Third-year Students’ Difficulties in Translating Computing Terms from English into Arabic

Undergraduate Students

Arrays of junctions provide for relatively large power but due to nonlinearities they can exhibit diverse complex spatiotemporal patterns. Experiments, simulations and analysis were performed on a broad range of discrete arrays of Josephson-junction oscillators in order to understand their ability to produce coherent radiation. Networks ranging from single square and triangular plaquettes to on...
