The effect of Persian and almond gums (0, 0.1 and 0.2% (w/w)) as fat replacers and milk fat (0.4, 0.9, and 1.4% (w/w)) on physicochemical and rheological characteristics and microstructure of low-fat Iranian White cheese was studied. Persian and almond gums both effectively increased moisture-to-protein (M:P) ratio of low-fat cheese samples which in turn led to a significant reduction in the ha...

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were used to authenticate ramets of 11 Persian walnut ( Juglans regia L.) varieties. All varieties and 28 their (n = 39) genotyped with 17 SSR markers. The genetic profiles revealed two off-types: the Serr 4 (S4) Vina 1 (V1). fingerprints individuating possible using 13 polymorphic SSRs that could be in future identify clones these Except for ‘Chandler’, eac...

This paper reports the present results of a research on unsupervised Persian morpheme discovery. In this paper we present a method for discovering the morphemes of Persian language through automatic analysis of corpora. We utilized a Minimum Description Length (MDL) based algorithm with some improvements and applied it to Persian corpus. Our improvements include enhancing the cost function usin...

The exponential growth of the Persian blogosphere and the increased number of neologisms create a major challenge in NLP applications of Persian blogs. This paper describes a method for extracting and classifying newly constructed words and borrowings from Persian blog posts. The analysis of the occurrence of neologisms across five distinct topic categories points to a correspondence between th...

Segmentation is a process of dividing cursive words into smaller parts in order to decrease complexity and increase accuracy of handwriting recognition process. However it is a complicated and timeconsuming task. In this paper, we introduce the concepts of basic shapes and explore its application for segmentation of Persian words. Considering a set of pre-defined shapes include line and open or...

Word Sense Disambiguation has long been a central problem in computational linguistics. Word Sense Disambiguation is the ability to identify the meaning of words in context in a computational manner. Statistical and supervised approaches require a large amount of labeled resources as training datasets. In contradistinction to English, the Persian language has neither any semantically tagged cor...

Two new species of two genera of the order Diphyllidea van Beneden in Carus, 1863, Halysioncum Caira, Marques, Jensen, Kuchta et Ivanov, 2013 and Echinobothrium van Beneden, 1849 sensu stricto are described from Aetomylaeus cf. nichoffi (Bloch et Schneider) off the Iranian coast of the Persian Gulf. Halysioncum kishiense sp. n. differs from all other congeners in the number of apical hooks with...

A total of 299 fish belonging to ten teleost species were studied in Iranian waters at the north-eastern coast of the Persian Gulf for larval trypanorhynch cestode infection. The following trypanorhynch species were identified: Callitetrarhynchus gracilis Pintner, 1931, Pseudogilquinia thomasi (Palm, 2000), Pterobothrium lesteri Campbell and Beveridge, 1996 and Pseudolacistorhynchus shipleyi (S...
