my paper has two parts. first, i talk about the golden rule. after introducing the rule and its global importance, i explain why many scholars dismiss it as a vague proverb that leads to absurdities when we try to formulate it clearly. i defend the golden rule against such objections. second, i talk about the golden rule in persia and islam; i consider persian sources (muslim and non-muslim) an...

Low-density languages raise difficulties for standard approaches to natural language processing that depend on large online corpora. Using Persian as a case study, we propose a novel method for bootstrapping MT capability for a low-density language in the case where it relates to a higher density variant. Tajiki Persian is a low-density language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet, while Iranian Pe...

We present results from our analysis of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) data on the L 1641-N outflow region located in the Orion A molecular cloud. The data were obtained with the array camera (ISOCAM) using two broad-band filters, LW2 (6.7 μm), & LW3 (14 μm), and the narrow-band circular variable filter (CVF) which provides low resolution (R=λ/δλ ∼ 40) spectra in the 5–17 μm region. We de...

Aims. Identify the young protostellar counterparts associated to dust millimeter cores of the Vela Molecular Ridge Cloud D through new IR observations (H2 narrow-band at 2.12 μm and N broad band at 10.4 μm) along with an investigation performed on the existing IR catalogues. Methods. The association of mm continuum emission with infrared sources from catalogues (IRAS, MSX, 2MASS), JHK data from...

PURPOSE Historically, treatment of malignant surface lesions has been achieved with linear accelerator based electron beams or superficial x-ray beams. Recent developments in the field of brachytherapy now allow for the treatment of surface lesions with specialized conical applicators placed directly on the lesion. Applicators are available for use with high dose rate (HDR)(192)Ir sources, as w...

Context. Studies of the infrared (IR) emission of cosmic sources have proven essential to constraining the evolutionary history of cosmic star formation and the gravitational accretion of nuclear black holes, because many of these events occur inside heavily dustextinguished environments. Aims. The Spitzer Space Telescope has provided a large amount of data to constrain the nature and cosmologi...

traditional medicines, according to the world health organization, are defined as “the sum total of the knowledge, skill, and practices based on the beliefs, theories, and experiences indigenous to different cultures that are based and developed historically. due to the increasing uses of traditional medicines worldwide, it seems that cognition of their principles and foundations are necessary....
