In order to evaluate the response of rice genotypes to salinity stress at germination stage an experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications in Biotechnology La of Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University (SANRU). Sixteen rice genotypes were evaluated at four salinity levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 mM). The results of ...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of nitrogen and irrigation on yield and yield components of safflower. Three nitrogen rates (0, 50 and 100 kg ha-1) under three irrigation levels (100% as control 80% as mild limited irrigation, and 60% of crop water requirement as severe limited irrigation) were investigated using a factorial laid out in a randomized comp...

learning-oriented assessment seeks to emphasise that a fundamental purpose of assessment should be to promote learning. it mirrors formative assessment and assessment for learning processes. it can be defined as actions undertaken by teachers and / or students, which provide feedback for the improvement of teaching and learning. it also contrasts with equally important measurement-focused appro...

this study was conducted to investigate the impact of portfolio assessment as a process-oriented assessment mechanism on iranian efl students’ english writing and its subskills of focus, elaboration, organization, conventions, and vocabulary. out of ninety juniors majoring in english literature and translation at the university of isfahan, sixty one of them who were at the same level of writing...

abstract the present study was conducted in order to investigate the impact of an integrated model of form-focused and task-based instruction on iranian efl learners vocabulary learning and retention.it also aimed to detect efl learners attitude towards the implementation of form-focused task-based vocabulary instruction in the classroom. in order to address the purposes of this study, a sampl...

abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...

In order to study the relationships among traits and grouping genotypes of wheat, 11 promising lines of winter wheat along with Orum, Zareh, Mihan, Zarrin  and peshgam  cultivars were evaluated under two levels of irrigation (complete irrigation and cutting irrigation from flowering to maturity) at Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. The exp...

in this thesis a calibration transfer method is used to achieve bilinearity for augmented first order kinetic data. first, the proposed method is investigated using simulated data and next the concept is applied to experimental data. the experimental data consists of spectroscopic monitoring of the first order degradation reaction of carbaryl. this component is used for control of pests in frui...
