In order to identify the most important traits affecting yield in maize inbred lines and hybrids, an experiment was conducted in Shushtar City in 2009 and 2010 years. Fifteen inbred lines in 2009 and 28 hybrids in 2010 studied in two planting dates, 6 July (to coincide heat stress with pollination time and grain filling) and 27 July (normal condition) using a randomized complete block design wi...

To evaluate the effect of salinity stress and Zinc application on grain filling of three barley cultivars and some physiological traits this this experiment was arranged as a split block in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Esfahan (Rodasht) salinity research station (2013-14). Three water quality treatments including (2, 10 and 18 dS/m) were evaluated in vertica...

abstract the current research tried to examine the impact of multiple intelligence (mi) and its components on multiple choice (mc) and open ended (oe) reading comprehension tests. ninety six students of high school in grade four took part in this study. to collect data, participants completed multiple intelligence (mi) questionnaires along with a multiple choice (mc) and open ended (oe) forms ...

In order to study the effect of sowing date on grain yield and grain-filling duration of triticale cultivars, an experiment was conducted based on strip-plot experiment with four replicates at Ramin Agricultural Research and Educational Center (RAREC) during 2009-10. The sowing date treatments were November, 10th (Aban, 20th) and December, 4th (Azar, 14th) and the cultivars include: ET.79-3،ET....

charles dickens was a voracious reader even in his childhood. his early reading of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century picaresque fiction greatly influenced his writing style. his first novel, the pickwick papers, is a tale of rogues and swindlers, adventures and quests, satire and comedy, and innocence and experience. oliver twist, dickens’ second novel, is a young boy’s progress through a cor...

while performance-based language assessment has led to an increased authenticity and content validity in the practice of writing assessment, the reliability of ratings has become a major issue. research findings have shown different reactions by native english speaker (nes) and non-native english speaker (nns) teachers to students’ writings. the focus of this study is on investigating whether i...

In order to investigate the effects of temperature and radiation on rate and duration of grain filling and final grain weight in rice cultivars, a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at different transplanting times at the research field of University of Guilan, Rasht, Iran in 2013. Factors were: transplanting dates in main plots...

Optimum rice population densities and the response of rice yield and yield components to population densities and planting pattern are important factors helping rice producers and researchers to achieve maximum productivity. For this reason, a randomized complete block design experiment was conducted during the summer of 1995 at Isfahan University of Technology Research Farm located at Lavark, ...
