Exploring Attitudes of Teachers and Students to the Integration of Technology in EFL Classrooms
(2013-04)Much available research stresses the role positive teachers' and students' attitudes play in the success of technology integration. A large body of research has been conducted in the region to investigate the attitudes of ... -
Exploring Semi-Supervised Learning Algorithms for Camera Trap Images
(2022-08)Animal Extinction and biodiversity loss is a major challenge faced by ecologists in today’s world due to increasing populations and industrialization. In their fight to protect endangered species, ecologists use remote ... -
Exploring the Use of CLT in Saudi Arabia
(2007-01)Many studies have been conducted to investigate the success of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) adoption in EFL countries. Some of these studies advocate the implementation of CLT teaching, whereas many studies in ... -
Exploring the Use of E-Portfolios in Madares Al-Ghad Schools in the United Arab Emirates
(2011-08)The use of electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) is gaining widespread popularity around the world. Currently e-portfolios are very popular in higher and further education, particularly in North America and Britain. The ... -
Exploring the Usefulness of a Documentary Film Making Project for Saudi Arabian College Students
(2009-08)English language teachers face many difficulties and problems when teaching a second or a foreign language, one of which includes motivating students to speak in oral communication classes. Speaking in English as a foreign ... -
Exploring Washback Effects on IELTS Teachers' Cognition and Teaching Practices
(2016-12)Examining the washback effects of high-stakes tests, such as the IELTS, on teachers' cognition and their teaching practices could provide deeper insight into the process of teaching and learning in test preparation courses. ... -
Extended Behavioral Modeling of FET and Lattice-Mismatched HEMT Devices
(2016-01)This study presents an improved large signal model that can be used for High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and Field Effect Transistors (FETs) using measurement-based behavioral modeling techniques. The steps for ... -
An Extension of Sharkovsy’s Theorem to Periodic Difference Equations
(Elsevier, 2006)We present an extension of Sharkovsky’s Theorem and its converse to periodic difference equations. In addition, we provide a simple method for constructing a p-periodic difference equation having an r-periodic geometric ... -
External strengthening of shear deficient reinforced concrete beams with flexural CFRP laminates
(International Workshop on Performance, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading (PROTECT 2015), 2015-06)This paper presents an experimental investigation of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened in shear with externally bonded flexural carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets attached to the soffit of the beam via ... -
The effect of maps permutation on the global attractor of a periodic Beverton-Holt model
(Elsevier, 2020-04-01)Consider a p-periodic difference equation xn+1 = fn(xn) with a global attractor. How does a permutation [fσ(p−1), . . . , fσ(1), fσ(0)] of the maps affect the global attractor? In this paper, we limit this general question ... -
Fabrication of SiC/Magnesium Alloy Composite via Friction Stir Processing
(2016-01)One of the most interesting improvements in the history of materials is composites manufacturing. Because of their ability to improve different mechanical properties of some metals, nanoparticles have been given much ... -
Face Flow: Constrained Optical Flow Framework for Faces
(2020-05)In computer vision, models and methods for facial expression recognition are continually in development. Several models aim to describe the highly complex structure of different faces, which in turn allows researchers to ... -
Face Recognition in Uncontrolled Indoor Environment
(2013-06)Face recognition (FR) is one of the most convenient biometric systems even though it is not currently the most reliable one. Especially when images for (FR) system are captured by surveillance cameras, such cameras often ... -
Facile Ultrasound-Triggered Release of Calcein and Doxorubicin from Iron-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising new nanocarriers with potential use in anticancer drug delivery. However, there is a scarcity of studies on the uptake and release of guest molecules associated with MOF ... -
Factors affecting acoustically triggered release of drugs from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2000)A custom ultrasonic exposure chamber with real-time fluorescence detection was used to measure acoustically-triggered drug release from Pluronic P-105 micelles under continuous wave (CW) or pulsed ultrasound in the frequency ... -
Factors affecting sedimentational separation of bacteria from blood
(American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), 2019)Rapid diagnosis of blood infections requires fast and efficient separation of bacteria from blood. We have developed spinning hollow disks that separate bacteria from blood cells via the differences in sedimentation ... -
Factors Affecting the Acoustic In Vitro Release of Calcein from PEGylated Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2019)Typical methods used in cancer treatment, including chemotherapy, are debilitating because of the various adverse side effects experienced by cancer patients. The free drug injected into the patient at given doses affects ... -
Faculty use of the course management system (CMS) iLearn at the American University of Sharjah
(Zayed University Press, 2013)That course management systems (CMS) are relevant to higher education is beyond question. Tertiary institutions invest significant resources in developing CMS and promoting their use by faculty members. Considerable research ... -
