abstract objectives gradual increase length and complexity of utterance (gilcu) therapy method is a form of operant conditioning. this type of treatment is very precise and controlled that is done in 54 steps in 3 speech situations consisted of monologue, reading and conversation. this study aimed to examine the effects of gilcu treatment method on reduction of speech dysfluency of school-age...

Determining the actual evapotranspiration value and analyzing its temporal trend is essential for optimal water resources management in a basin. In the present paper, the actual evapotranspiration time series is simulated and its trend is analyzed according to the trend of climatic variables and land use in the Ajichi basin during the period of 2015-1987. The comprehensive SWAT model was set up...

writing as a productive skill requires practice in the basic sub-skills of vocabulary and grammar. in fact, grammar has been viewed as the core of programs in writing classes to help the students put the elements of sentence together and combine sentences of specific lengths to come up with an error-free work of art. conceptualizing l2 writing in this way introduces writing as a product and enc...

مراتع حدود نیمی از خشکی های جهان را در بر دارند و پوشش گیاهی آن در نتیجه تأثیر متقابل محیط و موجودات زنده به وجود آمده است و به عنوان یک اکوسیستم طبیعی مدیریت می شوند. علاوه بر مراتع، راه ها در عصر حاضر نیز از اجزا مهم و زیرساخت های اصلی زندگی نوین و توسعه کشورها به شمار می روند. جاده ها ساخته دست بشر هستند و جوامع گیاهی کنار جاده تحت تأثیر ساخت و ساز قرار دارند. پوشش "رودرال" به مجموعه ای از پ...

Climatic change can impose physiological constraints on species and can therefore affect species distribution. Bioclimatic predictors, including annual trends, regimes, thresholds and bio-limiting factors are the most important independent variables in species distribution models. Water and temperature are the most limiting factors in arid ecosystem in central Iran. Therefore, mapping of climat...

Data for this study were collected via questionnaire and interview with families of patients and checking their medical folders. This study was based on cost-benefit analysis technique and the dependant variables included cost, benefit (the economic consequences of increasing working hours for patients and decreasing patient and family-centered care), outpatient visits and hospitalization days....

any change in the refractive index of a laser active medium can lead to serious degradation of beam quality, laser beam modes, laser performance and variation in the intensity distribution. alteration in the refractive index of laser active medium is especially notable in high power lasers. it is clear that in the laser beam production, the pumping agent induces a great amount of heat which...
