It has been recently suggested by Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos and Dvali that gravity may become strong at energies not far above the electroweak scale and thus remove the hierarchy problem. Such a scenario can be tested at both present and future accelerators since towers of Kaluza-Klein gravitons and associated scalar fields now play an important phenomenological role. In this paper we examine se...

Chronic bacteriuria is a common occurrence among spinal-cord injury patients and others with neuropathic bladders. If bacteria are present in the urinary tract, the patient may develop symptoms of infection or remain asymptomatic. We have compared virulence properties of 28 Escherichia coli isolates from patients with symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTI) and 29 E. coli isolates from patie...

The Technology Readiness Index (TRI) developed by Parasuraman (2000) was adapted to measure the technology readiness of public school teachers in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The study aims at better understanding the factors (mostly demographics) that affect such readiness levels. In addition, Abu Dhabi teachers are segmented into five main groups, with the highest percentage being “laggar...

Data replication is a common method used to improve the performance of data access in distributed systems. In this paper, two dynamic replication algorithms, Simple Bottom-Up (SBU) and Aggregate Bottom-Up (ABU), are proposed for the multitier Data Grid. A multi-tier Data Grid simulator called DRepSim is developed for studying the performances of the dynamic replication algorithms. The simulatio...

Öğretimde başarılı olmanın en önemli yollarından biri öğrenciyi/bireyi iyi tanımaktan geçmektedir. Bireyin yetenek ve kabiliyetleri güçlü zayıf yönlerinin bilinmesi öğretim faaliyetlerinin başarısı için önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireyi bir bütün olarak çalışma konusu yapan İslam filozofları arasında ismi zikredilen Ebu Zeyd Ahmet el-Belhî’nin tasviri eğitim anlayışını incelemekt...
