Spelling Errors of Arab Students: Types, Causes and Teachers' Responses
(2011-06)It has been noted that many learners of English, including Arab learners in UAE public schools exhibit difficulties with English spelling. These difficulties have been attributed to a number of causes, such as the irregularity ... -
Spent Caustic Treatment Using Advanced Oxidation Processes
(2012-05)Mixed refinery spent caustic is an industrial wastewater that is generated from oil refineries. Spent caustic undergo two treatment steps, chemical oxidation followed by biological post treatment step. The goal of chemical ... -
Stage-discharge relationship in two-stage channels
(2019-07)Predicting the stage-discharge relationship in a flood event is an important concern. Once the flow exceeds the bank level in a two-stage channel, there is a momentum transfer that occurs at the interface between the main ... -
Statistical Modelling and Correlation of Membrane Distillation Data
(2014-07)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is a temperature gradient rather than conventional gradients based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, or freezing ... -
