Multilanguage Library Search Systems

This thesis presents an application of information retrieval in a multilingual environment, by computerising the documents stored in a library. These documents are either in English/French or in Arabic. Some approaches to processing them are discussed; the possibilities to mix the documents are studied and a solution is developed. English and French documents are grouped together and a method for their retrieval is developed. Arabic documents are not considered in their original scripts but are romanised. The proposed method for searching the Arabic documents is based on the reduction of the words into root-pattern pairs which is handled by a morphological study of the Arabic words. The Arabic documents are totally separated from English/French documents. Finally, a user interface and the implementation of the system are developed to realise the aim of this project. The user interface gives possibilities for the user of the library to search documents in either English/French or Arabic. File structures are presented in the context of information retrieval and an evaluation of the system in terms of efficiency is studied

Obstacles of Scientific Research with Faculty of University of Jadara from Their Point of View

This study aimed to estimate the existence of the scientific research obstacles’ degree from the point of faculty at the University of wall from their point of view, the number of members that respond to the study reached 100 samples, and this number accounts 80% of the study society. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher developed a questionnaire consisting of (53) items, with a sliding scale of five levels, divided into five fields: scientific research skills, jury research, disseminate research, faculty member, financial and administrative constraints. The study found that the field of ​​financial and administrative hindrances had the first place, followed by the obstacles of fields of scientific research skills, than the obstacles related to the field of research arbitration, after that publish of the research. The obstacles that related to an individual faculty ranked the last place and the existence of statistically significant differences between the responses of the study society about the knowledge of scientific research skills that facing the faculty members in the scientific research at the University of Jadara is the variable of gender in the interest of males. In addition to the nonexistence of differences of statistically significances between the study community responses about the obstacles related to the field of research arbitration, the obstacles that related to the field of publishing the researches, the obstacles related to the field of faculty member, and financial and administrative obstacles faced by faculty members in research related to gender. As well as the existence of differences of statistically significances between the study society in responses about the obstacles faced by the faculty members in the scientific research at the University of Jadara due to the variables of: college, academic rank, years of Experience. The researcher came out with several recommendations including raising the adequacy of the faculty members at the university in the scientific research skills by involving them in specialized courses in this field inside and outside the university. Lay the basis and instructions that organize the procedures of receiving, arbitration, publish the researches in the scientific journals, and increase the funding of scientific research. Keywords: Scientific research obstacles, University of Jadara

Uprising of Creation in Education

This research (Uprising of Creation in Education) aims at defining the importance of creativity in education, and its reflection on the elements of the educational process. Creativity is regarded an important element in the nations progress, which depends on the minds of their sons. Creativity became the language of the present age, after the transformation of the educational and psychological scientists interest from studying the intellectual student to the study of creative student, and the factors that contribute in his creativity, and the role of university and the educational institution in developing and promoting the students' capacities in creativity, innovation, novelty, originality, elasticity, and criticizing thinking. The researcher concluded a group of results like: Technological, perceptive and pragmatic revolution, discoveries, and modern inventions are fruitful results of the creativity of scientists. The researcher recommended conducting studies about employing the achievements of creative revolution in education, and its role in solving social problems.

A Study of the Corrosion Behavior of Magnesium and its Alloys in Aggressive Environment

Magnesium presents indeed a low corrosion resistance [1, 2, 3, 4]. Moreover the behavior of this metal and its alloys is still poorly known in many corrosive environments which limit its applications. Magnesium is particularly sensitive to galvanic corrosion. The presence of impurities (Fe, Ni, Cu, Cr ...) in its matrix with potential higher than that of Magnesium promotes the reduction reactions, especially that of hydrogen and thus generates the galvanic corrosion of magnesium [1, 5]. From its purity depends its resistance to corrosion. The use of alloying elements can improve the corrosion resistance of magnesium (and also the mechanical properties). A beneficial effect of aluminum and manganese on the corrosion resistance of magnesium has been demonstrated [4]. The objective of this work was to evaluate the corrosion of Mg and its alloys by electrochemical method (potentiodynamic) in an aqueous solution of 0.5 M Na2SO4. Keywords: Corrosion, magnesium, protection, passivation, alloying elements

The Role of University administration in Applying the administrative methods for Institutional development in Jordanian Universities in light of distance Education

The study aimed to identify the role of university administration in the application of administrative foundations for institutional development in Jordanian universities in light of distance education from the point of view of academic leaders, and the descriptive survey approach was used, and the study sample consisted of (170) academic leaders, and the questionnaire was used as a study tool.

Spiritual Intelligence and Its Relation to Psychological Endurance Among Faculty Members at Jadara University

The current study is aiming at recognizing the relation between spiritual intelligence and psychological endurance among faculty members of Jadara University along with calculating differences according to sex, academic degree, years of experience and marital status through a sample of 124 persons. In order to achieve study objectives, researchers used the spiritual intelligence scale developed by Amram and translated by Al-Issal along with the psychological endurance scale developed by Connor and Davidson and translated by Al-Talla’. Results indicated positive correlation of statistical denotation between spiritual intelligence and psychological endurance among faculty members of Jadara University while indicating that faculty members have high level of spiritual intelligence and psychological endurance. Results also clarified lack of difference of statistical denotation in the averages of spiritual intelligence in all aspects among faculty members according to study variables (sex, academic degree, years of experience and marital status), while indicating differences of statistical denotation in the averages of psychological endurance in all aspects among faculty members referring to sex among females. Results indicate lack of differences of statistical denotation in the averages of psychological endurance according to study variables (sex, academic degree, years of experience and marital status), as well as the potential of predicting total degree for estimating psychological endurance through the total degree of spiritual intelligence among faculty members at Jadara University.
