Includes laboratory experiments emphasizing on biotic & abiotic parts of the ecosystem such as soil, water, gases, humidity, human & living organisms.
It also includes field trips to locations of ecological interest including aquatic & terrestrial ecosystems.
In this study, dynamic analysis is conducted on a Floating Mooring Line-Driven Platform (FMDP) subjected to sea wave forces. The effect of changing mooring lines pattern is investigated to enhance the dynamic behavior of the FMDP. The analysis is demonstrated with six mooring lines FMDP. A new mooring lines pattern (6-3-3) is studied and compared with the (6-6) Stewart-Gough manipulator pattern. The dynamic behavior, cables tension, and platform stiffness are determined across FMDP effective area. The dynamic analysis of FMDP is improved using the new mooring lines pattern (6-3-3).
The College of Arts at Hebron University organized a scientific trip to Jordan for the students of the departments of Tourism and Antiquities, and Applied Geography. 42 students participated in the trip under the supervision of Mr. Mohammed Al-Adarbeh, Dr. Hassan Kaddoumi and Ms. Najat Dana. The trip program included a visit to Wadi Rum Reserve and the city of Aqaba, during which the prominent tourist attractions in the city were visited, such as the historic Aqaba Castle, the Museum of Marine Life and the Red Sea.
