the purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the relation between efl teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and their success. moreover, the study was an analysis of the teacher age, gender and years of teaching experience, to examine the manner in which these factors relate to teacher self-efficacy as defined by bandura (1997) and teaching effectiveness as evaluated by their own student...

Drought stress is one of the most important restricting factors for plant yield in arid and semi-arid regions. Seaweed extract, as a biofertilizer, enhances plant resistance against abiotic stresses via accelerating seed germination, root growth enhancement and uptake of plant nutrients. The present research was carried out to investigate the effects of foliar spraying of Ascophyllum nodosum se...

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

The rapid population growth and the need for more agricultural production necessitate more attention to water shortage and enhancing water productivity. To assess water productivity and supply:demand ratio index in sugar beet, this experiment was carried out using SUCROS growth simulation model. Long-term climatic data and collecting questionnaires from farmers were used to assessing water prod...

Drought is one of the most frequent abiotic stresses. Use of chemical fertilizers resulted in pollution of soil, water and air. For this reason today again considered organic fertilizers. Vermicompost is an organic fertilizer which has a potential influence on plant growth as well as stress tolerance. Deficiency irrigation water, severely reduce the yield of crops, especially olives. Thus, a gr...

For prevention of soil compaction, knowledge of allowable compression stress limit (compaction strength) in soil is important. Pre-compaction stress ( σpc) was introduced as soil compaction strength and often used as a criterion for evaluation of soil susceptibility to compaction. In this research, pre-compaction stress was measured for a sandy loam soil with plate sinkage (PST) and confined co...
