In the last ten years, the Internet has become an important component of the global economy and security has emerged as a important part of the Information Technology professions. It is clear that universities and colleges must start preparing professionals ready to take on these challenges in the workplace. NSA is actively encouraging universities and colleges to start new courses and programs...

This study investigates the impact of study-abroad experience (SAE) on lexical translation among 50 Chinese (L1)-English (L2) interpreting students. Participants were divided into two groups based their abroad. Both consisted 25 unbalanced L2 learners who matched in age, working memory, length training, and proficiency. Bidirectional word recognition tasks, from L1 to L1, highlighted several ke...

Abstract A series of aryl sulfonic acids were tested as catalysts for acid hydrolysis occurring at the surface poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) particles. Specifically, p‐toluenesulfonic monohydrate (PTSA), 2‐naphthalenesulfonic (2‐NSA), and 1,5‐naphthalenedisulfonic tetrahydrate (1,5‐NDSA) chosen to provide active groups varying hydrophobic functionality. The effect catalyst concentration re...

Neighborhood sustainability assessment systems support the planning of sustainable and resilient cities. This research analyses, compares, evaluates three neighborhood (NSA) (i) German Sustainable Building Council for Urban Districts (DGNB–UD), (ii) USA Leadership in energy environmental design Development (LEED–ND), (iii) Indian Green Rating Integrated Habitat Assessment Large Developments (GR...

This study examined the effects of age on the behavior of mice administered one of two benzodiazepines with and without nitrous oxide. Young (3 wk +/- 3 days) and adolescent (7 wk +/- 3 days) male DBA-2 mice were administered oral diazepam (2.0 or 3.5 mg/kg), midazolam (0.75 or 1.2 mg/kg), or a placebo in combination with 50% nitrous oxide/50% oxygen, or room air. The mouse staircase model was ...

Lots of research focuses on the combinatorics behind various bases of cluster algebras. This paper studies the natural basis of a type A cluster algebra, which consists of all cluster monomials. We introduce a new kind of combinatorial formula for the cluster monomials in terms of the so-called globally compatible collections. We give bijective proofs of these formulas by comparing with the wel...

Following the study of Pirozzoli [1], the objective of the present work is to provide a detailed theoretical analysis of the spectral properties and the conservation properties of nonlinear finite difference discretizations. First, a Nonlinear Spectral Analysis (NSA) is proposed in order to study the statistical behaviour of the modified wavenumber of a nonlinear finite difference operator, for...

Dengue is a critical communicable and vector-borne disease and is becoming a serious concern in Malaysia. It is important to have an early detection system that could provide immediate action, such as the control of dengue transmission at a specific location. However, the available strategy and action may give long-term effects to the community since inaccurate decision making or prediction may...
