infection and a decrease in Sendai virus (SeV)-induced retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptor (RLR) signaling. Interestingly, h...
