As reflective practice has become an influential factor in teacher professional development, teachers need some techniques to enhance their reflective teaching. In this light, this study was intended to examine: (a) whether self-evaluation techniques could promote English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ reflective teaching, (b) whether EFL teachers who used self-evaluation techniques would ...

The large size of the hyperspectral datasets that are produced with modern mass spectrometric imaging techniques makes it difficult to analyze he results. Unsupervised statistical techniques are needed to extract relevant information from these datasets and reduce the data into a surveyable verview. Multivariate statistics are commonly used for this purpose. Computational power and computer mem...

Background: Fatalism, an obstacle to the adoption of safe behaviors, describes the belief that injuries are unavoidable and occur due to haphazard or fate. The present study examined degree of fatalism related to injuries reporting rate and its dimensions among workers’ Isfahan Steel Company.

Multivariate control chats are generally used in situations where the simultaneous monitoring or control of two or more related quality characteristics is necessary. In most processes in the real world, distribution of the process characteristics are unknown or at least non-normal, so the non-parametric or distribution-free charts are desirable. Most non-parametric statistical process-control t...

The performance of geostatistical and spatial interpolation techniques for estimation of spatial variability of heavy metals and water quality mapping of groundwater resources in Ramiyan district (Golestan province- Iran) were investigated. 24 spring/well water samples were collected and the concentration of heavy metals (Ni, Co, Pb, Cd and Cu) was determined using Differential Pulse Polarograp...
