One of the applications is to enhance the electrical conductivity of polymer by using CNFs as fillers. This kind of treatment will be useful in the situations where electrostatic dissipation capability of the polymer part is important. This paper presents an investigation of the electrical resistivities of CNF/polymer suspensions of different CNF concentrations, i.e., 2.0wt%, 3.0wt%, 4.5wt%, and 6.0wt%. For determining the electrical resistivities of the CNF/polymer suspensions, a DC-sensor was constructed and used in the experiments. The experimental results indicate that the electrical resistivity of the CNF-polyester suspension decreases as CNF weight fraction increases. In addition, the results show a dramatic decrease of the resistivity when the measurement time prolongs. An empirical model to predict the electrical resistivity evolution of the CNF/polyester suspension was proposed in this paper. Good agreement between the empirical model predictions and the experimental results was found.

These capacities allowed for the distinct ways that humans living in different parts of the world classified and represented their experiences and acted creatively.

It analyzes the translation techniques employed in both translations to compare those techniques.

The multi-layered translation offers ample opportunity for researchers to analyze and illuminate the translation’s different characteristics. Other Arabic translations of the Peshitta have been characterized as rather free translations. The translator omitted or added words as he saw fit.
This study will analyze the pluses and minuses in the Ar-Isaiah as preserved in Diez A fol 41 to establish general and interpretative tendencies displayed in the translation and some of the techniques used by the translator to render his Syriac text.

A list of hapax legomena will be generated using the computer software Verbum. The list will be envaulted and characterized as absolute and non-absolute hapaxes based on Greenspahn’s definition and criteria. After establishing a list, each Greek hapax’s Arabic rendering will be examined individually to understand how the translator handled these specific “issues.” The study is of translation found in Vat Ar 445.
