Traffic congestion problem in Ramallah and Al-Bireh cities : how to mitigate the congested arterials in the two cities
No full textChaos in topological spaces
No full textChaos theory has been at the forefront of research in the last few decades.
In this research, we study chaos theory and various definitions of chaos,
especially Devaney’s definition of chaos. We propose a generalization of Devaney’s
chaos in metric spaces onto topological spaces. We also propose a
relaxation on Devaney’s definition conditions and study the effect of such
relaxation on chaos definition. At last, we study the application of chaotic
maps in hash functions and propose a new method for hash function construction
using the Double chaotic ma

Enhancing computer learning activities using pair-programming techniques
No full textTransitioning computer science students from the university environment,
where everything had to be done individually, into an environment
that would require them to work in pairs might be difficult to most students.
In order to make this transition a smoother one, students need
to be familiarized with the concept of working together in pairs before
they are introduced to the workforce. This motivated the introduction of
pair programming as a teaching technique in our computer science labs.
Pair programming was attempted in several universities worldwide with
various degrees of success. In this paper, we investigate the benefits of
practicing pair programming in education and in the industry. We also
review some conducted experiments where pair programming was used as
a teaching technique. We include the successes and impediments faced in
these experiments. This paper revealed that pair programming as a teaching
technique might have the ability to improve the quality and level of
university students, and make their transition to the industry a smoother

British framing of the frontier in Palestine, 1918-1923 : revisiting colonial sources on tribal insurrection, land tenure, and the Arab intelligentsia
No full textArticle published in : Jerusalem Qaurterly, issue 60, p. 42-58The article discusses an early and little-known tribal insurrection in the Beisan valley in Palestine, in 1920, against the British army and the Zionist settlements; the discussion reveals the British colonial mind-set and their agenda for ruling Palestine and reforming its land tenure as a way to implement their pro-Zionist policy
