Teacher Talk: Linguistic Characteristics and Adjustments
(2013-05)
This study describes linguistic characteristics of English language (EL) teachers' spoken input to second language learners in classrooms in the UAE, and compares them to the results of researchers who have investigated ...
One Text, Two Receptions: Mahfouz's Children of the Alley
(2013-12)
Received wisdom in translation studies tells us that both source and target texts should enjoy the same reception by the source and target cultures. However, Mahfouz's Children of the Alley has been negatively received in ...
Using a Pattern Recognition-Based Technique to Assess the Condition of Silicone Rubber Outdoor Insulators
(2013-05)
Several transmission and distribution companies worldwide have started to replace their existing outdoor ceramic insulators with silicone rubber insulators. The use of silicone rubber insulators in outdoor insulators was ...
Testing and Assessment of Protocols and Systems Modeled as Extended Finite State Machines
(2013-06)
Developing and selecting an appropriate test suite is an important issue for testing implementations of protocols and other reactive software systems. Many methods are known for the derivation of test suites based on a ...
Technology Management and Analysis of Integrating Fuel Cell Systems in Gas Turbine Power Plants
(2013-04)
In this thesis, comprehensive and detailed energy and economic analyses of integrating different types of fuel cells in gas turbine power plants are performed. The research investigates the performance of a hybrid system ...
Assessment of Disinfection By-Product Formation in Polymeric Pipe Distribution Systems
(2013-06)
In recent years, polymeric materials have become the dominant type of material used for drinking water pipe distribution systems. They have some advantages over other types of pipes such as cast iron, ductile iron, concrete, ...
A Global Attractor in Some Discrete Contest Competition Models with Delay under the Effect of Periodic Stocking
(Hindawi, 2013)
We consider discrete models of the form 𝒳ₙ₊₁= 𝒳ₙ𝒇(𝒳ₙ₋₁) + 𝒉ₙ , where 𝒉ₙ is a nonnegative 𝒑-periodic sequence representing stocking in the population, and investigate their dynamics. Under certain conditions on the ...
Phase transitions of perfluorocarbon nanoemulsion induced with ultrasound: A mathematical model
(Elsevier, 2013)
While ultrasound has been used in many medical and industrial applications, only recently has research been done on phase transformations induced by ultrasound. This paper presents a numerical model and the predicted results ...
The solution of a recursive sequence arising from a combinatorial problem in botanical epidemiology
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
One of the central problems in botanical epidemiology is whether disease spreads within crops in a regular pattern or follows a random process. In this paper, we consider a row of n plants in which m are infected. We then ...
