this study investigated the effects of manipulating the cognitive complexity of tasks along +/- few elements and the time limits on l2 learners writing performance. to conduct the study, 60 iranian efl learners with two levels of proficiency, low and high intermediate, were selected and assigned to three groups based on the time devoted to task completion. the participants performed both a simp...

the present study was an attempt to determine the types of motivation and levels of foreign language learning anxiety among efl students studying at azad and state universities in kermanshah and to determine the relationship between these two factors and language proficiency and gender. to this end, the foreign language learning motivation scale, by deci and ryan )1985(, were administered to 12...

In order to study of quantitative and qualitative yield, chlorophyll content and some growth indices of wheart (Triticum aestivum L.) in response to seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) at different levels of soil salinity, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at Research Greenhouse of Faculty of Agri...

The current experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobactria (PGPR) on chlorophyll fluorescence and some physiological parameters in basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaf under salinity stress. The experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design. Treatments were four levels of salt stress (0, 40, 80 and 120 mM of NaCl) and ...

asymmetric membranes are widely used in many industrial membrane separation processes. the major advantage of membrane filtration over the conventional process is its ability to remove a wider spectrum of particles without using any chemicals. hollow fiber configuration offer many advantages over flat-sheet or tubular membranes. the spinning process of hollow fiber may look simple, yet it is te...

one very decisive factor in students’ academic destiny is the result they get at final term examinations. because of its importance, both students and teachers are curiously anxious about them. as normally it is the case, these final term tests are prepared hurriedly in short time by teachers which result in students’ dissatisfaction, complaining on how the test was different from their expecta...

Selenium (Se) is a beneficial element for plant but at high concentrations, it is toxic and causes in plant growth retardation. There is limited information about the effects of Se on salinity-induced damages on wheat. Therefore this study was carried out to investigate interaction of salinity and Se on root and shoot dry matter yield, activity of GPX, and concentrations and uptake of selected ...
