plagiarism in esl/efl learning contexts has been established as a dynamic and multi-layered phenomenon and has become a topic engaging many researchers in a heated debate in recent years. comparisons of student-generated texts with their source texts have shown that students rely on source texts in their writings and copying is a major strategy used by both l1 and l2 writers. in our country a...

The main purpose of this research was to identify barley promising lines with high grain yield and yield stability for warm region of Iran. In this experiment, 17 barley promising lines and two check cultivars were evaluated in five agricultural research stations; Ahvaz, Darab, Zabol, Gonbad and Moghan, Iran, in 2015-16 and 2016-17 cropping seasons, using randomized complete block design with t...

The genotype × environment interaction is a major challenge in the study of quantitative characters because it reduces yield stability in different environments and also it complicates the interpretation of genetic experiments and makes predictions difficult. In this regard to analysis of genotype × environment interaction and determine the yield stability of winter rapeseed genotypes in cold a...

In order to determine grain yield stability and yield components in durum wheat, 49 genotypes from International Durum Yield Nursery (IDYN), received from International Research Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement (CIMMYT) with one cultivar as check, were studied in an alpha lattice design with two replications at five locations including Karaj, Darab, Neishabour, Khorramabd and Gonbad. Grai...

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...

fuzzy logic has been developed over the past three decades into a widely applied techinque in classification and control engineering. today fuzzy logic control is one of the most important applications of fuzzy set theory and specially fuzzy logic. there are two general approachs for using of fuzzy control, software and hardware. integrated circuits as a solution for hardware realization are us...

most specialists in the field of foreign language teachingconsiderreading skill as an interactive process between the reader’s prior knowledge and the text.accordingly, the activation of prior knowledge for an effective comprehension is very important. it is generally agreed that the pre-reading phase is the stage where this type of interaction and activation may be enhanced throughcertain stra...
