In this study, the predictive performance of three Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), i.e. Co-Active NeuroFuzzy Inference System (CANFIS), Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and MLP integrated with Genetic Algorithm (GA) in the Zoshk-Abardeh watershed were compared. In this study, three scenarios were considered and simulated in each model. In order to simulate the scenario S1 water flow were fe...

For managing the discharge of water resource, utilizing high precision measuring instruments and workers is necessary that can be lead to high cost on the governments. The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach that can provide a good estimation of the well water discharge without human intervention and the use of measuring equipment. In this research, 38 wells with suitable conditi...

the present dissertation aims to investigate four-word lexical bundles in applied linguistics research articles by iranian and internationally-published writers. the aims of this study are two-fold: first of all, attempts have been made to create a comprehensive list of the most commonly used four-word lexical bundles categorized by their type and token frequency, their structural characteristi...

as some definitions show, idioms are expressions whose meanings cannot be obtained from individual words. in every society, people use their own conceptions and feelings through different idioms and expressions. so every culture and society has their own idioms. some scholars proposed methods for translating idioms but baker’s strategies are very important and constructive. this research tried ...

Emitter clogging for using agricultural wastewater increases the operating costs and reduces the motivation of farmers. The new method to reduce the emitters clogging is the use of a Merus ring that does not have the problems of chlorination and pickling methods, such as pollution and high cost. Due to the importance of agricultural wastewater use, this study investigated the emitters clogging ...

Hydrological models for evaluating and predicting the amount of available water in basins, flood frequency analysis, and developing strategies to deal with destructive floods are expanding daily. In this study, HEC-GeoHMS and Arc Hydro extensions in ArcGIS software and the HEC-HMS model were used to simulate design flood hydrographs in the Aydooghmush basin in the northwest of Iran. SCS-CN, SCS...

previous studies have aimed at testing a hypothesis but the present study is data-first research in which researcher tries to form a theory from data rather than the use of data to test a hypothesis. this study aims at exploring teachers perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of the current syllabus for college preparatory course. eight experienced teachers were selected to collect data du...
