B − L violating interactions in supersymmetric SO(10) models
(IOP Science, 2019)
An analysis is given of B − L violating interactions in SO(10) arising from the integration of $10+\bar{10}$ of SU(5) of heavy Higgs. The analysis is done within the well defined missing partner model where the doublet-triplet ...
Can High-Order Convergence of European Option Prices be Achieved with Common CRR-Type Binomial Trees?
(Springer, 2015)
Considering European call options, we prove that CRR-type binomial trees systematically underprice the value of these options, when the spot price is not near the money. However, we show that, with a volatility premium to ...
Can the Full Spectrum Fitting Technique correctly detect Age Spreads in Young Star Clusters?
(IOP Science, 2019)
Integrated spectra of star clusters have proven to be accurate tools for obtaining age, metallicity and reddening of extragalactic clusters for which resolved data is not available. In this work we investigate the possibility ...
Through These Veins: Translation and Commentary
(2017-01)
This thesis investigates translation problems and strategies by carrying out an Arabic translation of a literary text taken from the novel Through These Veins, by Ann Marie Ruff, and by discussing the challenges and the ...
Translating the Discourse of Alienation: Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four and Haqqi's Saint's Lamp as Case Studies
(2012-12)
"A basic property of language is that it enables its users to formulate a mental picture of reality and to make sense of and express what goes around and inside them" (Hatim, 1997, p. 179). This research is aimed at ...
Total Damages Quantification Method for Float Allocation
(2016-07)
Construction projects involve several contracting parties such as clients, contractors, consultants and many others. These contracting parties tend to use the float of noncritical activities for their own benefits, such ...
Sustainability of Composite Columns under Repeated Load and Harsh Environment
(2013-01)
Strengthening and rehabilitation are important operations for structural building to ensure sustainability. Enhancing the performance for the structural elements against the various loads and extreme conditions is the key ...
DNA Base-Calling
(2010-05)
The human genome sequence, consisting of approximately three billion bases, was decoded in the last decade as a result of the Human Genome Project. Information derived from the genomic sequences of different species is ...
Nonlinear Analysis of Electrically-coupled Microbeams under Mechanical Shock
(2018-04)
This work presents a theoretical investigation of the dynamic response of electrically-coupled microcantilever beams under the combined effect of squeeze-film damping and mechanical shock for MEMS applications. Several ...
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 ...
