UAE High School Students' Attitude Towards Traditional and Computer-Mediated Peer Response
(2010-08)Using blogs has recently become popular in learning ESL. However, not much research has been done in use of blogs in ESL writing classes. In this research, I conducted a study in my English writing classes to explore how ... -
UAE High School Students' Attitudes Towards Using Authentic Materials
(2006-08)This study is an attempt to investigate the impact of using authentic materials on some of my high school students, especially those who have poor attitudes towards learning the English language. In fact, lack of motivation, ... -
UAE High School Students' Perceptions of Teachers' Feedback on their Writing
(2007-01)For most teachers, marking students' papers and responding to their writing is a daunting and tedious task. It is also a practice that could carry potential dangers and requires careful consideration. However, feedback ... -
Ultrasonically Controlled Albumin-conjugated Liposomes for Breast Cancer Therapy
(Taylor and Francis Online, 2019)Targeted liposomes have high potentials in the specific and effective delivery of their loaded therapeutic agents to the tumor site. Once at the tumor site, it is important that these liposomes are triggered to release ... -
Ultrasound Triggered Release of Estrone- Targeted Liposomes
(2017-05)The fight against cancer has proven to be a lengthy one. Conventional treatment of cancer usually involves chemotherapy, a therapy known for its detrimental side effects. Doxorubicin, a cytotoxic anthracycline antibiotic, ... -
Ultrasound triggered release of Trastuzumab-conjugated immunoliposomes targeting breast cancer
(2018-12)Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in this era. Since conventional treatment has many side effects, its use is limited, which augments the need for new smart drug delivery systems, such as nanocarriers, capable of ... -
Understanding Teachers' and Students' Use and Attitudes of Web 2.0 in ESL Classrooms at the American University of Sharjah
(2010-05)In an age of rapid change and massive dependence on the Internet, students nowadays are exposed to the Internet and its applications in many aspects and means. This exposure has led to students developing an expectation ... -
A Unified Approach for Probability of Detection Evaluation over Generalised Fading Channels
(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2016)In this paper, we revisit energy detection-based spectrum sensing cognitive radio systems operating over generalised fading channels. In particular, we derive closed-form exact expressions as well as lowand high-signal-to-noise ... -
Up-to-date earthquake and focal mechanism solutions datasets for the assessment of seismic hazard in the vicinity of the United Arab Emirates
(Elsevier, 2019)This article presents updated and unified Poissonian earthquake and focal mechanism catalogs for the United Arab Emirates and its surroundings. Data were compiled from different local, regional, and international sources. ... -
Upscaling of an Innovative Cogeneration CSP System
(2013)An upscaling of an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) technology for the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (CSP-DSW) to be integrated into the Cyprus power generation system is carried out. Further, ... -
Urban Resilience and Planning Support Systems: The Need for Sentience
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-03)Developing resilience in built human environments is a complex undertaking. It requires decision support tools that can convey complexities in meaningful and understandable ways. Building smart cities and generating big ... -
The Use of Collocations as a Measure of Translation Quality and Translator Competence
(2006-04)In this thesis, the use of collocations as a measure of translation quality and of the translator's competence is studied. It is believed that collocations' competence contributes greatly to one's language competence and ... -
The Use of Culturally-Familiar Literature in the EFL Classroom
(2013-05)Insights from Cultural Studies and related fields significantly influence the discipline of language learning and teaching recently. Literature shares an intrinsic relationship with language and culture and therefore can ... -
The Use of Cutting-Stone-Slurry-Waste in Engineering Practice
(2010)The paper studies the use of cutting stones-water-slurry-waste in engineering applications. Three types of selected clayey soils with different plasticity index and clay fraction were used. The initial physical properties ... -
Use of desalinated reject water as a source of magnesium for phosphorus recovery
(2013-06)In this study, the formation potential of struvite has been assessed using synthetic centrate mixed with reject water of a local desalination plant. NH4H2PO4, MgCl2 .6H2O,and NH4Cl were mixed in specific concentrations to ... -
Use of Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands as Shear Reinforcement in Concrete Beams
(2017-12)A new method of lateral shear reinforcement is investigated in which a reinforced concrete (RC) beam is transversely reinforced by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands (ISSSBs), instead of conventional stirrups. The steel ... -
The Use of Lime to Stabilize Clay Soil against Internal Erosion
(2018-12)Internal erosion failure of soils in hydraulic structures is one of the most catastrophic failures in civil engineering projects. Therefore, it is vital to stabilize the soil against this phenomenon. Different materials ...
