Surface charge of soils is measured using two different approaches: ion adsorption and potentiometric titration. Most models of surface charge chemistry of soils have been derived from the data obtained by potentiometric titration. The Uehara and Gillmanُs model was used to estimate the surface charges at some soil pH range in three forest soils of Lahidjan region. The selected soils (Typic Udor...

the present research was conducted to accomplish two purposes. firstly, it aimed to explore and describe schematic structure or what halliday and hassan (1989, p.64) have called “generic structure potential” (gsp) of american english, iranian persian and iranian english newspaper editorials within systemic functional linguistics. secondly, a quantitative cross-comparison was made to investigate...

abstract i the purpose of this study was to launch a thorough investigation concerning the possibility of differing orientations to the writing proficiency construct by native and non-native english speaking teacher raters. it mainly revolved around the international english language testing system (ielts) that is widely administered and employed as a measure of general proficiency in englis...

In agriculture, cow manures are used to enhance soil fertility and productivity. Escherichia coli is the most common fecal coliform in cow manure and considered as an index for microbial contamination of groundwater resources. The objective of this study was to investigate the transport of Escherichia coli (released from cow manure) through the field soil. Lysimeters (with internal diameter of ...

  Effect of change from the conventional (flooding) to subsurface irrigation system was studied on mature pistachio trees (Cultivar Ohadi) in Kerman pistachio research station for four years. This experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design including 7 treatments and 3 replications. The experiment also used two irrigation intervals (7&14 days) and three water rates accordin...

within communicative, interactive, and learner-centered framework of language teaching and learning, students need to learn four skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing for their educational success. but of all the language skills, reading enjoys a paramount significance in so many second or foreign language academic contexts. in spite of its importance, language learners still have...
