Graphology is the science of study and analysis of the personality of an individual from his/her style of handwriting. In western communities, the most important application of graphology is the recruitment of job applicants. In this regard, computer aided extraction and analysis of features from handwriting can be of great assistance to graphologists. The most predominant features of handwriti...

A new method for feature extraction based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) implementation is proposed in this paper. The specific application is offline Farsi handwritten digit recognition. The classification is based on a simple two layer MLP (Multi Layer Perceptron). This method of feature extraction is appropriate for FPGA implementation as it can be implemented only with addition an...

Having Farsi as the underlying language and using a test collection of 166,774 documents and 100 topics, this experiment evaluates the retrieval effectiveness of different IR models while using a light and a plural stemmer as well as n-grams and trunc-n indexing strategies. Moreover the impact of stoplist removal is evaluated. According to the obtained results the DFR-I(ne)C2 model is the best ...

BACKGROUND Restoring sleep is associated with a broad variety of favorable cognitive, emotional, social and behavioral benefits during the day. This holds particularly true for adolescents, as maturational, social, cognitive, emotional and behavioral changes might unfavorably impact on adolescents' sleep. Among adolescents, poor sleep hygiene practices are a potentially modifiable risk factor t...

There are some sorts of ‘Preposition + Noun’ combinations in Farsi that apparently a Prepositional Phrase almost behaves as Compound Prepositions. As they are not completely behaving as compounds, it is doubtful that the process of word formation is a morphological one. The analysis put forward by this paper proposes “incorporation” by which an N is incorporated to a P constructing a compound p...
