Translation Methods in Practice: Text Function and the Degrees of Freedom in Translation
(2015-02)
Books include key features that are based on genre. Genre is the scope which holds the function of the text. In other words, genre is the main determiner which decides the purposes of the book whether it is a scientific ...
Gender and Hedging: Translatability of Difference in Agatha Christie's Third Girl
(2015-02)
As a linguistic tool, hedging has been examined by logicians and scholars to explore the vagueness and imprecision it creates in discourse. Generally, men are said to be more accurate, precise, assertive and confident in ...
Control of Flow Past an Airfoil Section Using Rotating Cylinders
(2015-02)
The flow past a NACA 0024 airfoil with a leading edge rotating cylinder is simulated numerically using the ANSYS CFX software. To delay the boundary layer separation from the airfoil surface, different configurations for ...
Adsorption study of desulfurization of diesel oil using activated charcoal
(2015-05)
This research investigates the use of adsorptive desulfurization for diesel oil using carbon-based adsorbents, and it evaluates the effect of the adsorptive desulfurization on the ignition quality of diesel fuel. Two of ...
Retrofitting of Composite Steel Beams Pre-Damaged in Flexure using Fiber Reinforced Polymers
(2015-05)
The demand for the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sheets and plates is exponentially increasing in the rehabilitation of deteriorating steel-concrete composite beams across the Globe. The aim of ...
Integration of Textural and Material Information into BIM Using Spectrometry and Infrared Sensing
(2015-05)
As-built data and drawings are essential documents that contain object dimensions, locations, materials, and other important information used by different parties during the processes of the building design, construction, ...
Implicit Vocabulary Acquisition in Project-Based Learning with iPad Technology
(2015-06)
This study aims to investigate the pedagogical impact of extensive reading and listening in project-based learning on the implicit acquisition of vocabulary. The study involved twenty-seven female ESL student participants ...
Textual Equivalence through Pragmatics and the Semiotics of Culture
(2015-05)
The science of translation is all about how to transfer the meaning from one language to the target language. This thesis discusses different approaches by some linguists on achieving textual equivalence through interpreting ...
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 ...
Modeling of Chlorophyll-a and Eutrophication Indicators in the Dubai Creek Area using Remote Sensing
(2015-01)
The last few decades have witnessed an increase in the frequency and magnitude of the occurrences of algal blooms in coastal regions. A high increase in the levels of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in the water column ...
