Rice comes second after wheat in Iran`s food consumption economy. However Iran is one of the greatest rice importer countries all over the world because of its rising population and recent growth in GDP. This paper presents an analysis of cointegration test between rice import and it`s economic factors over the period 1990-2011, employing Engle-Granger model. At first, Dickey-Fuller test shows ...

In the present study Iran’s rice imports trend is forecasted, using artificial neural networks and econometric methods, during 2009 to 2013, and their results are compared. The results showed that feet forward neural network leading with less forecast error and had better performance in comparison to econometric techniques and also, other methods of neural networks, such as Recurrent networks a...

Basmati is one of the most popular types of rice in the world, representing approximately 40% of the dry rice market. Being twice as expensive as non-Basmati rice, it is also often mixed with other types of rice. Approximately 46% of sold Basmati rice is adulterated. The term Basmati is a customer generic name for 15 varieties of rice produced exclusively in India and Pakistan. Nine of the 15 v...

Policymakers in Papua New Guinea want to expand the local rice industry. Currently, imports from Australia meet 99 per cent of rice demand. The Papua New Guinea government has an initial goal of reducing imports by 40 per cent. This self-sufficiency drive is fuelled by the size of the rice import bill, the desire for more jobs and the worry that it is wrong to import food. Concern over rice imp...

Nuclear import of proteins that contain classical nuclear localization signals (NLS) is initiated by importin alpha, a protein that recognizes and binds to the NLS in the cytoplasm. In this paper, we have cloned a cDNA for a novel importin alpha homologue from rice which is in addition to our previously isolated rice importin alpha1a and alpha2, and we have named it rice importin alpha1b. In vi...
