Lettuce is one of the major leafy vegetables that is consumed as fresh and salads crops. Although, today, the tendency is to grow lettuce as hydroponic crop, there is not an optimal nutrient solution and growers use different nutrient solutions for growing lettuce. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to find an optimal nutrient solution to grow lettuce. In this experiment, the effect of va...

A major source of photoassimilates deposited into the seeds is the closest photosynthetic source to the latter sinks. While the contribution made to grain yield by floral parts and the adjacent photosynthetic surfaces has been determined for a number of crop plants, such information lacks regarding safflower. Thus the present study was aimed at estimating the contribution of photosynthesis of s...

with the introduction of communicative language teaching, a large number of studies have concerned with students’ oral participation in language classrooms. although the importance of classroom participation is evident, some language learners are unwilling to engage in oral activities. this passivity and unwillingness to participate in language classroom discussions is known as “reticence”. rev...

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

abstract ion selective electrodes (ises) are electrochemical sensors that respond selectivity to the activity of ionic species. an ion-selective electrode is an electrochemical device that uses a thin selective membrane or film as the recognition element, and is an electrochemical half-cell equivalent to other half-cells of the zeroth (inert metal in a redox electrolyte). in common methods o...

     Due to evaluation Yield and Its components and determining the most important treats affecting on the Yield, 12 different accessions of sesame were cultivated under both normal irrigation and drought stress by randomized complete block design with three replications at Research Farm of Birjand in 2012-2013 years. The parameters measured included the number of capsules, plant height, number...
