To investigate the seroprevalence of, and risk factors for, caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) infection in different breeds of goats in Jordan, sera from 1100 goats from three different geographical regions in Jordan were analyzed. Prevalence of antibodies to CAEV was determined using a competitive ELISA test. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information on herd hea...

Mobile government (M-government) is a new delivery channel for governments to provide timely information and services ubiquitously to residents, businesses and other government departments through mobile devices. Developing countries have a higher mobile penetration rate than the fixed line internet rates which opens doors of opportunities for these countries to bridge the digital gab and gain ...

The bio-solubilization of Jordan phosphorite by the phosphate-solubilizing fungus Aspergillus niger has been investigated. The effect of the phosphate concentration in the liquid medium, the duration of biodecomposition, titratable acidity and the effect of preliminary mechanical activation on the process of dissolution have been studied. The investigations indicate that almost complete extract...

In this note I discuss some aspects of a formulation of quantum mechanics based entirely on the Jordan algebra of observables. After reviewing some facts of the formulation in the C∗-approach I present a Jordan-algebraic Hilbert space construction (inspired by the usual GNS-construction), thereby obtaining a real Hilbert space and a (Jordan-) representation of the algebra of observables on this...

Usingmicro-level public opinion data from the Pew Global Attitudes Project 2005, this study investigates the effect of educational attainment and income on support for democracy in five predominantly Muslim countries: Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan, and Turkey. Holding all else constant and compared to not finishing primary education, this study finds that secondary education andhigher ed...

Generalizing the P-property of a matrix, Gowda et al. [Gowda, M. S., R. Sznajder, J. Tao. 2004. Some P-properties for linear transformations on Euclidean Jordan algebras. Linear Algebra Appl. 393 203–232] recently introduced and studied Pand globally uniquely solvable (GUS)-properties for linear transformations defined on Euclidean Jordan algebras. In this paper, we study the invariance of thes...

Little is known about the epidemiology of Cryptosporidium in Jordan and no genotyping studies have been conducted on Cryptosporidium isolates from humans or animals from Jordan. Genotyping of 44 Cryptosporidium isolates from Jordanian children at the 18S rRNA locus and a unique diagnostic locus identified four Cryptosporidium species; C. parvum (22), C. hominis (20), C. meleagridis (1) and C. c...

In the paper “Is there a Jordan geometry underlying quantum physics?” [Be08], generalized projective geometries have been proposed as a framework for a geometric formulation of Quantum Theory. In the present note, we refine this proposition by discussing further structural features of Quantum Theory: the link with associative involutive algebras A and with Jordan-Lie and Lie-Jordan algebas. The...

Increasing population levels and demand for water have led to a global water shortage, with more than one billion people unable to access safe drinking water. The Middle East is particularly vulnerable to water stress because of its dense population, variable climate and vulnerable groundwater resources. In Jordan, for example, if current trends in population continue, the water per capita will...
