Processing passive constructions in arabic and english a crosslanguage priming study
( Georgetown University Press , 2019 , Article)The English and Arabic languages each have passive constructions, but their realizations in the two languages are quite different. We carried out a syntactic priming experiment on Arabic-English bilinguals to investigate ... -
A brief self-rating scale for the assessment of individual differences in gesture perception and production
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Gesture production and perception have a strong impact on speech perception and social-communicative functioning. Consequently, we created the 'Brief Assessment of Gesture' (BAG) tool, a set of 12 subjective statements ... -
The neural basis of idea density during natural spoken language
( Springer International Publishing , 2020 , Book chapter)Idea density (ID) evolved as a quantification of propositional base structure. Besides its function as a measure of linguistic complexity, ID has also been used as an index of general linguistic ability. In order to find ... -
Revitalising abandoned heritage villages: the case of Tinbak, Qatar
( Cogent OA , 2021 , Article)As an archaeological heritage, valuable heritage settlements entail preservation to avoid destruction and eventual extinction. Intending to propose a study for revitalising heritage villages, Tinbak is selected as a case ... -
Virtual reconstruction of the historic city of Al-Zubarah in Qatar
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)The ruins of al-Zubarah hold within them valuable information for historians and anthropologists to know the society that once lived in it. Thanks to contemporary modelling methods, and a wealth of recent scholarship and ... -
Biodiversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in plant roots and rhizosphere soil from different arid land environment of Qatar
( John Wiley and Sons Inc , 2022 , Article)Recently more attention has been observed toward the role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in plant growth. Qatar belongs to the Arabian Gulf region with hot and dry climatic conditions. The study aims to investigate ... -
Novel Prosopis juliflora leaf ethanolic extract coating for extending postharvest shelf-life of strawberries
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is a rich source of nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants including vitamin C. Its susceptibility to mechanical injuries, dehydration, and fungal infections make its postharvest shelf-life ... -
Novel Prosopis juliflora leaf ethanolic extract as natural antimicrobial agent against food spoiling microorganisms
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Fresh produces spoilage is a worldwide concern that accompany the global increase in food demand. Adverse human health and environmental effects of commercial spoilage control agents are major public concern. In this study, ... -
Fungal food spoilage of supermarkets' displayed fruits
( Veterinary World , 2019 , Article)Background and Aim: Post-harvest fungal infection of fruits and vegetables is mainly caused by fungal pathogens that can be harmful to both human and animals as they produce mycotoxins, post-harvest diseases in fruits and ... -
Halophytes as important sources of antioxidants and anti-cholinesterase compounds
( Springer International Publishing , 2021 , Book chapter)Halophytes are plants adapted to high salinity, and they are common in many places around the world where environmental conditions are inconvenient for the growth of conventional plants. Normally, plants exposed to harsh ... -
Multi-species attributes as the condition for adaptive sampling of rare species using two-stage sequential sampling with an auxiliary variable
( The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc , 2011 , Conference Paper)Assessing populations of rare species is challenging because of the large effort required to locate patches of occupied habitat and achieve precise estimates of density and abundance. The presence of a rare species has ... -
Regression-type estimators for adaptive two-stage sequential sampling
( Springer , 2013 , Article)Adaptive two-stage sequential sampling (ATSSS) design was developed to observe more rare units and gain higher efficiency, in the sense of having a smaller variance estimator, than conventional sampling designs with equal ... -
Complete allocation sampling: An efficient and easily implemented adaptive sampling design
( Wiley , 2010 , Article)Adaptive sampling designs are becoming increasingly popular in environmental science, particularly for surveying rare and aggregated populations. An adaptive sample is one in which the survey design is modified, or adapted, ... -
Use of post-stratification in composite sampling for estimating mean
( Springer , 2011 , Article)We show with the results of a study conducted in the Hamadan Province, Iran as to how the use of composite sampling for estimating mean zinc concentration in the soil can help reduce analytical costs by reducing the number ... -
Asymptotic properties of the sample mean in adaptive stratified sequential sampling with multiple selection criteria
( Iranian Mathematical Society , 2013 , Article)We extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequen-tial sampling to include designs where there is more than one crite-ria used in deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort. These criteria, or conditions, can ... -
Adaptive and unequal probability survey designs for environmental management
( The Modelling and Simulation Society of Australia and New Zealand Inc , 2011 , Conference Paper)Designing an efficient large-area survey is a challenge, especially in environmental science when many populations are rare and clustered. Adaptive and unequal probability sampling designs are appealing when populations ... -
Horvitz-thompson estimator of population mean under inverse sampling designs
( Iranian Mathematical Society , 2012 , Article)Inverse sampling design is generally considered to be an appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only a few units. Here, we de- rive the Horvitz-Thompson estimator ... -
Application of Balanced Acceptance Sampling to an Intertidal Survey
( De Gruyter Open Ltd , 2017 , Article)In ecological studies, the population of interest is often spread over a large area. In these studies, obtaining a sample with good spatial coverage is an important feature in the design of a survey. In most cases adjacent, ... -
Bootstrap confidence intervals for adaptive cluster sampling design based on Horvitz-Thompson type estimators
( Kluwer Academic Publishers , 2014 , Article)Perez and Pontius (J Stat Comput Simul 76:755-764, 2006) introduced several bootstrap methods under adaptive cluster sampling using a Horvitz-Thompson type estimator. Using a simulation study, they showed that their proposed ... -
An unbalanced ranked-set sampling method to get more than one sample from each set
( American Association for Public Opinion Research , 2018 , Article)In ranked-set sampling, the restriction of selecting just one individual from each set may require too many sets. We propose a new version of ranked-set sampling that relaxes this restriction. Our new design uses stratified ...
