in fact this study is concerned with the relationship between the variation in thematice structure and the comprehension of spoken language. so the study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any relationship between thematic structure and the comprehension of spoken language? 2. which of the themes would have greated thematic force and be easier for the subjects to comprehend? accord...

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

thermal barrier coatings (tbcs) are used to provide thermal insulation to the hot section components of gas turbines in order to enhance the operating temperature and turbine efficiency. hot corrosion and thermal shocks are the main destructive factors in tbcs which comes as a result of oxygen and molten salt diffusion into the coating. in this thesis atmospheric plasma spraying was used to dep...

abstract the aim of this study was threefold: (1) to investigate the relationship between knowledge of semantic prosody and efl learners general language proficiency; (2) to examine the relationship between qualitative as well as quantitative knowledge of words, and (3) to compare the performance of efl learner on receptive and productive measures of semantic prosody. the study is based on a...

abstract this quasi-experimental study was aimed at examining the impact of storyline complexity on the grammatical accuracy and complexity of advanced and intermediate efl learners. a total of 65 advanced and intermediate efl learners were selected from iran language institute (ili). an intact group including 35 intermediate participants and another intact group with 30 advanced participants ...

Damask rose is one of the oldest and most valuable rose varieties that to some extent, tolerates water deficiency. However, the selection and identification of genotypes that are more tolerant to drought stress will be effective in development of cultivation of the plant. In this case, an experiment was performed under in vitro conditions using polyethylene glycol at five levels (0, 25, 50, 75 ...

In order to investigate the effect of water deficit on yield and morphological characteristics of four alfalfa cultivars an experiment was conducted as a split plot in randomized complete block design with 3 replications in Agriculture Research Center of Khuzestan, Ahwaz, Iran, during 201l-2012. Main plots included irrigation regimes (normal irrigation, irrigation at 50% available water content...

Soil salinity is a serious environmental problem that has negative impacts on growth and production of plants. On the other hand, application of chitosan has recently been increased to enhance the resistance to different stresses, such as salinity. In order to study the effect of chitosan seed-priming on alleviation of salinity stress in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) a factorial expe...

Abstract: Enhanced leaf proline, soluble sugar and soluble protein contents with sever salinity stress can improve stomatal conductance and Relative water content. This can inhibit dry matter depletion due to salinity stress, so can be used for screening of safflower cultivars under salinity stress. To evaluate the changes in leaf proline, soluble sugars, glycinebetaine and protein conte...
