    This study examines why female journalists in an Arab country continue to be marginalized. It hypothesized that a set of interrelated factors, pertaining to gender discrimination, sexual harassment, and the lack of a legally ...
  • Blockchain model for environment/infrastructure monitoring in cloud-enabled high-altitude platform systems 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Dahrouj, Hayssam (2024-02-23)
    The recently accentuated features of augmenting conventional wireless networks with high altitude platform systems (HAPS) have fueled a plethora of applications, which promise to offer new services to ground users, as well ...
  • A Blockchain Model for Secure Communications in Internet of Vehicles 
    Mershad, Khaleel; Said, Bilal (IEEE, 2024-03-08)
    The wide expansion of the Internet of Things is pushing the growth of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) into the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). Secure data communication is vital to the success and stability of the IoV and ...
  • Blog and intercultural grouping effect on learners' perceptions of intercultural communication projects 
    Awada, Ghada; Diab, Nuwar Mawlawi (2019-12-09)
