In some languages, gender is a grammatical property of the noun. Grammatical gender identification enhances machine translation of such languages. This paper reports a three staged approach for grammatical gender identification that makes use of word and morphological features only. A Morphological Analyzer is used to extract the morphological features. In stage one, association rule mining is ...

In Cuba, several Biomphalaria species have been reported such as B. orbignyi, B. schrammi, B. helophila, B. havanensis and B. peregrina; only the latter three are considered as potential hosts of Schistosoma mansoni. The specific identification of Biomphalaria species is based on anatomical and morphological characters of genital organs and shells. The correct identification of these snails is ...

Tephritid fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) include serious agricultural insect pests in the world. Besides causing severe damage to fruits and vegetables, this kind of pests could enter countries or regions with international trade easily. Strict trade quarantine measures are imposed in many countries or regions in order to prevent their introduction and spread. Thus accurate and rapid identi...

an investigation on the fauna of myrmeleontidae (neuroptera) was carried out in markazi province in august 2009. identification and taxonomy was studied via examining morphological characteristics and their internal male genitalia. as a result, distoleon nuristanus hã¶lzel, 1972 is presently reporting as new for iran fauna

background and purpose: trichosporon is a genus of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast which is widely distributed in nature and is found in tropical and temperate areas. the aim of this work was to study the isolation, identification and molecular analysis of trichosporon species in soil. materials and methods: in order to isolate and identify trichosporon species in soil, 30 samples were collect...

BACKGROUNDS: Gyrodactylus is a small monogenean ectoparasite that lives on the skin and fins of most of the world's fish species. Gyrodactylus appears to be one of the most prevalent parasites found in ornamental fish, especially in Cyprinids. Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are a popular ornamental fish that are highly contaminated by Gyrodcatylus. OBJECTIVES: The present study is aimed to identi...

background: toxocara is a common nematode of cats in different parts of iran. despite the close association of cats with human, no attempt has been done so far for molecular identification of this nematode in the country. therefore, current study was performed on identification of some isolates of toxocara from stray cats in shiraz, fars province, southern iran, based on morphological and molec...

For sponges (phylum Porifera), there is no reliable molecular protocol available for species identification. To address this gap, we developed a multilocus-based Sponge Identification Protocol (SIP) validated by a sample of 37 sponge species belonging to 10 orders from South Australia. The universal barcode COI mtDNA, 28S rRNA gene (D3-D5), and the nuclear ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region were evaluated f...
