For collecting the data, a standard questionnaire on universal quality management based on Malcolm Baldrige and a standard organizational culture questionnaire based on the Denison and Spectorizer model were used. To determine the reliability of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient in a preliminary study on a sample of 30, the total quality management questionnaire (α = 0.813) and organizational culture questionnaire (α = 0.882) were obtained. Results: The research data were analyzed based on the hypotheses of the research and analyzed using MANOVA analysis.

  Purpose: Electronic learning is one of the best learning environments in the information era. Despite the dominance of e-learning in educational environments, learner readiness for this new environment has rarely been assessed.  But according to learners including those who may not have experience of online learning; notice of those readiness as the most important elements of the educational system that has central role in this system is necessary in order to implement and successful performance such methods. So present study tries to investigate such necessity and is designed for Studyof Urmia University students’ readiness to participate in Electronic learning system. Methodology: research is Descriptive Survey type. We have selected 327 students from the statistical population in the second half of the academic year of 2010-2011 which were selected by Multi stage cluster sampling and through using Morgan table. Students readiness for e-learning was measured using a standard questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to determine questionnaire reliability. Statistical analysis used in this study is descriptive and inferential (Frequency tables, bar charts, mean and standard deviation, Single-sample chi-square test, Kruskal-Wallis and Mann- Whitney U test) and was performed by spss software. Findings : The results of this survey show that Urmia University students at the average level Prepared to participate in e- learning. Conclusion: The analysis of the research results show that there is a significant difference between preparation of undergraduate and postgraduate students to participate in e-learning. Also, the results show that there is no access to the technology and sufficient motivation in the Urmia University students to participate in e-learning. Finally, suggestions for improving students’ readiness to participate in e-learning are presented.                                              Manuscript profile

  Identifying the critical time and timing of plant irrigation based on a precise and basic plan is the key to water conservation, improvement of irrigation operations and plant tolerance to water shortage in agriculture. In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.
