Prediction of Turbulence Statistics in a Model Dump Combustor Using Artificial Neural Networks
(2011-05)
The flowfield characteristics downstream of an axisymmetric suddenexpansion dump combustor model are important to designers of gas turbines and liquid-fuel ramjets ducted rockets. Many experimental techniques such as Laser ...
Girls of Riyadh: Issues of Translation and Ideology
(2011-06)
Ideology interference is said to be unavoidable in translation, since translation is subjective by definition. However, when the translator's ideology interferes in the translation process to the extent of changing the ...
Addressing Language Errors in L2 Students' Writing: Can Corpora Help?
(2011-06)
Direct corpus consultation by learners has been recognized as a means of helping students speak and write standard English by allowing them to look up real world language usage. However, factors such as students' language ...
Culture in English Language Classrooms: Emirati Students' and UAE Teachers' Perceptions
(2011-05)
Many studies have shown that teaching and learning about culture is beneficial for learning a second language. It helps in building up the four language skill, such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, and cultural ...
Equilibrium and Diffusion in Molecular Sieves
(2011-06)
Two topics in equilibrium and one in diffusion in zeolites are examined. The sorption of CO2 in 5A and 13X zeolites is detailed. Thirteen studies from the literature and one unreported study are examined for saturation ...
Sorbate Density in 13x Zeolite
(2011-06)
The objective of this study on sorbate densities on 13X or NaX zeolite is to deduce a model equation to predict the intrinsic isotherm saturation loadings. The input information for the model equation is the crystallographic ...
Behavior of RC Beams Strengthened with CFRP Laminates Under Fire - A Finite Element Simulation
(2011-03)
For the last two decades, the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) material has been successfully employed in many civil engineering applications. FRP strengthening systems are mainly used to retrofit existing and deficient ...
Optimal Routing Protocol in Multimedia Wireless Sensor Networks
(2011-01)
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have attracted research interest in recent years due to the significance of the field of applications and the advances in sensor technology. In areas where catastrophic events occur such as ...
Exploring the Use of E-Portfolios in Madares Al-Ghad Schools in the United Arab Emirates
(2011-08)
The use of electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) is gaining widespread popularity around the world. Currently e-portfolios are very popular in higher and further education, particularly in North America and Britain. The ...
Characterization and Modeling of Damage in Steel at Different Strain Rates
(2011-01)
The structural behavior of steel, as many structural materials, changes during deformation processes under complex mechanical loadings. The damage process may start at some point in the deformation process in the form of ...
