this study investigated how group formation method, namely student-selected vs. teacher-assigned, influences the results of the community model of teaching creative writing; i.e., group dynamics and group outcome (the quality of performance). the study adopted an experimental comparison group and microgenetic research design to observe the change process over a relatively short period of time. ...

in recent years many researchers have been focused on interaction of small molecules with dna. dna is generally the primary intracellular of anticancer drugs, so the interaction between small molecules and dna can cause dna damage in cancer cells, blocking the division of cancer cells and resulting in cell death. the flavonoids are a large group of polyphenolic natural products that are widely ...

Early vigor is an imperative trait and its role become more important under drought stress condition. Genotypes with better early vigor cover above the soil plane, reduce evaporation of soil surface and increase weed competitiveness. In this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between seven bread wheat to study the genetic of early vigor. Parents and F1 progenies w...

 Maize germplasm from CIMMYT is genetically most diverse in the world and is exceedingly useful for broadening the genetic base of temperate maize germplasm. It is a tough challenge for improving efficiency and reliability of extracting the best suitable material from exotic germplasm. So, this study was done to determine the optimum number of testers and suitable testers for screening a maize ...

asymmetric membranes are widely used in many industrial membrane separation processes. the major advantage of membrane filtration over the conventional process is its ability to remove a wider spectrum of particles without using any chemicals. hollow fiber configuration offer many advantages over flat-sheet or tubular membranes. the spinning process of hollow fiber may look simple, yet it is te...

seismic retrofit strategies have been developed in the past few decades following the introduction of new seismic provisions and the availability of advanced materials and methods. it can be observed that new approaches to deal with more lateral forces are more innovative and more energy absorbent. in line with this, there is a growing trend toward the use of steel shear walls as a system with ...
