The Distribution of Information in LSP Translation. A Corpus Study of Italian

In LSP translating the production of naturally-sounding, idiomatic target texts is often taken to mean special attention in the use of terminology. However, research in the distribution of the elements of the message in different languages shows that the representation of the information structure is language-specific and that there are language-specific focus-attributing positions within the syntactic structure of sentences. In this paper, features of information structure and focus-attributing positions will be studied in a corpus of English-Italian translations of popular physics articles and compared with a corpus of original Italian articles on the same topic to see if the Italian information structure is used in translation or whether target texts reproduce the original English information structure. Results will show that translations use – at least to a certain extent – the original English information structure, therefore making target texts sound partly unnatural. A number of revision strategies will be proposed to reinstate a more typical Italian information structure in order to ensure that the informational value of sentence elements is preserved and higher-quality LSP translations are produced.
LIPSCHITZ TYPE SMOOTHNESS OF MULTILINEAR FRACTIONAL INTEGRAL ON VARIABLE EXPONENTS SPACES

In this paper, we study the boundedness of multilinear fractional integral operators on variable exponent spaces.It is obtained that these operators are both bounded from strong and weak Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent spaces into Lipschitz type spaces with variable exponent, which gives some new results for previous published papers.A simple way is obtained that is colsely linked with a class of fractional integral operator.
Developing and evaluating a project management methodology (PMM) for university-industry collaborative projects

This study investigates the development of a project management methodology (PMM) to be adopted in a university-industry collaborative (UIC) research environment through semi-structured interviews with project leaders from both universities and industries. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative survey conducted with respondents from the universities and industries involved in collaborative R&D projects in Malaysia. These findings together with those of previous works were used to design an appropriate PMM. The validity of the PMM was assessed by a panel of experts including recognized leaders in the field. The novelty of this survey research is in the creation of a PMM guidebook that offers guidance to the actors involved, assisting them to plan, manage and close their projects successfully.
50-year-old male with recurrent non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction with borderline lesions in angiography

Dynamic development of invasive cardiology techniques significantly improved diagnostic and therapeutic abilities for patients with coronary artery disease. Functional assessment of coronary artery stenosis by fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement or myocardial perfusion studies, such as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), allow detailed characterization of angiographically borderline atherosclerotic lesions in coronary arteries and guidance of therapeutic strategy. We present a case of a 50-year-old male hospitalized repeatedly due to non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMI). Combined functional assessment allowed correct diagnosis and optimal treatment.
Resource Market Power and Levels of Knowledge in General Equilibrium

We analyze monopoly power in a market for a complementary fossil resource like oil in a two country/two period model with international trade in general equilibrium. Focusing on the complex interplay of capital and resource market, we elaborate how these effects feed back into the resource monopolist's extraction decision. His level of knowledge about the economic structure thereby plays a key role. The accumulation of own capital assets over time, together with a recognized influence of extraction on the interest rate, can lead the monopolist to accelerate or postpone extraction. Considering the interaction of resource market and global capital accumulation poses an incentive for the monopolist to accelerate extraction and to exploit the importers' increased resource addiction in the future. The conservationist bias of resource market power can be increased, dampened or reversed through the general equilibrium effects.
Prevalence of Trachoma and Associated Risk Factors among Yello Elementary School Students, In Loma Woreda, Dawro Zone, Ethiopia, 2015

Background: Trachoma is a communicable disease and usually has chronic course. It greatly affects children below age of 10 and especially school and preschool children. It is the leading cause of preventable blindness in developing countries and particularly main cause for blindness in Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional school based study design was conducted among Yello elementary school students in March 2015. A sample of 267students were involved in the study by stratified sampling technique and finally selected by systematic random sampling. Data collection tool were structured questionnaires and check lists for eye examination. The data were collected by health professionals, then processed and analyzed manually using tally sheet and scientific calculator. Possible associations and statistical significance between and among variables were measured using chi-square test, P value <0.05 was used to declare statistical significance. Result: From the total of 267 study population, 61(22.85%) of children had signs of trachoma and it was mainly associated to age (X2 = 18.4, P = 0.000) with more prevalence among age group 7-9 (75.38%). Variables such as age, face washing habit, practice of towel usage, eye problem in the family, and site of waste disposal were statistically associated with trachoma at (P= 0.000). More over mothers and fathers literacy status hadn’t contribute to trachoma morbidity with (P = 0.793). Conclusion: Findings of this study support majority of ideas that are commonly accepted as transmission factors of the disease except some. Trachoma had significant association with age, face washing habit, towel usage practice, history of eye problem in the family and site of waste disposal. Promotion of health information on prevention of trachoma at community and institution level with emphasis for children and women should be given. Early case identification and treatment by health sector and inter-sectional collaboration with others against trachoma is crucial.
The effects of seeding patterns, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizations on production and botanical composition in lucerne-smooth bromegrass mixtures.

YOLCU, H. , Y. SERIN and M. TAN, 2010. The effects of seeding patterns, nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizations on production and botanical composition in lucerne-smooth bromegrass mixtures. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 719-727 Lucerne and smooth bromegrass are commonly cultivated in irrigated and dry lands in intercropping systems in the world. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of seeding patterns (mixed, alternative and crossseeding patterns), nitrogen (0, 60, and 120 kg N ha -1 ) and phosphorus fertilizer (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg P 2 O 5 ha -1 ) rates on dry matter yields, botanical composition and crude protein yield of lucerne-smooth bromegrass mixture in an intercropping system. The experiment was established in 2001 and data were collected in dry matter yield and legume ratio for four years (2002-2005) and in crude protein yield for two years (2002-2003). The results showed that the highest dry matter yield was produced by a alternative seeding pattern. However, the highest legume ratio and crude protein yield was produced by mixtures sown in cross seeding pattern. Nitrogen fertilizer application decreased legume ratio but increased crude protein yield. Phosphorus fertilizer application had no effect on dry matter yield, legume ratio or crude protein yield of the lucerne-smooth bromegrass mixtures.
Synthesis of Chalcopyrite Nanoparticles via Thermal Decomposition of Metal-Thiolate

CuInS2 nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized via thermal decomposition of metal-thiolate in high boiling temperature solvent. This method does not require toxic, unstable and expensive raw materials. Nearly monodispersed NPs with average diameter ranging from 1.8 to 2.8 nm are obtained. The NPs are found to be compositionally copper rich, Cu:In:S=1.6:1.0:1.3. They exhibit size-dependent optical properties such as photoluminescence (PL) and optical absorption, indicating quantum confinement effects. In PL spectra, the stokes-shifts (∼300 meV) from the absorption band edge and their broad PL spectra indicate that PL is ascribed to a donor-acceptor transition. These results demonstrate that chalcopyrite NPs are promising candidates for luminous and solar cell materials.
Determination of prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of bacteria isolated from household and restaurant kitchen utensils of Dhaka, Bangladesh. A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO BRAC UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MICROBIOLOGY

The kitchen is one of the most crucial areas that harbors and transmits infection. This study aimed at isolating, identifying, determining antibiotic susceptibility pattern and investigating antimicrobial activity of dishwashing liquid against the bacterial isolates collected from household and restaurant kitchen utensils (air, knife, spoon and cutting board) of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Sixteen (16) samples collected through sterile swabs were kept for enrichment into nutrient broth at 37oC for 24 hours and were cultured on various selective media. Identification of bacteria was done through conventional biochemical tests according to Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of all isolates were performed against ten commercial antibiotic discs by using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of commercially used dishwasher was also performed using Broth Microdilution method against six selected isolates. A total of about 61 bacterial isolates were identified where Bacillus spp. showed the highest prevalence 18 (29.51%) followed by Vibrio spp. 17 (27.87%), Staphylococcus spp. 13 (21.31%), Klebsiella spp. 6 (9.84%), Shigella spp. 4 (6.56%), Salmonella spp. 2 (3.28%), and E.coli 1 (1.63%). Antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the bacterial isolates showed that almost all of the isolates were resistant to at least two antibiotics. Among the 61 isolates, 72.13% were found resistant to more than two antibiotics and 27.87% were found resistant to two antibiotics. Highest resistance percentage of the isolates were observed to penicillin (83.61%) followed by cefixime (60.65%), amoxicillin and SXT (50.82%), rifampicin (49.18%), cefepime (40.98%), chloramphenicol (18.03%), tetracycline (14.71%), ciprofloxacin (6.56%) and gentamycin (1.64%). Broth Microdilution assay revealed that Shigella spp. showed the highest MIC value (400μl of stock solution) and Staphylococcus spp. showed the lowest MIC value (190μl of stock solution). Besides, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. , Vibrio spp. and Bacillus spp. showed the MIC values 250μl, 300μl, 300μl and 250μl of stock solution respectively. These results indicate that, household and restaurant kitchens can easily be contaminated with a variety of bacterial contaminants. Findings of this study also indicated the presence of multi-drug resistant bacterial strains in kitchen utensils which can serve as potential source of food-borne diseases. Regular cleaning of kitchen utensils, use of dishwashing liquid and public awareness on personal hygiene can help minimize the spread of food-borne diseases from kitchen utensils.
A theoretical analysis of competitive exclusion in a Trans‐Himalayan large‐herbivore assemblage

Understanding livestock grazing impacts on native wildlife is difficult when grazing is pervasive and has a long history. Spiti Valley in the Indian Trans‐Himalaya is characterized by overstocking of rangelands and a grazing history of over 3 millennia. An intriguing aspect of the wild large‐herbivore assemblage in Spiti Valley is its low diversity. In the present theoretical exploration, data on body masses of wild large‐herbivore species in the Trans‐Himalaya are examined against the backdrop of competition theory, to evaluate the possible role of competition in structuring the herbivore assemblage. The analysis is then expanded to include the livestock assemblage, and the possibility of the low wild herbivore diversity in Spiti Valley being a consequence of the high livestock diversity is explored. Null model analyses suggest that competitive interactions may have played a role in structuring the Trans‐Himalayan wild herbivore assemblage. This is reflected in a proportional regularity in species body masses, with each species, on average, being a constant proportion larger than the nearest smaller one. Such a proportional regularity is absent in the livestock assemblage. The analyses make a case for the competitive exclusion of at least four wild grazers in Spiti over the last 3 millennia. The present grazer assemblage conforms reasonably to the theoretical predictions ‐ these four species are among the six wild herbivores presently missing from Spiti. The implications of the analyses for conservation management in the Trans‐Himalaya are discussed.
Does Exchange Rate Depreciation Have Contractionary Effects on Firm-Level Investment?

We assess the conditions under which exchange rate fluctuations are contractionary for firm-level investment. To address this question, we match firm-level balance sheet data with a large dataset of firm-level bonds for about 1,000 firms from 36 emerging market economies over the period 1998-2014. We augment a standard firm-level investment model to control for (country-specific) macroeconomic variables, and interact the effect of an exchange rate depreciation with several dimensions of bond composition, namely: 1) currency of issuance; 2) maturity structure of bonds; and 3) market of issuance. We find that, conditional on the amount of debt issued in foreign currency, an exchange rate depreciation can have a contractionary impact on a firm's investment spending. We also find that the market of issuance and maturity structure, in particular, when coupled with foreign currency-denominated debt can influence this impact.
Origin of Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity of Ag3AsO4 from First-Principles Calculation

Recently a novel sliver oxide Ag3AsO4 has been found to be an excellent photocatalyst with strong oxidation capability for pollutant degradation under visible light. But the origin of its high visible light photocatalytic activity was unclear which hindered further research of Ag3AsO4. For clarifying that, the electronic structure and optical properties of Ag3AsO4 have been analyzed by the hybrid density functional method. The results reveal that the Ag3AsO4 presents a narrow band gap with strong oxidation ability of the valence bands maximum edge and the highly delocalized charge distribution of the conduction bands minimum is beneficial for the carriers transfer to surface to participate in the photocatalytic reaction. These results provide clear explanations of the excellent visible light photocatalytic performance of the Ag3AsO4 from microscopic aspect. And it is significant to design novel materials with high photocatalytic performance.
Value Relevance of Accounting Information and IPO Performance in Indonesia

Therelationship between ex-ante measures of uncertainty of IPO firms and post-IPOmarket performance is well documented in the extant empirical literature both withinthe context developed and emerging markets. The present study is the first toinvestigate the impact of ex-ante uncertainty, as proxied by various financialratios and other information reported in the prospectuses, on the short-runperformance the Indonesian IPO firms using a sample of 71 IPOs over the sampleperiod 2000 through 2008. Results reported in the present study indicate thepresence of a high average market-adjusted first-day IPO return, about 53%, inIndonesia. Furthermore, this strong initial IPO returns in Indonesia arereported to be positively related to the proxy of risk of financial distressbut negatively related to proxies of past profitability and the degree ofestablishment of the issuing firms. The empirical evidence documented in thepresent study conform to a prioriexpectations and are consistent with the empirical evidence reported for otherdeveloped and emerging markets. Theresults reported in this study should be comforting for the general investorsand regulators given the long standing perception of poor quality of accountinginformation in Indonesia. Also, theregulators in smaller-emerging markets would be encouraged by the resultsdocumented in the current study as these results attest to the positive impactof reform measures and relevant regulations on the reliability/quality ofaccounting numbers.
A 2-40 Gb/s PAM4/NRZ dual-mode wireline transmitter with 4:1 MUX in 65-nm CMOS

This paper presents a 2-40 Gb/s dual-mode wireline transmitter supporting the four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) modulation with a multiplexer (MUX)-based two-tap feed-forward equalizer (FFE). An edge-acceleration technique is proposed for the 4:1 MUX to increase the bandwidth. By utilizing a dedicated cascode current source, the output swing can achieve 900 mV with a level deviation of only 0.12% for PAM4. Fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process, the transmitter consumes 117 mW and 89 mW at 40 Gb/s in PAM4 and NRZ at 1.2 V supply. © 2018, Institute of Electronics Engineers of Korea. All rights reserved.
Design and Analysis of a Novel Wall-Climbing Robot Mechanism

A novel wall-climbing robot mechanism designed for anti-hijacking task is presented. This mechanism consists of a negative pressure adhesion module, a vacuum suction module and a planetary-gear train. The design of biped-wheel hybrid locomotion mechanism, with the advantages of wheeled robots and legged robots, allows the robot to move fast and cross over obstacles easily. This design qualifies the robot for the motion of moving straight, turning in plane and crossing between inclined surfaces. Then the kinematics equations are derived and the locomotion modes are analyzed. Many experiments have been implemented and the results prove that the robot has such characteristics as rapid speed, excellent transition ability between inclined surfaces and curved surface adaptability. Therefore, this novel wall-climbing mechanism could be used for the application of inspection, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Reading Pride and Prejudice

In his "Biographical Notice" of Jane Austen, her brother Henry wrote, "She read aloud with very great taste and effect. Her own works, probably, were never heard to so much advantage as from her own mouth; for she partook largely in all the best gifts of the comic muse. "1 Henry was not the only witness to praise Austen's skill as à reader, and her pleasure in reading aloud is hinted at by die numerous descriptions of readings in her novels and letters. When die first copy of Pride and Prejudice arrived from die printer, tiiough they had a guest, die Austens "set fairly at it, and read half die first vol. to her. " Perhaps Jane was reading diat night, for she was certainly happy with the performance. A week later, though, she wrote, "Our second evening's reading to Miss Benn had not pleased me so well, but I believe something must be attributed to my mother's too rapid way of getting on: though she perfectly understands the characters herself, she cannot speak as they ought. "2 A fine reader herself, a frequent one, and one widi decided notions of what constitutes excellence, Austen almost certainly wrote her novels anticipating that they would be read aloud. This paper will examine the ways
Women with breast cancer: Embracing and distancing themselves from the term cancer survivor

The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experiences of women who had been diagnosed with breast cancer, specifically focusing on the meaning they associate with the term cancer survivor. A woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer in North America undoubtedly will encounter the term cancer survivor at some point following her diagnosis. However, few studies have been focused on examining the meaning of this term for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, let alone whether these women embrace the use of this term. The lived experiences of nine women between the ages of 35 to 58 years were examined using in-depth, semi-structured interviews with interpretive phenomenology as a theoretical orientation. Data collection continued until three distinct themes emerged and saturation of data was achieved for each theme. The results of this study are focused on the meanings associated with the term cancer survivor for these women including identification, safety, and behavior change. A continuum model was developed from the data in order to illustrate the complexity of this subject matter. A person's position along the continuum depends on the meanings that person associates with the term cancer survivor ( identification, safety, or behavior change ) and that person's feelings, either positive or negative, towards those meanings. As such, this continuum demonstrates how a woman can embrace certain aspects of the term cancer survivor and distance herself from other aspects. These findings will benefit clinicians because attaining a rich description of a woman's lived experience with breast cancer will help them to understand and address psychosocial issues that arise throughout the breast cancer journey.
Insight from ozone and water vapour on transport in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL)

Abstract. We explore the potential of ozone observations to constrain transport processes in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), and contrast it with insights that can be obtained from water vapour. Global fields from Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) and in-situ observations are predicted using a backtrajectory approach that captures advection, instantaneous freeze-drying and photolytical ozone production. Two different representations of transport (kinematic and diabatic 3-month backtrajectories based on ERA-Interim data) are used to evaluate the sensitivity to differences in transport. Results show that mean profiles and seasonality of both tracers can be reasonably reconstructed. Water vapour predictions are similar for both transport representations, but predictions for ozone are systematically higher for kinematic transport. Compared to global HALOE observations, the diabatic model prediction underestimates the vertical ozone gradient. Comparison of the kinematic prediction with observations obtained during the tropical SCOUT-O3 campaign shows a large high bias above 390 K potential temperature. We show that ozone predictions and vertical dispersion of the trajectories are highly correlated, rendering ozone an interesting tracer for aspects of transport to which water vapour is not sensitive. We show that dispersion and mean upwelling have similar effects on ozone profiles, with slower upwelling and larger dispersion both leading to higher ozone concentrations. Analyses of tropical upwelling based on mean transport characteristics, and model validation have to take into account this ambiguity between tropical ozone production and in-mixing from the stratosphere. In turn, ozone provides constraints on transport in the TTL and lower stratosphere that cannot be obtained from water vapour.
