The Relationship Between Computerized Accounting Information Systems and Rationalizing the Government Expenditures at the General Budget of Jordan
The study aimed to measure the relationship between computerized Accounting Information Systems (CAIS) and rationalizing the government expenditures at the general budget of Jordan, and the study sample consist of (176) employees who work in the Jordanian Ministry of Finance departments, which amounted to (22), including department managers and their assistants, financial auditors, and accounting departments' heads and accountants working in the departments. The study relied on the descriptive analytical approach, and the multiple correlation analysis was used to test the study hypotheses. The results showed the existence of a moral relationship between the dimensions of CAIS (human resources, equipments and devices, databases, procedures, and control) and rationalizing the government expenditures at the general budget of Jordan, and the study's recommendations included the need to provide governmental units with sufficient number of experts and programmers, in order to operate, manage, and maintain the devices and equipments, and data files, in a way that ensures the highest levels of control.

Unprecedented Ractivity Of 1-Aza-2-Azoniaallene Salts: New Methodologies And Mechanistic Studies For The Formation Of Diazenium Salts And Tetrahydropyridazines
This thesis describes the research conducted towards the overall goal of developing new synthetic organic methods to facilitate the synthesis of structurally complex nitrogen-containing polycyclic compounds. More specifically, I will describe the diverse reactivity of 1-aza-2-azoniaallene systems to make polycyclic diazenium salts and tetrahydropyridazine rings. I will also describe mechanistic studies undertaken to better understand this reactivity.
The Brewer research group has discovered that hydrazones undergo an oxidation reaction with chlorodimethylsulfonium chloride to afford -chloroazo compounds, which react intramolecularly with pendent alkene units to give bicyclic ring fused and bridged diazenium salts. My work includes a mechanistic study to understand how the reaction proceeds and what factors affect its outcome. I will also describe the development of a new method to make diazenium salts in a shorter and more efficient route using a hypervalent Iodine (III) reagent.
More recently, our group discovered new and different modes of reactivity of 1-aza-2-azoniaallene salts that included C-H amination reactions, polar [4 + 2] cycloadditions, electrophilic aromatic substitutions, and a chloroamination reaction. Our group was able to utilize these newly discovered reactivities in the preparation of pyrazolines, pyrazoles, tetrahydrocinnolines, and pyridazines, which are all complex compounds of great synthetic utilities that were made in short chemical transformations. Herein I describe my work to understand the scope and limitations of using these heteroallenes in the synthesis of pyridazines
Invariant-based Program Repair
This paper describes a formal general-purpose automated program repair (APR)
framework based on the concept of program invariants. In the presented repair
framework, the execution traces of a defected program are dynamically analyzed
to infer specifications and , where
represents the set of likely invariants (good patterns)
required for a run to be successful and represents the set
of likely suspicious invariants (bad patterns) that result in the bug in the
defected program. These specifications are then refined using rigorous program
analysis techniques, which are also used to drive the repair process towards
feasible patches and assess the correctness of generated patches.We demonstrate
the usefulness of leveraging invariants in APR by developing an invariant-based
repair system for performance bugs. The initial analysis shows the
effectiveness of invariant-based APR in handling performance bugs by producing
patches that ensure program's efficiency increase without adversely impacting
its functionality.Comment: Accepted for publication in the 27th International Conference on

The modern Arabic novel: a literary and linguistic analysis of the genre of popular fiction, with special reference to translation from English.
The aim of this thesis is to examine the notion of 'genre' in general as a basic
unit in linguistic, cultural and literary analysis. Chapter One is an introduction
to this study outlining my aims and objectives which are mainly related to
popular fiction in English and Arabic. Chapter Two discusses the theory of
genre both from a linguistic and a literary point of view, underlining crosscultural
differences and similarities. These critical insights should enable us to
form an overall picture of how the subject of my case study (Mills & Boon and
its translation into Arabic) is viewed in the languages and cultures concerned:
this particular genre has not been acceptable to the Western literary
establishment until recently, and is not acceptable to the Arabic critical
establishment even today.
Chapter Three historically deals with the first attempts in writing novels in
Arabic. This was influenced by translation, but an Arabic genre nevertheless
emerged. Chapter Four critically focuses on this aspect of the canonization of
the novel in Arabic. This has influenced the development of popular fiction in
this language. Chapter Five presents a detailed analysis of one particular
example of popular fiction in Arabic, one which was seen negatively by the
critics. Chapter Six discusses the tension between the canon and the periphery
as far as the novel is concerned. This is illustrated by an analysis of an Arabic
novel which we take to be a good example of popular fiction. Chapter Seven
deals with aspects of Eastern and Western translation theory relevant to my
analysis of genre. Chapter Eight presents a detailed analysis of a Mills & Boon
novel in English and its translation into Arabic. Finally, Chapter Nine briefly
summarizes the issues discussed and points us towards some general direction
and pedagogic implications
Attitudes towards translanguaging: how future teachers perceive the meshing of Arabic and English in children’s storybooks
© 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group This paper seeks to identify the attitudes of bilingual future teachers towards translanguaging when writing stories for bilingual young learners, and to understand the various forces that shape their attitudes. Translanguaging, in the context of this study, refers to the dynamic and intended shuttling between languages or dialects. An assignment in a Children’s Literature course in a bilingual university in the United Arab Emirates required participants to move across Modern Standard Arabic, their native Emirati Arabic, and English both between and within sentences, and to allocate equal weight to these languages/varieties in the meaning-making process. As an ethnographic study, participants’ attitudes were elicited at various stages of the research project. The findings indicate that they held paradoxical and ambivalent attitudes towards translanguaging, and that language ideology played a crucial role in determining their attitudes, as well as the degree to which translanguaging in writing was accepted or rejected
Using Hybrid Power Generation to Ensure the Reliability of Power System in Jordan
There is an increase in the growing of interest in renewable energy system, especially solar and wind for their availability and cost of running competition in the Middle East. Hybrid systems of renewable energy generation have two or more different sources usually generate different types of ensuring the continuous supply of electrical charges. The system is considered to consist of wind turbines, batteries, optical, and conventional diesel generators to power a variable load at a speed of 62 kWh / day with the peak load of 6 kW, peak load. The study was based on real data on wind speed and solar radiation to Amman city. There are several options available compared to using a software package HOMER Technical and economic view, economic, and possible low of pollutant emissions.
