Culture in Relay Audio-Visual Translation: A Case of Inevitable Culture Divergence
(2015-12)Given the basic convention that translation is a process of intercultural interaction, it is supposed that relay translation, which is a form of translation, also functions so, but its role in the transfer of culture should ... -
Culture in Simultaneous Interpreting of Political Discourse: Obama's Speech in Cairo
(2010-05)Political speeches, especially at times of international crises, play an important role in aiding or obstructing world peace. This is particularly valid for Western/Arab and Muslim relations. Inappropriate renditions (in ... -
Culture in the EFL Classroom: Western Instructions and Arab Students in the UAE
(2013-12)In the field of EFL teaching, it is common for instructors and students to come from very different cultural backgrounds. Instructors who leave their home countries and go to teach abroad may have trouble adjusting to the ... -
The current state of female leadership in the United Arab Emirates
(Emerald, 2013)Purpose: To research the state of affairs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the presence (or absence) of women in senior business leadership positions, and to investigate where they are located within organizations ... -
Curriculum-guided Crowd Sourcing of Assessments in a Developing Country
(2012-10)Success of Wikipedia has opened a number of possibilities for crowd sourcing learning resources. However, not all crowd sourcing initiatives are successful. For developing countries, adoption factors like lack of infrastructure ... -
A Customer-Centered Smart Charging Strategy Considering Virtual Charging System
(IEEE Acess, 2022)Electric vehicle (EV) charging is considered as one of the main issues that face EV drivers. Thus, there should be a facility to suggest the best charging station based on the customer requirements. However, the routing ... -
Cyber Security of Market-Based Congestion Management Methods in Power Distribution Systems
(IEEE, 2021-03)As the penetration rate of flexible loads and Distributed Energy Resources in the distribution networks increases, congestion management techniques that utilize Demand Side Management (DSM) have been developed. These are ... -
Cyclic Production Scheduling with Remanufacturing
(2015-06)The cyclic production scheduling problem is concerned with the development of a least-cost cyclic production schedule for a set of tasks required to produce a set of products over a given production cycle and according to ... -
Cyclic Sequential Removal of Alizarin Red S Dye and Cr(VI) Ions Using Wool as a Low-Cost Adsorbent
(MDPI, 2020)Alizarin red S (ARS) removal from wastewater using sheep wool as adsorbent was investigated. The influence of contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, initial ARS concentration and temperature was studied. Optimum values were: ... -
Cytosolic Delivery of Doxorubicin from Liposomes to Multidrug-Resistant Cancer Cells via Vaporization of Perfluorocarbon Droplets
(MedCrave, 2017)A common mechanism of multidrug resistance is the upregulation of efflux pumps in the cancer cells that can more rapidly export unwanted materials (e.g. cancer drugs) out of the cell, compared to sensitive cancer cells. ... -
