This paper examined the acoustic properties of the pitch accent of South Kyungsang Korean, focusing on generational differences. Kyungsang Korean has lexical pitch accents, whereas standard Seoul Korean does not. However, whether the pitch accents are maintained by younger Kyungsang speakers is questionable given the influence of Seoul Korean. Through comparisons between older and younger speak...

he purpose of this study is to demonstrate how we, especially children and adolescents, are influenced by the media; this issue had investigated by analyzing the representation of gender roles in the Game of Thrones Series. There were based on three social learning, socialization and cultivation theories. This research had done a quantitative content analysis. The variables included 20 gender a...

Fluorescence microscopy has become an important tool in biological and medical sciences for imaging thin specimen, even living ones. Due to Out-of-focus blurring and noise the acquired images are degraded and therefore it can be difficult to analyse them. In the last decade many methods have been proposed to restorate these images. One of the most popular methods to restore microscopy images is...

morphophysiological variations of field bindweed populations in tehran province was studied during 2006 and 2007 growing seasons using multivariate analysis methods. to determine the variations, 43 morphological and physiological characters were considered biometrically.  the main characters at principal component analysis (pca) consisted of leaf dry weight, shoot dry weight, and leaf area to i...

Morphometric characters are important to estimate the population of crustacean species. In the present study, relationships between various morphometric characters of the freshwater crab Sodhiana iranica was studied at Eelood freshwater spring of southern Iran. Crabs were collected randomly from April 2012 to April 2013 bimonthly. A total of 69 (43.67%) females and 89 (56.32%) males were col...

Accurate stock assessments for each of the dominant species of sand lances in the northeast Atlantic Ocean and adjacent areas are not available due to the lack of a reliable identification procedure; therefore, appropriate measures of fisheries management or conservation of sand lances cannot be implemented. In this study, detailed morphological and molecular features are assessed to discrimina...

For a reliable understanding of cellular processes, high resolution 3D images of the investigated cells are necessary. Unfortunately, the ability of fluorescence microscopes to image a cell in 3D is limited since the resolution along the optical axis is by a factor of two to three worse than the transversal resolution. Standard microscopy image deblurring algorithms like the Total Variation reg...
