iv abstract this study examined the linguistic behaviors of two iranian efl teachers each of them teaching learners of two similar proficiency levels, a beginner level and an intermediate level, to investigate the relationship between the learners proficiency levels and the amounts and purposes for l1 use by the two teachers. the study was carried out to investigate whether there were differe...

in solvo-hydrothermal method, xrd pattern was indicated presence of intermediate of ammonium octatmolybdate and ammonium tetramolybdate, which were changed to stble phase of ?-moo3 annealing. sem images were indicated nanoparticle with semispheical morphology and tem image was demonstrated nanoparticles with a diameter size of 25nm. also in impregnate method. the xrd pattern was shown high crys...

until now many studies have been done over recent decades throughout the world to show the right age to start english. in iran, research is still at an early stage in terms of evaluating teachers’ beliefs about teaching children english. the problem of at what age to start teaching english and how to teach english to elementary school children has not been solved neither in this country nor els...

all analytical methods are generally based on the measurement of a parameter or parameters which are somehow related to the concentration of the species.an ideal analytical method is one in which the concentration of a species can be measured to a high degree precision and accuracy and with a high sensitivity. unfortunately finding such a method is very difficult or sometimes even impossible.in...

this thesis aims to adduce an unmitigated and comprehensive explication concerning the relationship of three significant elements of fiction: setting, chracter and theme. my research is basically placed on two outstanding novels of the 19th century: emily brontes wuthering heights and thomas hardys return of the native. my endeavour lies in studying the correlation among the three above-mention...

oxidative addition reactions of 1,4-diiodo-butane and 1,3-diiodo-propane with [ptme2(ph2phen)]; in which ph2phen=4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, were studied in different solvents such as acetone and benzene.oxidative addition reaction of [pt me2(ph2phen)] with i(ch2)4i and i(ch2)3i produced the [pt me2i(ch2)4(ph2phen)i] (1a) and [pt me2i(ch2)3(ph2phen)i] (1b).all the platinum (iv) products w...

today, scouring is one of the important topics in the river and coastal engineering so that the most destruction in the bridges is occurred due to this phenomenon. whereas the bridges are assumed as the most important connecting structures in the communications roads in the country and their importance is doubled while floodwater, thus exact design and maintenance thereof is very crucial. f...

in this thesis, a new optically active poly(amide-imide) (pai) was synthesized by the indirect polycondensation reaction of the l-phenylalanine based diacid chloride and 4,4?-diaminodiphenylether in the presence of triethylamine in n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. the formation of pai was confirmed by ftir, 1h nmr and elemental analysis. in next step, the surface of titanium dioxide (tio2) nanoparticles...
