Study Methodology Sample Clauses

Study Methodology. While the thirty compositions examined in this study were written to assess English fluency for college placement, this study will use the compositions to assess whether or not the student writers transfer agreement patterns from their native L1 Arabic into their L2 written English. The compositions were written in a timed, topic-writing classroom setting to satisfy the following topic: “Compare: choose to follow customs of new country, or keep customs of original country. Which do you prefer? Why?” The thirty compositions that are included in this study were written to address this topic and determine if the writer’s English fluency was sufficient to enter university classes or if lack of fluency necessitated enrollment in the university’s intensive English program. The financial and social impact of performance on this composition task cannot be understated so the likelihood of a student sloughing off on this assignment, through either inattention or poor attitude, is minimal. Although it is curious that the topic assignment is grammatically deficient in article usage, I surmise that this was a test device the institution intended to foil imitators. The repeated use of this particular topic at the institution and its role in accurate student placement speaks to its instrument reliability and internal consistency. The student compositions, based on this topic instrument, were obtained more than one year after they were written by the students, and this study was not done in conjunction with, nor was ever associated with, the original fluency assessment. Since the compositons were completed independently of this study, there is no impact from students knowing that they are part of a study (the Hawthorne effect) or from students trying to provide content that they feel is expected (the halo effect) (Xxxxxx and Xxxx, 2011, p. 114; Bergen, 2016, p. 195). This study performs error correction, data analysis, and supplemental grammatical correlations on thirty compositions written in an L2 English by native Arabic writers, which were written to fulfill the above referenced university fluency assessment. The composition sampling that populates this study was done randomly within the L2 English fluency assessment setting with a stipulated participant characteristic of native Arabic writer from Saudi Arabia. Despite the fact that biometric information is not available for these writers, the thirty compositions exhibit concrete references to locale and culture that ...

Study Methodology. Title XVI: Aliens who left the U.S. for 30 days or more (I8 Alerts) The Office of Data Exchange (ODX) analyzed the SSR for a sample of the 1,052 I8 alerted cases released in Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 to determine the amount of the recurring monthly payment that was suspended and the amount of retroactive overpayment attributable to the detection of recipients who left the U.S. for 30 days or longer. The findings from this analysis reflect the results from the FO development of the 1,052 I8 alerted cases. Title XVI: Aliens removed from the U.S. (3D Alerts) ODX analyzed the SSR for all 61 of the 3D alerted cases released in FY 2015 to determine the amount of the recurring monthly payment that was suspended and the amount of retroactive overpayment attributable to the detection of alien removals. The findings from this analysis reflect the results from the FO’s development of the 61 3D alerted cases. Title II: Aliens removed from the U.S. (3D Alerts) ODX obtained the Social Security numbers (SSN) of all 126 Title II records with 3D removal alerts, which Systems released from March 2015 to September 2015. ODX analyzed the MBRs and the Disability, Railroad, Alien and Military Service (DRAMS) file records of the cases identified by the 3D removal alerts to determine the amount of recurring monthly benefits suspended due to the detection of the alien removals. The findings from this analysis reflect the results from the PSC development of the 126 3D alerted cases.

Study Methodology. In this research, the comparative analytical approach will be followed, which is based on the analysis and linking of causes to results, and comparison between legal systems, as this comparison helps to know the advantages of the laws in question and know their disadvantages. Study Plan: While the second one came to indicate the conditions that must be met by electronic writing in order to be authentic. The third one was to clarify the exceptions contained in the need to prove in writing. The concept of writing Writing comes at the top of the means of proving legal actions, due to the ease of preservation and therefore the possibility of referring to it in the event of a dispute between the parties to the contractual relationship, and this means that writing is a means of preparing evidence to prove the agreement and satisfaction of the parties, and therefore the agreement to write may be in non-material means, but according to the supports that lead to the same purpose of traditional writing. So that if the concept of writing is referred to, we will know that it does not exceed symbols that express thought, and saying, and it is not a condition to understand this expression that it is assigned to a specific medium, whether on wood, paper, stone, or on leather plates. As long as this medium is able to transmit writing symbols, it is reliable. The legislator did not address the definition of writing, but the work was stabilized and the definition of official documents as ((documents recorded by the official employee in the records in accordance with the conditions prescribed by law)).

Study Methodology. Xxxxx & XxXxxxxxx has prepared decommissioning studies for over 200 facilities on various types of fossil fuel and renewable power plants using a proven approach to develop these estimates. The methodology for estimating decommissioning and demolition costs has been developed over the years by Xxxxx & XxXxxxxxx’x team along with feedback from demolition contractors. In addition to preparing decommissioning estimates, Xxxxx & XxXxxxxxx has supported demolition projects as the owner’s engineer, which has included the evaluation of demolition bids and the oversight of demolition activities. This experience has provided Xxxxx & XxXxxxxxx with insight into the range of competitive demolition bid prices, which also assists in confirming the reasonableness of the decommissioning estimates developed by Xxxxx & XxXxxxxxx. Since the Project is still in the design phase, preliminary drawings as well as drawings from similar projects were used in developing this Study. Using known quantities and applied labor rates, Xxxxx & XxXxxxxxx evaluated decommissioning costs for two potential turbine model types with an identical configuration.
