nowadays enhancing critical thinking in learners is considered one of the foreign language teachers’ tasks due to its high position in foreign language classrooms. when it comes to selecting materials for language classrooms, there are obviously some criteria that teachers should apply. the present study aimed at a critical thinking based analysis of ten picture story books and ten folktales th...

Infiltration is the process of water penetration from the ground surface into the soil and is an important process in the hydrological cycle by which surface runoff and groundwater recharge can be linked. Over the years, the importance of the infiltration process resulted in the development of several simplified analytical models for predicting infiltration. These infiltration models range from...

a semi-empirical mathematical model for predicting physical part of ignition delay period in the combustion of direct - injection diesel engines with swirl is developed . this model based on a single droplet evaporation model . the governing equations , namely , equations of droplet motion , heat and mass transfer were solved simultaneously using a rung-kutta step by step unmerical method . the...

this thesis basically deals with the well-known notion of the bear-invariant of groups, which is the generalization of the schur multiplier of groups. in chapter two, section 2.1, we present an explicit formula for the bear-invariant of a direct product of cyclic groups with respect to nc, c>1. also in section 2.2, we caculate the baer-invatiant of a nilpotent product of cyclic groups wuth resp...

In this article, the accuracy of empirical and numerical methods in prediction of wind wave characteristics in AmirAbad and Bushehr Ports have been studied, evaluated and compared. First, the wave characteristics have been calculated using Babolsar and Bushehr synoptic stations and employing empirical methods including SMB, SPM and CEM. Moreover the errors of empirical methods have been determi...

the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...

the present research has been deducted from a provincial research project which aims at determining the relationship of variables of variables of occupational self-concept, intelligence beliefs and metacognitive with entrepreneurship among the students of payame noor university of kurdistan. the volume of the samples was 1080 students (576 female and 504 male students). the research methodology...

abstract this thesis includes five chapter : the first chapter assign to establish fuzzy mathematics requirement and introduction of liner programming in thesis. the second chapter we introduce a multilevel linear programming problems. the third chapter we proposed interactive fuzzy programming which consists of two phases , the study termination conditions of algorithm we show a satisfac...
