This study describes morphological diversity and relationship of 14 cultivars and 133 wild fig accessions from central Zagros Mountains located in the west of Iran, based on 58 morphological characters. Among all characters, secondary drooping branches, number of bark tubers, shape of central lobe, length of central lobe/length of lamina, little lateral lobes, shape of leaf without lobed, fruit...

in the present study, for the first time, we document discovery of the predatory mite n. californicus in some rose greenhouses in yasouj, iran. furthermore, variation in spermathecal calyx shape is also discussed.

asian citrus psyllid, diaphorina citri kuwayama, is an important pest of citrus that transmits the bacterial pathogens responsible for citrus greening disease, also called huanglongbing. the aim of the current study was to investigate the shape variations of the forewing among the iranian geographic populations of d. citri, as well as one population from pakistan. the adult psyllids used in thi...

Wave propagation is used as an advanced tool of determining elastic properties of rocks. In spite of being cheap and non destructive tests of rock mechanics, due to its modernity method is not yet replacing the traditional dear and destructive tests. In order to pave ways of replacing this test and making best use of it all effective factors of such method are to be assessed. One fundamental fa...

MA or MS models the variation along one of two axes of the shape space. V A and V represent the shapes with only the pose variation/phenotype variation imposed respectively. To fully span the shape space, Jacobian matrices are used to transfer the phenotype variation to a new pose. They are determined by the corresponding local triangle pairs on the zero shape V and posed shape V. Task 2: 3D Re...
