the present study was an attempt to investigate varieties of cloze test and c-test as measures of reading comprehension ability. it aimed at comparing the performances of subjects on different cloze and c-test forms constructed from the same passage. to this end, five versions of cloze test and two versions of c-test were developed by applying different deletion techniques and deletion rates, a...

Back ground: Acid fast bacilli (AFB) positivity using modified Ziehl Neelsen (MZN) staining and jar method was studied in sputum samples obtained by spot morning (SM) and same day (SS2) approaches. Methods: Three specimens (spot, second spot and morning) were collected in 252 patients, duplicate smears were prepared and stained by MZN staining and jar method. Results: Smear positivity was 34 (1...

This studyaims to treat kaolin synthetic wastewaterby using sludge from water treatment plant as a coagulant via the coagulation process. Water (WTS) was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). WTS had an amorphous structure contained high aluminium metal constituents at 25.3%, which can be recovered coagulant. Acidifi...

In this study, the Acid Black 1 dye containing effluent collected from a dyeing unit was examined with the alginate extracted from the marine brown algae, Sargassum sp. for its removal. Batch experiments were carried out using standard Jar test apparatus. Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) Spectroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques were used to characterize the raw algin...

The alpha and beta subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin are secreted both as a combined, noncovalently linked dimer form as well as uncombined, free forms by human trophoblastic cells. We have utilized the cultured choriocarcinoma cell line JAR to determine what regulates the combination of the two subunits. The human chorionic gonadotropin subunits produced by JAR cells were biosynthetical...

After advent of Islam especially through and after the reign of Abbasid caliphs; interest of scientists and engineers wasdrawn towards the” mechanical or ingenious devices”. The wise jar was originally designed by Ahmad ibnMüsä, thefamous Iranian scientist who lived in the 5th century A.H.(9th A.D). It consists of a jar with a mechanically intelligentmechanism inside, which is capable of separa...
