Finding the rhetoric meaning of understanding process is very important in identifying the meaning of the Qur'anic verses. The importance becomes more apparent when the interpreter tries to translate the meaning of the term "However" into Persian. This word is similar verbs and is one of the terms through with the understanding process can be presented. Without understanding the meaning of the verse and not knowing the interpretation and rhetoric meaning of this word, the translator will misinterpret. The purpose of this article is to examine the rhetorical aspects of "understanding" in the Quran, especially the meaning of "However". For this purpose, we refer to various interpretations and considered their meanings in the context of the verses. Therefore, we chose 10 verses that the word "However" is used. Also, 16 top translation of the Qur'an into Persian were chosen and according to the translation and dictionaries, the meanings of the words in each of the ten verses were reviewed. In this way we try to use the descriptive and analytical approach to critically examine the translations and thus give a more accurate sense of the word. In this paper, we conclude that many Iranian translators of the Qur'an neglected the true meaning of this word because of the lack of attention to the rhetorical role of "However" in its translation. Therefore, we tried to provide a more accurate meaning of this word considering the rhetorical use of "However" and the context of selected verses from one side and referring to the interpretation and understanding of its true meaning on the other hand.

The present study aims at investigating and comparing discourse markers (DMs) and their functions in the Qur’anic Surah of Al-0mran. To do this, the collected lexical data of the Sarah analyzed based on the theoretical framework of Bruce Fraser (2005).

The selected samples of this study taken out of the Persian and English translation of the Holy Qur’an. The collected discourse markers classified based on Fraser’s Model including: Elaborative Discourse Markers (EDMs), Contrastive Discourse Markers (CDMs) and Inferential Discourse Markers (IDMs). Sequential discourse markers found, were then coherently configurated. The results of the research revealed that the variety of DMs used by the translators as adjuvant and facilitating strategy in order to decode the deep meaning of the holy manuscript. The results also showed that the most frequency of DMs found in EDMs, which commonly used to elaborate, describe and explain the considered concepts in the Surah. Finally, the comparison of the related translations and identifying the existing sequences of DMs can lead to better exploration of the Holy manuscript of the Qur’an, translated by translators on one hand, and to deep understanding of the holy text on the other hand. The related findings may contribute to the other researchers whose main scope of interest is the text of the Holy Qur’an.

Objective: Hepatitis C virus is the major cause of viral hepatitis and its diagnosis in suspected specimens is of great importance. The risk of transfusion- transmitted virus infection is primarily the result of failure in serological screening tests to detect recently infected donors in the pre-seroconversion window period of infection. Therefore, sensitive and accurate diagnosis of HCV prior to antibody production to reduce window period is necessary. Materials and Methods: In the present study, a sensitive and specific RT-Nested PCR method for detection of a conserved HCV 5'UTR sequence was developed. Two pairs of primers for amplification of the target sequence in two rounds of PCR were selected. The developed RT-Nested PCR assay was performed on HCV-antibody confirmed positive samples as well as negative controls and standard samples. In order to compare the results, One Step RT-PCR kit was used in this study. Results: 25 HCV-positive plasma samples whose positivity were confirmed by ELISA and Western Blot tests, also as well as 10 fold dilutions of a high viral load plasma sample obtained from a HCV-positive patient as standard samples and 25 negative control plasmas from healthy blood donors were collected and tested by this assay. In all of positive samples a 175bp band was observed on agarose gel electrophoresis, but no band could be detected in negative control plasma. Results from developed RT-PCR assay and One Step RT-PCR kit showed a good correlation. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the developed RT-Nested PCR assay has a good sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of HCV infection. It has the advantage of viral genome detection prior to seroconversion and can be used to detect HCV infection during window period

In this study, spray behavior of bio-ethanol as a regenerative fuel that reduces emissions such as NOX and CO is investigated in a combustion chamber and compared to its different blends with gasoline. For this purpose, microscopic and macroscopic spray characteristics and also evaporated fuel mass after the injection are modeled and investigated using Fire 2013. It is concluded by increasing bio-ethanol content in the fuel, evaporated fuel mass, spray cone angle, spray area and sauter mean diameter increases, however spray tip penetration remains roughly constant. Increase of injection pressure, decreases spray cone angle and suater mean diameter and increases evaporated fuel mass, spray area and spray tip penetration. If the energy content and time of injection of bio-ethanol and gasoline be equivalent the results vary significantly compared to previous cases. In this case bio-ethanol has a longer spray tip penetration and spray area, higher fuel mass evaporated and smaller spray cone angle and sauter mean diameter compared to gasoline. The increased spray tip penetration and spray area in this case may lead to piston impingement and bore wetting resulting increased hydrocarbon emissions and decreasing engine efficiency.

Rice bran is an inexpensive, underutilized major by product of milling, consisting approximately 10% weight of rough rice. Protein concentrates were prepared from defatted rice bran and analyzed for their functional properties. Rice bran proteins were prepared by alkaline extracted. The yield of rice bran proteins Hashemi were 76%. The water solubility of Hashemi was less at pH 6.0 and increased gradually below pH 6.0 and above pH 6.0. Above pH 8.0, the solubility continued to increase but at a slower rate. The pH was found to influence the emulsifying activities and emulsion stabilities of Hashemi. The emulsifying activity of Hashemi significantly increased at pH 8.0. Maximum emulsion activity increased in Hashemi (0.135). As emulsifying stability data showed, maximum emulsion stabilities increased at pH=8, (110.6 min). At pH=10 protein exhibited the best foaming capacity, the foaming stability was not desirable. At pH=8 the most emulsifying activity and the most emulsion stability was observed. The results indicated that RBP isolate of Hashemi can be effectively used for various food formulations like weaning foods, dry mixes, baked foods, whipped toppings, salad dressings etc. due to its high foaming and emulsifying properties. Furthermore, the functionality of RBP was also affected by pH and approaching to alkaline conditions can be improved the various functional properties and extension field of application in food systems.

Mulberry is a fruit that has a considerable acceptance among consumers. The short harvest season and low persistence of this fruit have led to the use of methods such as freezing that have the least effect on phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties and sensory properties of the mulberry. One of the problems of sensory evaluation is the non-parametric results of the answers and the low accuracy of their analysis. Today, methods such as fuzzy logic allow inaccurate parameters to be analyzed by mathematical methods. In the present study, mulberry was stored in a freezer at -18 °C for six months and removed from the freezer at 0, 72 h, one month, two months and six months. After juice making, the sensory evaluation was performed using five-point hedonic method and the data were analyzed using fuzzy logic methodology, while attributes were color, aroma, taste, and feel mouth. Also, pH, acidity, antioxidant activity and total phenol content were evaluated. Sensory evaluation of the samples showed that the freezing of the mulberry increased the overall suitability of the samples in 72 hours and did not show a decrease in sensory properties during 6 months. Panelists assessed the importance of sensory attributes including taste, mouthfeel, fragrance, and color, as well. Although, sensory evaluation did not decrease the sensory of juice, significant decrease of pH (19.83%), increase in acidity (0.31%) and a decrease in antioxidant activity (about 14%) and phenolic compounds (about 21%) during freezing was observed. According to the obtained results, freezing can be suggested as an acceptable method for long storage of mulberry fruit.

Rice bran protein is a valuable plant protein that has received much attention in recent years due to its unique functional, nutritional, and hypoallergenic properties. The purpose of this paper is to study the utilization of the rice bran protein (RBP) in low-fat dairy dessert for children who have been shown milk protein allergy. Protein concentrates were prepared from defatted rice bran and analyzed for their functional properties. Rice (Champa Variety) bran proteins were prepared by alkaline extracted. The functional properties of rice bran protein (solubility, foaming capacity and stability, water and oil absorption capacity and Emulsifying properties) were determined. Also physicochemical, sensory properties and texture of low-fat dairy dessert were determined. It was found that pH was significantly effective in the RBP functional properties (P<0.05). Water absorption capacity and oil absorption capacity of RBP were obtained 4.21 g/g and 3.87 g/g, respectively. The results indicated that RBP concentrate can be effectively used for various functional food formulations like dairy dessert. The effect of protein on the color properties of dairy dessert was significant. Whiteness Index was, however, decreased by increasing rice bran protein but yellowness index was increased by increasing rice bran protein in the dessert. There was no significant difference between protein-containing dessert samples (P<0.05). Textural characteristics of dairy dessert containing rice bran protein were significantly different from dairy dessert containing milk protein. Dairy dessert containing rice bran protein showed more desirable sensory properties than the protein-free sample but dairy dessert containing skim milk was better.

Additives analysis plays important role in food quality control and has a great impact on public health. Therefore, rapid detection of these compounds in food samples is important in food safety. In this study, reduced graphene oxide /Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite (rG-Fe₃O₄-NC) was synthesized in the presence of sour lemon peel extract as a reducer and stabilizer agent in aqueous solution. For the first time multivariate optimization based on rotatable central composite design (RCCD) coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize effective experimental variables for fabrication of electrode. An experimental design has been used to examine and optimize the impacts of diverse experimental parameters like the pH and concentration of the nanocomposite in rG-Fe₃O₄-NC. The optimal conditions were pH: 6 and the concentration of the nanocomposite: 8%. The synthesized nanocomposites were characterized by TEM and XRD techniques. The rGO modified carbon paste electrode (rG-Fe₃O₄-NC/CPE) was used as a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of vanillin. Interference of vitamin B₂, methionine, valine, glycine and KBR, KCl and glucose were checked in the presence of 25 µM vanillin at surface of rG-Fe₃O₄-NC/CPE with acceptable error 5%. Results confirmed that 500-folde of above compounds have not any important interference in monitoring process of 25 µM vanillin. The vanillin sensor showed linear range between 01 nM – 250 μM and a low detection limit of 0.3 nM. Finally, the rG-Fe₃O₄-NC/CPE was successfully used for determining vanillin in food samples. Therefore, this sensor can be used in food industry to the online determination of vanillin in flavored milks and ice cream.

Chia seeds are considered as a rich source of bioactive and functional compounds. Due to the fact that bioactive compounds are unstable against environmental factors The stability of these compounds was important And encapsulation is a useful way to increase the stability of these compounds. In this study, nano-capsules of chia seed extract (CSE) with nano liposomes and basil seed gum (BSG) were produced and its physicochemical properties and release were investigated. nano-liposomes were first prepared using lecithin and different concentrations of CSE and then coated with three levels of BSG. The physicochemical properties and the CSE release from nano-capsules were examined. The lowest mean particle size (59.23 nm), low PDI index (0.328) and high encapsulation efficiency (80.06%) were observed in the Nano-capsules containing 0.5% CSE coated with 1.0% BSG (L0.5BSG1). Since the zeta potential of nano-capsules produced in this study was higher than ± 30 mV, so they had high stability. Based on the TEM images the L0.5BSG1 nano-capsules had spherical and irregular shape and low tendency to accumulate. The FTIR analyses showed physical interaction between nano-capsule components and also confirmed the presence of phenolic compounds in the nano-capsules. In terms of release rate in the gastric and intestinal simulated conditions, the CSE-loaded nano-capsules had a controlled release relative to free CSE. Finally, the results of this study demonstrated that L0.5BSG1 nano-capsules could possibly be used successfully in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

The number of waste tires around the world has been increasing rapidly in recent years and has become an urgent a serious environmental and economic problem. Today, accumulation of waste tires in the environment one of the biggest threats is to protect the environment and recycling of scrap tires is the best strategy to solve the problem. One of the methods of disposal of waste tire is to use in construction and geotechnical projects. Therefore, it is believed that the reinforced soil with tire becomes a wider application in the future, especially in countries where labor costs are low and machinery is not widespread. Eight large tire factories in the country produces an average of approximately 13.5 million tires ring. With an import of more than 4 million tire rings, an average of 17.5 million tire rings are an average annual consumption of tire. Among which on average, more than 100 thousand ring waste the production line of various factories, with tires consumed and used, and significant high volume of waste creates. In this paper, an experimental study of the soil slopes reinforced with scrap tire horizontal layer based on displacement investigated. Digital images were taken of the side of the model during incremental loading and particle image velocimetry method (PIV) was used. Some important parameters such as the length, number and location of the reinforcing tire layers are studied in this paper. Also in this paper compares the unreinforcement slope with soil slope reinforcement different arrangements and numbers of different layers with variable length (total 25 experiments) have been studied on the horizontal displacement of the slope. The results show that use of tire reinforcement has significant effects on the horizontal displacement under the footing and edge slope. The best reinforcement position is to improve the bearing capacity and lateral displacement of the upper slope. When the four-layer reinforced tire with a length of 60 cm placed in the upper half of the slope is compared to unreinforcement slope, the bearing capacity more than tripled and lateral displacement on the footing of more than 3.10 times and lateral displacement of the upper edge of the slope of more than 2.7-fold reduction. When the six, eight and nine layers of tire reinforcement with a length of 60 cm on the slope are compared to unreinforcement slope the lateral displacement under footing the substrate more than 3.5 times and the lateral displacement in the upper edge of the slope is more than 2 times lower. Three layers of tire with a length of 60 cm in the upper one-third of the slope relative to the unreinforcement slope, the bearing capacity is more than 2.3 times and the lateral displacement of the beneath footing and the edge of the slope are 1.3-1.6 times, respectively. As the length of the reinforcement layer increases, the bearing capacity and lateral displacement is reduced significantly increase. Especially when the length of the reinforcement tire is 60 centimeters, reinforcement length of the rupture wedge passes improve the bearing capacity and lateral displacement footing is significant.

One of the most important challenges to the translation process is implementing the criteria for evaluating its quality to narrative scripts, especially in transferring cultural elements from one language to another. The translation quality assessment of Juliane House is a linguistic process consisting of three basic steps, implemented within the context of the text type, the quality of interpretations used and based on functional equivalence between the source text and the translated text. This research is an attempt to compare the above criteria by translating selected excerpts from book With Panegyrist of War in the Territory of Name and Disgraceby Nader Ebrahimi that includes his narrative from the Iraq-Iran war. The descriptive-analytical research seeks to achieve a proper equivalence between the source and the translated text in three steps: a thorough and comprehensive understanding of the text, its interpretation and translation. Finally, in the theory of Juliane House, the quality of translation is not merely a matter of linguistics, but of cultural practice, since the author expresses his literary experience in a particular cultural field and the text demands a particular audience who is familiar with the culture of the front line. As such, the translation of the elements of this narrative is based on overt translation in House theory. The translation method of many of the terms and expressions in this narrative is based on House's theory of descriptive method, while the translation method of most narratives is literal.
