this study attempted to explore if teaching english collocations through two different modes of awareness-raising and input flooding has any possible differential effect on immediate retention as well as retention in a delayed assessment. it also compared the possible differential effect of teaching english collocations implicitly and explicitly on actively using the items in writing. m...

In order to investigate the effects of sowing date (SD) and single irrigation (SI) amounts on yield and yield components of rainfed wheat varieties, a field experiment was conducted as split-split plots arranged in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2002-2004 at main station of Dryland Agricultural Research Institute in Maragheh, Iran. Treatments included three s...

This pot experiment was carried out to investigate the efficacy of certain Zn-amino chelates, i.e. Zn-glycine [Zn(Gly)2], Zn-arginine [Zn(Arg)2] and Zn-histidine [Zn(His)2] in supplying zinc for wheat was compared with a commercial Zn-sulfate fertilizer. Three wheat cultivars, differing in Zn-efficiency, including Back Cross Rowshan, Kavir and Durum were planted at Research Greenhouse of Isfaha...

The ability of plants to grow and produce high yields in soils with low zinc (Zn) availability is different among wheat cultivars. However, the physiological mechanism behind Zn efficiency is not currently fully understood and the putative role of Zn transporter proteins in contributing to Zn efficiency has not yet been determined. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the expression ...

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

this study was an attempt to investigate the effect of teaching meta cognitive strategies on iranian intermediate efl students speaking proficiency. in this study the researcher has employed metacognitive strategies taken from brown (2000) to teach speaking strategies to number of participants. the participants were intermediate students of shokouh language institute; they were divided into an ...

since the 1960s the age effects on learning both first and second language have been explored by many linguists and applied linguists (e.g lennerberg, 1967; schachter, 1996; long, 1990) and the existence of critical period for language acquisition was found to be a common ground of all these studies. in spite of some common findings, some issues about the impacts of age on acquiring a second or...

In order to investigate the effect of water quantity in subsurface drip irrigation on water use efficiency of palm yield and yield components, and determining suitable irrigation treatments for three different date cultivars, a split plot experiment design in a randomized complete block design with three replications were applied for three cropping years (2013-2016), at Behbahan Agricultural Re...
