Palm tree leaves usage for biosorption and recovery of heavy metals from wastewater
(Desalination Publications, 2017-06)Biosorption can be a sustainable water treatment option. However, selection of biosorbent can be challenging and local availability plays an important role. This research investigates the effectiveness of palm tree leaves ... -
Parallel Algorithms for Distinguishing Nondeterministic Finite State Machines
(2015-02)Many methods are used for the development of experiments and conformance tests based on the specification given in the form Finite State Machines (FSMs). In FSM-based testing, we have an FSM or a black-box Implementation ... -
Parallel Implementations for Eliminating Finite State Machine Mutants
(2017-05)In this thesis, the mutants’ elimination problem considered in finite state machine (FSM) based mutation testing, fault diagnosis, and in the assessment of the effectiveness of test suites is targeted. Given a test suite ... -
Parametric analysis for the installation of solar dish technologies in Mediterranean regions
(2010-12)In this work a feasibility study is carried out in order to investigate whether the installation of solar dish technologies for power generation in Mediterranean regions is economically feasible. The study takes into account ... -
Parametric assessment of concentrated photovoltaic parks for the Mediterranean region
(2013)Solar electricity produced by concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) solar cells is an alternative renewable energy technology for sustainably providing the world's future energy requirements. Although the technology is relatively ... -
Parametric Study of a Single Effect Lithium Bromide-Water Absorption Chiller Powered by a Renewable Heat Source

Parental Involvement and Children's Development: Can There Be Positive Side Effects?
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)A growing body of literature indicates that meaningful time spent with parents has a significant influence on early childhood development, a future accumulation of a wide array of cognitive and non-cognitive skills, and ... -
Parental Transfers and Fertility: Does the Recipient's Gender Matter?
(American University of Sharjah, 2017-06-02)This paper examines the role of parental transfers on family size. We introduce a simple theoretical model of fertility decision where preferences towards children may differ between female and male spouses. Parental ... -
Path Independence of Exotic Options and Convergence of Binomial Approximations
(Infopro Digital Risk (IP), 2019)The analysis of the convergence of tree methods for pricing barrier and lookback options has been the subject of numerous publications aiming at describing, quantifying, and improving the slow and oscillatory convergence ... -
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 ... -
Perceptions of Emotional Functionality: Similarities and Differences Among Dignity, Face, and Honor Cultures
(Sage, 2021)Emotions are linked to wide sets of action tendencies, and it can be difficult to predict which specific action tendency will be motivated or indulged in response to individual experiences of emotion. Building on a functional ... -
