Basin of Attraction through Invariant Curves and Dominant Functions
(Hindawi, 2015)
We study a second-order difference equation of the form 𝑧ₙ₊₁= 𝑧ₙ𝐹(𝑧ₙ₋₁) + ℎ, where both 𝐹(𝑧) and 𝑧𝐹(𝑧) are decreasing. We consider a set of invariant curves at ℎ = 1 and use it to characterize the behaviour of ...
Translation and the Quest for Meaning: Adūnīs and Yūsuf al-Khāl's Translation of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land
(Arabic Translators International, 2018-04)
This article examines some Arabic translations of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land with special reference to Adunis (͑Ali Ahmad Sa'id) and Yusuf al-Khal's al-Ard al-kharab (1958). Translation requires a close reading of an ...
The relative effects of isolated and combined structures input and structured output on the acquisition of the English causative forms
(De Gruyter, 2017)
The present study explores the effects of structured input and structured output when delivered in isolation or in combination on the acquisition of the English causative. Research investigating the effects of processing ...
Harvesting and stocking in discrete-time contest competition models with open problems and conjectures
(Palestine Polytechnic University, 2016)
In this survey, we present a class of first and second-order difference equations representing general form of discrete models arising from single-species with contest competition. Then, we consider various harvesting/stocking ...
Advances in periodic difference equations with open problems
(Springer, 2014)
In this paper, we review some recent results on the dynamics of semi-dynamical systems generated by the iteration of a periodic sequence of continuous maps. In particular, we state several open problems focused on the ...
A Global Attractor in Some Discrete Contest Competition Models with Delay under the Effect of Periodic Stocking
(Hindawi, 2013)
We consider discrete models of the form 𝒳ₙ₊₁= 𝒳ₙ𝒇(𝒳ₙ₋₁) + 𝒉ₙ , where 𝒉ₙ is a nonnegative 𝒑-periodic sequence representing stocking in the population, and investigate their dynamics. Under certain conditions on the ...
Effect of pH, ultrasound frequency and power density on the release of calcein from stealth liposomes
(De Gruyter, 2016)
The use of liposomes as carriers for chemotherapeutic agents in combination with ultrasound as a stimulus to control the time and space of the drug release is a promising approach for cancer treatment, as it can reduce the ...
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 ...
Verbal negation in the Lebanese dialect of Zeitoun, Keserwan
(Institut de recherches et d’études sur les mondes arabes et musulmans (IREMAM), 2019)
The dialect of Zeitoun village in the northern Keserwan district of Lebanon exhibits both the split-morpheme negators mā…š of the southern and highland Levant and the pre-verbal negator mā without the post-positive -š of ...
