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 ... -
Spreading of oil on water in the surface-tension regime
(Springer, 2014-12)The third stage of oil spreading on water, in which surface-tension force promotes spreading against the resisting viscous effect, is investigated using a similarity solution in combination with an integral boundary-layer ... -
Stability and bifurcation analysis of a discrete-time predator-prey model with strong Allee effect
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-03-16)In this paper, we investigate the impact of Allee effect on the stability of a discrete-time predator-prey model with a non-monotonic functional response. The proposed model supports the coexistence of two steady states, ... -
Stability and removal of dexamethasone sodium phosphate from wastewater using modified clays.
(2014-08)Stability and removal of dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP) from wastewater produced at Al-Quds University Campus were investigated. Kinetic studies in both pure water and wastewater coming from secondary treatment ... -
Stability and Removal of Naproxen and Its Metabolite by Advanced Membrane Wastewater Treatment Plant and Micelle-Clay Complex
(2014-05)Naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, commonly used for fever, inflammation and for different health problems, as found for many pharmaceuticals has been recently detected in sewage effluents, surface, and ... -
Stabilization of Pluronic P-105 Micelles with an Interpenetrating Network of N,N-Diethylacrylamide
(American Chemical Society, 2000)N,N-Diethylacrylamide (NNDEA) was polymerized in the presence of Pluronic P-105 micelles. The polymerizations resulted in an interpenetrating network of poly(NNDEA) and P-105 that stabilized the micelles at concentrations ... -
Staff Development at the American University of Sharjah Library
(2014-11-23)To fulfill the AUS Library mission, librarians help staff develop the skills necessary to provide exemplary customer service to the AUS academic community. -
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 ... -
State-of-All-the-Art and Prospective Hydrogel-Based Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems
(MDPI, 2024-03-30)Over the past few decades, notable advancements have been made in the field of transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDSs), presenting a promising alternative to conventional oral drug administration. This comprehensive ... -
Static Video Summarization Using Video Coding Features with Frame-level Temporal Sub-Sampling and Deep Learning
(MDPI, 2023)There is an abundance of digital video content due to the cloud’s phenomenal growth and security footage, it is therefore essential to summarize these videos in data centers. This paper offers innovative approaches to the ... -
Statistical analysis of air-gap membrane desalination experimental data: Hypothesis testing
(Elsevier, 2015-04)Membrane distillation (MD) is a process in which the driving force for mass transfer is temperature gradient rather than conventional ones based on density, static pressure, chemical nature, affinity, and freezing point ... -
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 ... -
Statistical Year Book
(Sharjah. Department of Statistics and Community Development, 2012)Contains statistics about: climate, population & vital statistics, agriculture, industry, electricity & water, construction, transportation & communication, education, health, tourism & hotels, culture & information, ... -
Stochastic Geometry-Based Model for Dynamic Allocation of Metering Equipment in Spatio-Temporal Expanding Power Grids
(IEEE, 2019)With smart grids replacing conventional power grids and rapidly expanding in both space and time, ensuring an acceptable system observability becomes a challenge in spatio-temporal expanding power grids. In addition, system ... -
Stop-Go Monetary Policy
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)We propose and estimate several discrete choice models of monetary policy decision-making that feature time-varying inertia. The models permit us to account for three stylized facts characterizing monetary policy making ...
