abstract in aggregate, active forms of reactive silica with mineral names are sometimes associated with sand and gravel in concrete mixture. alkali hydroxides originated from alkalis in the cement or other resources form an alkaline silica gel with this reactive silica which becomes swallowed and expanded during time causing damage to concrete. there have been growing researches on alkaline r...

To evaluate the effect of autumn sowing date on seed yield of sunflower cultivars, a field experiment was carried out as strip plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications in safiabad agricultural and natural resources research and education center of Dezful, Iran during two growing seasons (201718 and 2018-19). Seven sowing dates (6th Sep., 23rd Sep., 7th Oct., ...

building on previous studies on intellectual features and learners’ grammar learning, the present study aimed at investigating whether intelligence criterion had any impact on efl learners’ english grammar learning across two intelligence levels. in the current study, the participants were divided into two experimental and control groups by administration of raven i.q. test. this led to the for...

Growth and grain yield of irrigated barley cultivars (Valfajr, Binam and Raihaneh) was investigated at 4 sowing dates (6, 22 Oct. and 14, 20 Nov.) in Karaj region. The effect of sowing date, genotype and their interaction on grain yield were statistically significant. Early and late sowing enhanced cold damage. However, the damage was more in late sowings. It was estimated that the optimum sowi...

this study investigated how group formation method, namely student-selected vs. teacher-assigned, influences the results of the community model of teaching creative writing; i.e., group dynamics and group outcome (the quality of performance). the study adopted an experimental comparison group and microgenetic research design to observe the change process over a relatively short period of time. ...

To investigate the effects of sowing date on yield and some physiological index of six forage maize cultivars in Rasht region, a field study was conducted in 2010. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with factorial arrangement with three replications. Treatment consisted of four levels of sowing date (22 May, 3, 15 and 25 June), and six maize cultivars (SC 260, DC 370, SC 500...
