    The effects of reflective writing on EFL student-teachers’ critical thinking: a quasi-experimental study

    This study employed a quasi-experimental, non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design (Stanley and Campbell 1963), because the participants (pre-existing groups D1 and D2) could not be assigned at random because of rules at the College….

  • Micron scale binary periodic phase plate for increased depth of focusing based on a non local analysis and design

    Micron scale binary periodic phase plate for increased depth of focusing based on a non local analysis and design

    In this section, BPPPs are designed for various purposes. One purpose is single focusing for periods in the lower and higher ranges at a large depth of over \(750 \times 10^3 \lambda _o\), i.e., 1m at a wavelength of \(1.33\mu m\), while keeping…

    The \(q^{th}\) moment about origin for the EOLxPL distribution usually denoted by \(\mu^{\prime}_{q}\) is given by

    $$\mu^{\prime}_{q} = E(Z^{q} ) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty } {z^{q} \varphi (z; \alpha , \beta , \gamma , \delta ,\lambda )}…

  • Enhancing security and usability with context aware multi-biometric fusion for continuous user authentication

    Enhancing security and usability with context aware multi-biometric fusion for continuous user authentication

    In this section, we evaluate the performance of the keystroke dynamics and gait-based authentication modules, both individually and in combination, within a multi-modal continuous authentication framework. The goal is to assess the effectiveness…
