Salinity and nutrient deficiency particularly nitrogen are two important limiting factors for yield production in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective of this study was to model basil response to combined salinity and nitrogen deficiency. To that end, modified Leibig-Sprengel (LS) and modified Mitcherlich-Baule (MB) and also some newly derived models based on combination of MB with salinit...

Isotherm curves are useful for the designing of dryer as well as controling of the seed moisture content during storage and drying process. To study the curves, this research was performed on the basis of two factorial experiments including three factors: (1) hybrid at two levels (Three Way Cross 647 and Single Cross 704) (2) temperature at 6 levels (from 5 to 55°C) and (3) Relative Humidity (R...

there is less published research about how teachers in efl contexts respond to students who are relatively less mature and less competent l2 writers. while writing researchers have examined various issues concerning peer and teacher response in writing-oriented classes, little research has centered on the effect of collaborative tasks particularly dictogloss on writing skills. output collaborat...
