Effects of Operating Conditions on Water Absorption Capacity of Superabsorbent Hydrogels
(2018-04)
Superabsorbent hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers that have an extraordinary ability to absorb and retain water. Therefore, they have been utilized in many applications such as disposal diapers, ...
Flow Simulations of Axisymmetric Prolate Particles in a Cylindrical Pore
(2015-01)
The motion of small particles in a fluid is a classical fluid mechanics problem. The present study investigates the motion of axisymmetric prolate spheroids and Cassini ovals of micro-scale through Newtonian and non-Newtonian ...
Level of Proficiency in Arabic and English, and Identity of Emirati Students in UAE Public Schools
(2012-05)
Recently, a new dimension of learning a second language has gained interest in the literature. The identity of learners has made its way as a concept that has become central in second language acquisition (SLA) and bilingual ...
Jerry Seinfeld: I'm Telling You For The Last Time, Translation and Commentary
(2015-01)
Translation of humor is a field that may not have a fair share of research, especially in the English to Arabic field where the cultural aspect may differ more vividly compared to translating into other languages. This ...
Iterative Methods for the Numerical Solutions of Boundary Value Problems
(2014-06)
The aim of this thesis is twofold. First of all, in Chapters 1 and 2, we review the well-known Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and Variational Iteration Method (VIM) for obtaining exact and numerical solutions for ...
Mesoscale Thermal Conductivity and Resistivity of Polycrystalline Graphite
(2015-07)
With rapid advances in Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and Nanotechnology applications, it has become essential to predict the properties of materials at length scales that are significantly below the macroscale. ...
Impact of Using Indirect Left-turns on Signalized Intersections
(2015-06)
Most developing areas are suffering from traffic congestion problems. The majority of traffic delays in urban areas occur at traffic signals. Over the past few decades, several transportation agencies have been applying ...
Evaluation of the bending properties of profiled skin structure
(2016-01)
This research is focused on developing a representative testing method for structural skin panels. The profiled panels are widely used in many applications used in warehouses and factories. They are mainly used as roof or ...
Thermodynamic Analysis of Integrated Renewable Energy Systems for Sustainable Building Operation
(2015-02)
Increasing demands for energy, depleting hydrocarbon reserves, and accelerated climate change drive the need to look for alternative sources of energy. The residential housing sector is one of the main consumers of electrical ...
