Thermodynamic Analysis of Integrated Fuel Cell and Solar Energy Systems
(2011-06)
In the last few decades, world has seen an exponential increase in energy demand. This high increase in demand brought with it the issue of global warming. In this research, we will be studying alternative energy sources ...
Design of a Pseudo-Real Time Microwave Imaging System for Cylindrical Dielectric Structures
(2011-05)
In this thesis, the design and implementation of a pseudo-real time Microwave imaging system for cylindrical dielectric structures is investigated. Two different prototypes that have the same frequency of operation (7.5 ...
Plannar Microwave Imaging System
(2011-05)
Microwave signals have shown a tremendous utility in a wide variety of applications. Due to their penetrative nature, one of the most exciting applications of all is utilization of microwave signals to see through dielectric ...
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 ...
Oral ESL Test Anxiety with Emirati Secondary School Students
(2011-06)
In the UAE and globally, high-stakes testing is prevalent in second language learning. One important and integral part of high-stakes English language tests is the oral proficiency interview, which can be a pre-requisite ...
Coherence in the Translation of Al-Ghazali's: Al-Munqidh Min Ad-Dalal
(2011-06)
This thesis discusses translators' sensitivity towards argumentative classical texts. One major assumption this research intends to question is the ongoing debate of "translation as a cohesive string of words" vs. "translation ...
Online Monitoring of Outdoor Non-Ceramic Insulators
(2011-06)
Transmitting power using overhead lines is heavily used by power utilities due to their lower cost compared with underground cables. However, overhead lines have shown great influence on power system due to frequent power ...
A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations
(Elsevier, 2011-11)
In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the ...
Optimizing the use of ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2011)
In this study, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) model that attempts to predict the dynamic release of doxorubicin (Dox) from P105 micelles under different ultrasonic power densities at 20 kHz. The goal is to ...
Baal and Thoth: Unwelcome Apparitions in J. M. Coetzee’s The Master of Petersburg and Disgrace
