like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Land use change prediction is an important factor in appropriate planning and integrated ecological management of watersheds. There are various methods for modeling and prediction of land use, i.e. Markov chain and CA Markov. In this research, for predicting the land use of Gareen watershed in Iran in 2042, Landsat satellite images of 1986, 2000 and 2014, and the Markov chain and CA Markov was ...

Introduction Land-use planning has three subcategories: allocation, politics and economics. In general, allocation is the interaction between land proportion (supply) and the area required (demand), in current condition of the region. On the other hand, politics is the spatial planning. The economic aspect of land use is dedicated to the fact that in the system of supply and demand in order ...

Today, with the development   of paradigms such as the compact city, smart growth and new urbanism, mixed land use-as one of principles of this paradigm- has been expanded  in  urban planning of  developing countries and  various researchers tried to develop literature and assessment methods of land use based on the concept of mixture of  land use. The conc...

this study aimed to investigate the effects of listening strategy training on iranian efl learners listening comprehension and use of such strategies. this work, employing an experimental methodology, was conducted among 60 adult efl learners from a language institute in isfahan, iran, as participants. the participants, who were selected based on the results of a placement test, were assigned t...

Land use change is an essential determinant factor in hydrological processes and it affects many of them. Simulation of land use changes, rise in residential and agricultural area and its effects are among the most important issues related to the watershed management. The objective of this research is land use change detection in the past and simulation of future land use using CLUE-s Model. At...
