This book is a comprehensive presentation of embedded Java
security. It is compared with the security model of the Java 2
Standard Edition in order to view the impact of limited resources
on security. No other book specifically addresses the topic of
embedded Java security. Furthermore, the book provides hints and
suggestions as ways for hardening security, and offers researchers
and practitioners alike a broader and deeper understanding of the
issues involved in embedded Java security, and as a larger view -
mobile devices security. The author is a well-known authority and
expert in mobile computing and embedded devices.
Environmental pollution is a major problem in developing countries
like Egypt. Reuse of waste polymers is considered an attractive
solution for environmental white pollution and reducing of the
costs of road pavement and maintenance. This work show that how to
prepare environmentally friendly hot mix asphalt (HMA) for paving.
The prepared mixes consisted of high absorptive aggregate (not used
in road paving), marble powder (discarded from workshops and
factories) and waste polymers (as asphalt modifiers). To achieve
this aim, asphalt cement of penetration grade 60/70 was modified
with a percentage ranging from 5 to 15% by weight of spent toner
(discarded from photo copier machines), waste polypropylene
(discarded from carpet industry) and polyester (discarded from
printing and packing industries) separately. The prepared HMA had
moderate characteristics compared to ordinary one. Also, high
absorptive aggregate and waste products of industry could be used
in road construction with net result of decreasing maintenance
cost, preservation the premium aggregate for longest period of time
and decrease the space needed for land filling of non degradable
waste materials.
Mohammed began in the School of Architecture program at King
Abdul-Aziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where he graduated
with his Bachelor degree of Architecture in summer of 2007. He is
currently pursuing a MRED + U (Master of Real Estate Development
and Urbanism), at the University of Miami. He will be graduating in
May 2013. He also currently works a part-time job in the linguistic
department teaching Arabic. Mohammed, who is a LEED Green
Associate, has an aptitude for planning and design and has spent
several years studying and practicing. He worked for three years,
since he graduated, with JDURC (Jeddah Development and Urban
Regeneration Company) as a Developer Engineer for Al-Ruwais project
and appraised more than 7,000 properties in Qasr Khozam project.
Throughout his career, Mohammed has developed vast personal
leadership experience and a strong work ethic.
You design your test, I design my test and every teacher else
designs his/her own test in the way he/she likes it ignoring the
fact that our tests should be based on certain characteristics.
This argument; however, is presented through six chapters. The
first chapter introduces language testing in addition to basic
concepts. The second chapter presents argumentatively four
approaches to language testing (translation approach,
psychometric-structuralists approach, integrative approach and
communicative approach). The third chapter is guidelines for
designing language tests. Both the fourth and fifth chapters are
detailed explanation for designing tests to language components
(sound system, grammatical structures, and vocabulary) and language
skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) with provided
sample tests for each component and skill (appendix). The sixth
chapter is a brief account of general proficiency tests and other
ways of language evaluation. The book is best used as an
introductory course for undergraduates and/or graduates in the
field of language testing and/or evaluation.
Like other fields which have been influenced by technology
advancement, the field of language has also made use of such an
advancement. The author presents in six chapters the different
types of aids which can be used for both teaching and learning
language components, language skills and yet culture in relation to
language. Moreover, the author accounted for the computer assisted
language learning (CALL) and integration between language learning
theories and the use of aids for teaching and learning language
components and language skills. The book is a textbook that is
mainly introduced to both language learners (especially English)
and language teachers (especially English again) for it contains
exercises, assignments, critical thinking activities, and yet
final-term tests. The book is highly recommended as an introductory
course of language and technology for undergraduates or maybe to
graduates as well.
In contrastive analysis CA, it is assumed that the more similar two
languages are, the easier they are; the more different they are,
the more difficult they are to learn. On the other hand, in error
analysis EA, linguistic errors and/or mistakes made by either L1 or
L2 learners have to be discussed broadly and not only in terms of
similar and dissimilar linguistic items. In this book, the author
presents such argument where in CA is accounted for from both
Lado's and Carl James' perspectives, and then detailed explanation
of comparing language's components (sound system, grammatical
structures, and lexical system) is presented with illustrations
from both Standard Arabic and Standard English Languages. Have done
so, then EA is accounted for and presented in terms of five phases:
data-collection, errors identification, errors classification,
errors explanation, and errors evaluation. The last section is a
sample study showing the application of Lado's CA hypothesis. The
book is presented in a very simple way for both researchers who
want to know the steps for conducting a research in either CA or
EA, and for readers who want to introduce themselves to CA and EA.
What is amazing among all the growing aspects in a child is
language development. None can ignore the fact that, a mother,
father other family members or even relatives wait longingly and
impatiently for the first moments a child starts producing sounds,
words, and even reacting and responding to certain actions and
behaviours consciously. Therefore, when it happens that a child (A)
is unlike child (B) in terms of linguistic abilities, it is a sign
that such a child is abnormal and the sad story will start. That
is, individuals who have poor communication skills are clinically
diagnosed with pragmatic language impairment due to different types
of developmental dysphasia. For that matter, this book presents
these two issues where the two topics are synthetically introduced,
and assessment tools in the Arabic Language of individuals with PLI
and DD, namely the Test of Pragmatic Language TOPL-2, and two
subtests from the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals
CELF-4 are also presented in three studies: two quasi-experimental
and a multiple case-study. Hence, the book is directed to speech
and language pathologists along with researchers in clinical,
psycho-neuro-bio-linguistics.
Project Report from the year 2002 in the subject Agrarian Studies,
grade: -, National Research Center - Agricultral and Biological
Research Devision (-), language: English, abstract: High planting
density is considered one of the modern management systems in new
fruit orchards. Pruning and population adjustment are some of the
main way to approach high productivity and good fruit quality under
the modern management systems. Pruning is defined as the management
of plant structure and fruiting wood and it is considered one of
the main factors affecting fruit trees production. There are many
objectives for pruning i.e. controlling the direction of growth,
developing a strong framework, controlling the amount of growth,
improved productiveness, improving quality product, utilizing space
efficiently and increasing the usefulness of plant. There are three
main systems of fruit trees training (i) Central leader system,
(ii) Modified leader system, (iii) Open center or vase system. Also
there are several kinds of pruning i.e. heading back and thinning
out, fine and coarse pruning and root pruning. However, it is
important to select the suitable training system and kind of
pruning according to the target of the pruning to reach optimum
vegetative growth and maximum yield with high fruit quality. On the
other hand, population adjustment (plant distribution or planting
density) is very important factor affecting fruit trees production.
We can reach the optimum usefulness of the planted area by using
best population adjustment of trees in the plantation. Trees can be
planted using different systems: - triangle, rectangle, square
system.....etc. On the other side, presence of pollinator trees
through the orchard is very important for many fruit trees.
Pollinator can be planted either in (1) Complete along rows, as one
row of pollinator per two or four rows of the main cultivar. (2)
The second tree in the second row. (3) The third tree in the third
row. (4) Across rows thr
