Focusing on English as a Foreign Language (EFL), this book provides an overview of manuscripts that offer advice coming from real practice or grounded theory on how to approach EFL teaching in this 'new normal' situation in order to maximize e-learning environments. This book serves as a compendium of theory and concept-based practice articles addressing practical strategies, techniques, approaches, and methods from a theoretical or conceptual perspective. It also includes research-based articles with strong pedagogical implications on digital English language learning and teaching.

This book provides a vivid account of the political valence of weaving queer into native positionality and the struggle for decolonisation in the settler colonial context of Palestine, referred to as decolonial queering. It discusses how processes of gender and sexuality that privilege hetero-colonising authority shaped and continue to define both the Israeli-Zionist conquest of Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation, thus future imaginings of free Palestine. This account emerges directly from the voices and experiences of Palestinian activists and artists; particularly, it draws on fieldwork with Palestine's most established queer grassroots movement, alQaws for Sexual and Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society, and a variety of artistic Palestinian productions (photography, fashion, music, performance, and video art). Offering a comprehensive and in-depth engagement with the situated context, history, and local practices of Palestinian queerness, scholars, students, and activists across (de)colonial, race, and gender/sexuality studies would appreciate its unique insights; its empirical focus also reaches to those academics in the wider fields of Middle Eastern, anthropological, and political studies.

It's time to turn up the colour! In this interactive book colour therapist, Walaa takes you on a journey through the spectrum of colours. helping you to decode your colour personality and enabling you to work with it to create the life you've always wanted. Walaa's unique Color Ways programme will help you ground yourself, find balance, raise your energy levels, quash your inner fears, declutter toxic relationships so that you are re-fuelled and refreshed. You will learn: • What colour personality you are: red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo, magenta or violet and what each colour means and which chakra it is associated with • Why you are attracted to certain colours and how you can use them to create positive change in your life • What colours to wear and to surround yourself with to bring abundance, clarity and healing • How to use the energy of colour to improve how you feel and think • What colour numerology is and how to use it • Easy daily and weekly rituals and techniques for using colour, including visualizations, numerology, meditation, mantras and mudras, and body and home treatments.

The COVID-19 pandemic has catalyzed a new era in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning and teaching by shifting EFL education from the face-to-face learning paradigm to the online and distance learning paradigm. Teachers and students have faced several challenges such as choosing appropriate web tools for presenting content either synchronously or asynchronously, motivating students to participate, and assessing students' learning. Additionally, this shift to emergency remote online learning represents a challenge for students, particularly with managing their own learning. Taking into account that many students attend low-income schools with limited resources that lack reliable access to the internet and computers, this shift has resulted in growing equity gaps. Likewise, transitioning to emergency remote teaching has revealed a lack of digital competency and readiness amongst teachers. English as a Foreign Language in a New-Found Post-Pandemic World presents an overview of various tools, designs, and strategies utilized to provide digital teaching and assessment of the English language, shares research on using digital technologies for supporting English language learning, and identifies promising areas and directions for future innovations, applications, and research in digital English language learning and teaching. Covering critical topics such as digital teacher education, language learning environments, and online instructional tools, this reference work is crucial for administrators, policymakers, teacher educators, special educators, educational technologists, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

The fused multiply add (FMA) operation is very important in many scientific and engineering applications. It is a key feature of the floating-point unit (FPU), which greatly increases the floating-point performance and accuracy.Many approaches are developed on floating-point fused multiply add unit to decrease its latency.two of these approaches are implemented in the Verilog hardware description language. ModelSim10.0c is a used to compile Verilog codes and to simulate them.

Measuring the mechanical properties of human soft tissue is a current topic in the field of diagnostic ultrasound research. Long before ultrasound was used in medical diagnosis, palpation was the important clinical examination method, and was practiced by the ancient Egyptians about 5000 years ago. Palpation is still one of the standard examination methods performed in the modern diagnosis for the detection of inter alia breast and prostate abnormalities, because the change of the pathological state of tissue is often correlated with changes in stiffness; in particular some malignant tumors are significantly stiffer and less mobile than surrounding healthy tissue. However, the use of conventional imaging techniques such as, computer tomography, magnet resonance tomography and ultrasound, for the medical diagnosis is not directly able to measure the mechanical properties of tissue. In this work, a new imaging modality was developed which can be additionally used for the careful assessment of tumors in different soft tissues. This novel modality was named reconstructive ultrasound elastography, which is regarded as an objective imaging method not limited to small deformations and complements the manual palpation procedure for medical diagnostics. In order to obtain noninvasively quantitative mechanical properties of tissue, we proposed a new algorithm by which the spatial distribution of the relative shear modulus of tissue can be estimated from the measured deformation. From the measured displacement field the relative shear modulus distribution in the examined object can be determined in the sense of an ill-posed inverse problem. Due to the existing large deformations an algorithm wasdeveloped for the solution of the inverse problem on the basis of the nonlinear elasticity theory. The efficiency of the developed algorithm was shown using samples of poly vinyl alcohol phantoms, as well as in vivo data computed from prostate-cancer cases and compared to the histology data.
