teachers’ beliefs greatly influence their performance in the classroom, their choice of instructional strategies, their way of controlling the class, their dealing with the students, and their general goals and objectives. one of these beliefs is teachers’ sense of efficacy which is viewed as an important construct and has shown to be positively correlated with students’ achievement (ross, 1992...

this thesis attempts to measure learning styles, self efficacy and intrinsic motivation as predictors of iranian ielts reading comprehension. in order to address this issue, a quantitative study was conducted on some randomly selected intact students at ferdowsi university. these two groups were assigned as they were undergraduate (ba=91) and graduate (ma =74) students; they were all aged betwe...

we have two part in this thesis, at first: the interaction of native calf thymus dna (ct-dna) with two anthraquinones including quinizarin (1,4- dihydroxy anthraquinone) and danthron (1,8- dihydroxy anthraquinone) in a mixture of 0.04 m brittone-robinson buffer and 50% of ethanol were studied at physiological ph by uv-vis absorption, florescence, circular dichroism spectroscopic methods, viscos...

In order to evaluate water stress tolerance-related traits and their relationships in barley genotypes, as well as identification of drought tolerant genotypes, a field experiment was carried out during 2012-13 and 2013-14 growing seasons in College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Iran. Seventy four foreign barley genotypes and two Iranian varieties (Reyhan and Nosrat) were evaluated under n...

In order to evaluate the reaction of foreign genotypes and the indigenous cultivars of barley against drought and study their biochemical traits, eight genotypes with two barley cultivars were surveyed in a randomized complete block design with three replications in two states of sufficient irrigation and non-sufficient irrigation regimes (drought) at the Faculty of Agriculture, Shiraz Universi...

Domestication and artificial selection have reduced the level of genetic variation in barley. Inter-specific hybridization is one of the most valuable ways to restore at least part of the lost variation. This study aimed to investigate genetic diversity and screening barley lines which possessed the desired traits, as well as drought tolerance, within two F3 populations derived by crossing a cu...

Most researches on wheat and barley breeding for salt tolerance have focused mainly on excluding Na+ from different tissues but the results of some experiments suggest that contribution of Na+ exclusion to salt tolerance is overshadowed by other physiological responses. Three bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance (Arg, Tajan and Baharan) and one barley cultivar (Nik) were employed t...
