Prediction of Stability Limits for Binary and Ternary Systems Using the NTRL Liquid Phase Model
(2013-01)
Stability limits (spinodal loci) were determined for 53 binary systems and 26 ternary systems. Rigorous thermodynamic criteria for spinodal limits and criticality conditions in terms of mixture Gibbs free energy were derived ...
Subtitling and Cultural Representation: The Case of Freej
(2011-05)
Translating media plays a role in shaping and affecting the representation of cultures. This thesis looks at the representation of the Emirati culture through analyzing the subtitling of the Emirati dialect in the third ...
