Muslim Women's Evolving Leadership Roles: A Case Study of Women Leaders in an Immigrant Muslim Community in Post-9/11 America
(Sage, 2017)
Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork in a multi-ethnic immigrant Muslim congregation in a Midwestern city in the United States, this paper scrutinizes the intricate process through which women uses traditional ...
Becomings in J. M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians and José Saramago's Blindness
(The Pennsylvania State University, 2010)
Folding and unfolding in periodic difference equations
(Elseiver, 2014)
Given a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn mod p(xn), where each fj is a continuous interval map, j = 0, 1, . . . , p − 1, we discuss the notion of folding and unfolding related to this type of non-autonomous equations. ...
Baal and Thoth: Unwelcome Apparitions in J. M. Coetzee’s The Master of Petersburg and Disgrace
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2011)
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 ...
Teaching the world to sing - cross-cultural considerations
(New York Singing Teachers' Association, 2019-03)
In 2016, I accepted a position teaching voice at the American University of Sharjah (AUS) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Sharjah is known as the "cultural and educational emirate," while nearby Dubai strives to be known ...
The Dehortative in the Spoken Arabics of the Eastern Mediterranean
(University of Bucharest, 2016)
A few authors mention a hortative mood in Arabic, formed in a variety of manners, usually involving a pre-verbal element and an unmarked imperfective verb, sometimes thought of as the jussive or subjunctive. Not an imperative, ...
Perceiving Emotions, Facilitating Thought, and Promoting Growth: Using Emotional Intelligence as an Effective Teaching Technique in the Freshman Composition Classroom
(Common Ground Publishing, 2016-06)
One of the key issues in teaching writing to students in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is that they come from diverse high school contexts. Some students have never been formally taught in English, and ...
The dynamics of some discrete models with delay under the effect of constant yield harvesting
(Elsevier, 2013)
In this paper, we study the dynamics of population models of the form xn+1 = xnf(xn−1) under the effect of constant yield harvesting. Results concerning stability, boundedness, persistence and oscillations of solutions are ...
The impact of constant effort harvesting on the dynamics of a discrete-time contest competition model
(Wiley, 2017)
In this paper, we study a general discrete–time model representing the dynamics of a contest competition species with constant effort exploitation. In particular, we consider the difference equation xn+1 = xnf(xn−k) − hxn ...
