abstract nowadays, industries cannot play a crucial role in national and international competitions. the tourism industry is no exception. tourism industry development as the most important economic sector and income generation is one of the key challenges of economic development in the world. therefore, countries were successful that take advantage of the capabilities of tourism sector using ...

the purpose of this thesis was to investigate how differently metacognitive, cognitive, and social/affective strategies affect l2 learners’ reading comprehension. to this end, the study employed a quasi-experimental design with a placement test as a proficiency test to find the homogeneity of groups. three classes were randomly selected as the experimental groups (n =90), and each class was tau...

This study aims to simulate runoff and runoff quality of Zarrineh river basin by SWAT model. Calibration and verification were done respectively with monthly runoff statistics in SWAT CUP by SUFI2 method for 1992-2013, for 12 sub basin, 226 HRU and monthly nitrate data for 2006-2009. The highest runoff sensitivity and runoff quality with minimum Pvalue and maximum absolute value Ttest belong to...

flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...

Computer simulation models are increasingly popular for predicting soil loss to quantify the processes of detachment, transport and deposition of eroded soils. To assess the effects of different management on soil erosion, selecting the best models and their validation a positive step is considered. In this research the Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model (RHEM) was evaluated by using soil er...

Introduction: Patterns of spatial and temporal rainfall impact on runoff and outlet hydrograph (Cordery, 1993; James, 1994). Results of different studies have clarified that simulation by using diverse rainfall data could increase the reliance of results. These were much more sensible in which areas encounter with data scarcity (Mello et al., 2008; Bekiaris et al., 2008). Rainfall properties in...
