Solitary confinement, Section 350, Evin prison in Tehran

I was born in 1985 in Tehran, Iran. I started my political and human rights activism at university by founding a secular student association and publishing student magazines. Because of this, the university disciplinary committee did not allow me to study for two semesters. I was arrested by intelligence officials in 2008 and spent 38 days in solitary confinement in Evin prison (Tehran). That was the first time I was faced with psychological torture. During the repression after the presidential election in 2009, I was arrested for a second time. It was by the Revolutionary Guards (‘Sepah-e- Pasdaran’) and this time I spent about nine months in solitary confinement. This time marked me in many senses. Finally, because of those two incidents, I was convicted by the Revolutionary Court and sentenced to prison. After about six years in Section 350, Evin Prison, I was freed in 2014

Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Chaetopyrena penicillata from Iran with description of a hyphomycete synanomorph

During a survey of fungi associated with Russian olive fruit rot in Northern Iran, a coelomycete fungus with setose pycnidia was isolated from symptomatic fruits. The fungus was identified as Chaetopyrena penicillata based on morphological characteristics and sequence data of ITS and LSU rDNA. A hyphomycete synanamorph, which was observed in pure cultures of this species for the first time, is described. The morphology and phylogeny of Chaetopyrena penicillata is discussed

The Fixed Point Method for Fuzzy Approximation of a Functional Equation Associated with Inner Product Spaces

Th. M. Rassias (1984) proved that the norm defined over a real vector space is induced by an inner product if and only if for a fixed integer ≥2,∑=1‖∑−(1/)=1‖2=∑=1‖‖2∑−‖(1/)=1‖2 holds for all 1,…,∈. The aim of this paper is to extend the applications of the fixed point alternative method to provide a fuzzy stability for the functional equation ∑=1(∑−(1/)=1∑)==1(∑)−((1/)=1) which is said to be a functional equation associated with inner product spaces
