Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore the types of the spelling errors students of grade ten make and to find out whether there were any significant differences between males and females with respect to the types of the spelling errors made. The sample of the study included 90 grade ten students from four different schools in Oman. The researcher collected the research data via using a test that consisted of two questions: a dictation question of 70 words with a contextualizing sentence and a free writing task. The misspellings were classified into nine different types. The findings revealed that the most common spelling errors among Omani grade ten students were vowel substitution, then came vowel omission in the second place and consonant substitution in the third place. Male students omitted more vowels than female students while females made more true word errors than their male counterparts. In light of the findings, the study presents some recommendations for curriculum develo

Abstract: Landslides are one of the critical geological processes, which causes not only enormous damage to civil engineering structures such as hydropower plant, road, bridges, dams and houses but also lead to loss of life. The construction of hydropower projects involve disturbance to the natural slop making them vulnerable to landslides. Therefore, there is a need for landslide hazard zonation so that hazardous area could be stabilized before it escalates major disaster. The present study attempts to develop a landslide model by using multi-criteria decision analysis using Geographical Information Science (GIS) and remote sensing techniques. The proposed Sunkoshi -2 High Dam Project area was selected for the model implementation. Digital topographical data, regional geological maps, remote sensing image and field data were used as inputs to the study. The data layers represent the elevation, drainage, soil type, geology (geological faults and existing landslide), slope, aspects and land use.
