Abstract This study focused on the upper basin of wadi Al-Khaleel. It has been studying the physical factors in the study area to determined their influence in the geomorphological formation of the area. The study contains: 1- Studying the climatic factors (rain and temperature)، which considered an important elements in the Geomorphological formation of the area by weathering and denudation. 2- Studying the biological factors (Plants، Animals، Human)، and analyzing their influences on geomorphological Landscape of the study area. 3- Analyzing the roles of geological factors such as folds، faults and rock formations in forming the natural surface of study area. 4- Classifying geomorphological features existing in wadi Al-Khaleel according to their forming factors and developmental stages as the following: A) Geomorphological features of fault origin. B) Geomorphological features of horizontal structure formation. C) Geomorphological features resulted from denudation process which includes depositions and caristification features. 5- Studying the hydrological network and its geomorphological and Morphometrical characteristics، where became clear that: the Geomorphological characteristics of the drainage system were affected by the natural characteristics of wadi Al-Khaleel. The joints determined the drainage system directions. And the research used several Indexes and equations that usually used in such quantitative studies. 6- In the applied Geomorphology، the study shed light on: Analyzing the influence of slops on the land use in the study area. The study reaches many conclusions such as: A) It might be concluded that the origin of wadi Al-Khaleel dated back to Oligocene – Pleistocene.

Abstract :

Abstract This study is aimed at exploring the implications and applications of two text-linguistic notions: ''managing'' and ''emotiveness with special reference to the production and translation of sensitive news texts. It shows how Israeli media writers use various manipulative strategies in reporting the Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip in 2006. Additionally, and more significantly, the study explores the ways translators approach sensitive news reports loaded with ideological content and news media norms to redraw the ideological map impinged in translated media discourse. For the purpose of analysis, three main news articles along with many sample texts are extracted from two Israeli newspapers, namely: Haaretz and the Jerusalem Post (2006). The data is analyzed in accordance with discourse analysis approaches (de Beaugrande and Dressler 1981, Brwon and Yule 1983, Basil Hatim 1990, 1997). As far as translation is of interest, the researcher has designed three content-based questionnaires of each fifteen copies were distributed as translation assignments to Palestinian students enrolled in the MA Program of Applied Linguistics and Translation at An-Najah National University in Nablus. The questionnaires contain three news articles in the English version (from Haaretz & The Jerusalem Post, 2006). In two of the articles, the commission is to translate the text for Al-Quds paper. The purpose is to test which parts of the text are most nervous and to describe the translation strategies employed. The first text was left non-contextualised to determine whether translators abide by or depart from the linguistic features of the ST. The thesis consists of five chapters: chapter one includes the introduction, methodology, organization of the study and review of related literature. Chapter two, negotiating text type in translation, focuses on the translation of hybrid texts and compares the translation with the original. Chapter three presents thematic structures and their effects on translation. It discusses the various norms of staging discourse, such as information structure, headline, passive vs. active, markedness and source quoting. It also compares the staging norms Al-Quds paper employs with translated target samples. Chapter four examines the ideological components that mark sensitive texts. It investigates the translation strategies employed in turning texts of sensitive nature into the TT. It also compares emotive sensitive lexis in the TT with those that appear in Al-Quds paper. T

Abstract :
Abstract In the first chapter, I discussed the people's stand from death starting from the pre-Islamic period till the Palestinian folkloric human being. Then I attempted to clarify the idea on which the folkloric mind built its philosophy towards death, that idea represented in the duality of Ii Fe and death. The folkloric thought believes in the presence of another life after death, and that death is not more than a gate of the second life. Such idea is derived from the natural surrounding phenomena such as plants, tile sun, and the moon. After contemplating their life cycle, they were sure that they come back to life after their death. In this way, the ancient human being tried to simulate them in his life. The second chapter is dedicated to discuss the ceremonies practiced by the relatives of the dead on their dead person, represented by funeral dancing accompanied by music, beating the chest, tearing the hair, mourning and its aspects, destroying the properties of the dead including their clothes, tools, or horses. This chapter is concluded by explaining the phrase "don't go faraway" in their mourning. I noticed that these ceremonies serve only one idea that attempt satisfy the spirit of the (lead and supply it with happiness in its second life so that it may not harm the living. In the third chapter, I classified the Palestinian folkloric mourning poems according to their occasions. I have found out that the folkloric literature dedicated certain texts to the death of a young person that are different from those cited in the death of women, the martyr, the old and the child. I also added to these types the mourning crying on other occasions such as lamenting banishment, the Palestinian cause, misfortune, and time. In the fourth chapter, I discussed the artistic imagery in folkloric mourning. I dealt with the symbols used by the lamenting women. I tried to refer such symbols to its culture of origin and myths by looking into the artistic indications of such symbols in ancient mythologies. I talked about the tree, the raven, the owl, the lion, the camel, the eagle, the sun, the moon, and the underworld.

Abstract :

Abstract This thesis is about the relation between the closeness centrality of the first infected node in the network and each of the total infection time that needs to infect all nodes in that network ,the infection rate for spreading epidemics in that network ,which measures the fraction of nodes those infected per unit time and the infection spreading power of that node ,that measures the power for each node to spread the epidemic to other uninfected nodes in that network . In this thesis, I deal with four types of networks ,unweighted small and large networks and weighted small and large networks and study that relation in these four types. The importance of this work is when we find the closeness centrality and the infection spreading power of any node that help us understand which weakness or advantages this node has for maintenance or blocking dangers at the right time . In this work, I made some development in the SI model for the epidemic network in which most of authors consider the infection rate in that model assumed and constant. In this work I found that this infection rate is not constant but it depends on the closeness centrality of the first infected node in the network ,hence I suggest to replace the infection rate in the SI model by the closeness centrality of the first infected node in the network . The results obtained from this work show that each of the total infection time, the infection rate and the infection spreading power when any node infected first in the network depend on the closeness centrality for that node .

Abstract :

Abstract This thesis consider some queuing models to determine the measures of performance of a model. The most important measures are the waiting time in the queue and the size of the queue. The queue we are studying is the Beit-eba crossing check-point for both people arriving and people departing from Nablus City. A comparison is made in order to determine the best fit model among two assumed models and the one under study(real one)using a suitable tool of simulation “SimQuick” which performs process simulation within the Excel spreadsheet environment. To prove that we got good results for our study. We started by an assumed queue model and solve it analytically by the known formulas of queuing theory. Next, we use simulation by "SimQuick" to compare results, which showed a good agreement between analytical solution and simulation. The study showed that the single-channel queue is more efficient than the multiple-channels queues.

Abstract :

Abstract The design, construction and operation of a solid adsorption solar cooler are presented in this work. Granular activated carbon-methanol as the adsorbent /adsorbate pair was used. The System has three important components: collector/adsorber, condenser and evaporator. A flat plate type collector made of stainless steel with effective exposed area of 0.95m² was used. Two types of condensers were tested, the first one was a helical copper tube immersed in water tank and the other one was a finned stainless steel tube. Solar radiation was simulated using an electrical heater regulated by a solid state relay and potentiometer. The experimental work was focused on optimizing the suitable amount of activated carbon/methanol pairs, the influence of regenerator temperature, and the influence of solar flux on the performance of the system. It was found that regenerator temperature greater than 100 °C was necessary to release methanol from the activated carbon. The operating pressure was also found to be an important parameter to achieve cooling effect; the system pressure must be less than 20kPa absolute. As the adsorbent bed is the heart of such system, and its characteristics directly affected the performance of the system, the experimental work showed that the adsorbent bed which was used in this study didn't achieve the best results expected, therefore another adsorbent bed with hollow tubes generator was suggested, it was found that in this type of generator is easier to control the leakage and the pressure inside the system. The type of the condenser and its length was found to be important parameters that affect the performance of the used system. The condenser length should be as short as possible, however, the condenser tube should be straight pipe with fins and without any curvatures to prevent pressure drop in the system. In most cases, the water temperature of 10 °C was obtained using the system for air-conditioning, food and vaccines preservation, and for producing chilled water. The obtained temperature was effected directly by the heat flux applied and the heating period. The optimum heating period was found to be at least 5 hours, while the cooling period was more than 10 hours. In a Lab scale setup solar cooler, it was found that the evaporator volume has a significant effect on the performance of such system; the evaporator volume should not be much larger than the maximum methanol volume charged in the system. The maximum methanol adsorption capacity of the used activated carbon was found to be 0.26 kg methanol / kg activated carbon.
