Experimental Investigations of Friction Stir Welded Metal-Polymer Hybrid Structure
(2023-04)In the last decade, there has been a surge in interest in hybrid structures, particularly those that combine aluminum or magnesium alloys with polymeric materials. Mechanical fastening, riveting, and bonding are examples ... -
Experimental quantification of punching shear capacity for large-scale GFRP-reinforced flat slabs made of synthetic fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete dataset
(Elsevier, 2021)This article provides experimental data on the punching shear behavior of synthetic fiber-reinforced slabs reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars and cast from self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The ... -
Experimental study of high-performance hybrid NF-MSF desalination pilot test unit driven by renewable energy
(2013-03)This study presents the experimental results of a renewable energy (RE) driven, high-performance multi-stage flash (MSF) desalination unit integrated with nanofiltration (NF) membrane. The desalination pilot test is built ... -
Experimental Study of Punching Shear Resistance of Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete Interior Slabs
(2016-09)This study experimentally explores the suitability of Synthetic Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (SNFRC) as a feasible method for improving the punching shear strength of two-way slabs. The investigation involved interior flat ... -
Explicit Vocabulary Learning Through Technology
(2009-06)Functional language proficiency requires mastery of a large number of words. It is therefore necessary for L2 learners to learn a large vocabulary in a short period of time. In classroom contexts, there appears to be no ... -
Exploring Academic Dishonesty in the Middle East: A Qualitative Analysis of Students' Perceptions
(Taylor & Francis, 2019)Most previous studies of academic dishonesty have been conducted in North America and Europe, and have focused on the contextual, institutional, and individual factors that influence students' propensity to cheat. While ... -
Exploring Attitudes of Teachers and Students to the Integration of Technology in EFL Classrooms
(2013-04)Much available research stresses the role positive teachers' and students' attitudes play in the success of technology integration. A large body of research has been conducted in the region to investigate the attitudes of ... -
Exploring Semi-Supervised Learning Algorithms for Camera Trap Images
(2022-08)Animal Extinction and biodiversity loss is a major challenge faced by ecologists in today’s world due to increasing populations and industrialization. In their fight to protect endangered species, ecologists use remote ... -
Exploring the Use of CLT in Saudi Arabia
(2007-01)Many studies have been conducted to investigate the success of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) adoption in EFL countries. Some of these studies advocate the implementation of CLT teaching, whereas many studies in ... -
Exploring the Use of E-Portfolios in Madares Al-Ghad Schools in the United Arab Emirates
(2011-08)The use of electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) is gaining widespread popularity around the world. Currently e-portfolios are very popular in higher and further education, particularly in North America and Britain. The ... -
Exploring the Usefulness of a Documentary Film Making Project for Saudi Arabian College Students
(2009-08)English language teachers face many difficulties and problems when teaching a second or a foreign language, one of which includes motivating students to speak in oral communication classes. Speaking in English as a foreign ... -
Exploring Washback Effects on IELTS Teachers' Cognition and Teaching Practices
(2016-12)Examining the washback effects of high-stakes tests, such as the IELTS, on teachers' cognition and their teaching practices could provide deeper insight into the process of teaching and learning in test preparation courses. ... -
Extended Behavioral Modeling of FET and Lattice-Mismatched HEMT Devices
(2016-01)This study presents an improved large signal model that can be used for High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and Field Effect Transistors (FETs) using measurement-based behavioral modeling techniques. The steps for ... -
An Extension of Sharkovsy’s Theorem to Periodic Difference Equations
(Elsevier, 2006)We present an extension of Sharkovsky’s Theorem and its converse to periodic difference equations. In addition, we provide a simple method for constructing a p-periodic difference equation having an r-periodic geometric ... -
External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates
(International Workshop on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading (PROTECT 2015), 2015-06)This paper presents an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded flexural carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the soffit of the beam via ... -
The effect of maps permutation on the global attractor of a periodic Beverton-Holt model
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)Consider a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn(xn) with a global attractor. How does a permutation [fσ(p−1), . . . , fσ(1), fσ(0)] of the maps affect the global attractor? In this paper, we limit this general question ... -
