the main objective in sampling is to select a sample from a population in order to estimate some unknown population parameter, usually a total or a mean of some interesting variable. a simple way to take a sample of size n is to let all the possible samples have the same probability of being selected. this is called simple random sampling and then all units have the same probability of being ch...

the purpose of the present study was to see which one of the two instruction-processing instruction (pi) and meaningful output based instruction (mobi) accompanied with prompt and recast- is more effective on efl learners’ writing accuracy. in order to homogenize the participants in term of language proficiency a preliminary english test (pet) was administrated between 74 intermediate students ...

This research was conducted at Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology to examine the relations among phonologic, morphologic and physiologic traits and their effects on grain yield of 20 oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used in each irrigation treatment (i.e. irrigation after 70±3, and 130±3 mm evaporation from class A ...

Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses in crops that can reduce yield and yield components in terms of time, duration and severity of the stress. Current research was carried out in order to evaluate drought stress tolerance in rice genotypes. Experiment done in two separate schemes using randomized complete blocks design with three replications in Research Field, Faculty ...

in this thesis, we consider a mathematical model of cancer with completely unknown parameters. we study the stability of critical points which are biologically admissible. then we consider a control on the system and introduce situations at which solutions are attracted to critical points and so the cancer disease has auto healing. the lyapunov stability method is used for estimating the un...

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

A two-year study (2005 - 2006) was carried out to explore the effect of deficit irrigation treatments according to evaporation from a class A basin, including ET= 1 (T1), ET = 0.75 (T2), and ET = 0.5 (T3), on yield, yield components and seed yield of three varieties of watermelon (Charleston Gray, Sugar Baby and Crimson Suite) in the Varamin Agricultural Research Center of Iran. A randomized co...
