Why Is Stainless Steel So Eco Friendly (06/01/2010)
(...) It ages gracefully and is easy to use for hygienic conditions, which makes stainless steel the first choice for hospitals and food processing plants. It requires little maintenance and does not need harsh cleaners to disinfect the surface.
This means fewer chemicals are given the chance to off-gas and cause indoor air pollution, and fewer chemicals are dumped down the drain, which impacts the drinking water supply. (...)
Preclinical imaging: The use of preclinical MRI for characterization of disease progression and response to therapy (05/29/2010)
(...) These magnetic fields cause paramagnetic atoms such as hydrogen, gadolinium, and manganese to align themselves in a magnetic dipole along the magnetic fields, created by the radiofrequency (RF) coils inside the MRI machine. What the machine captures from the subject is the relaxation of the atoms as they return to their normal alignment when the RF pulse is temporarily ceased. With this data, a computer will generate an image of the subject based on the resonance characteristics of different tissue types. (...)
Height and Genetics (05/15/2010)
(...)
So how can a male who is 5'8" have the tt gene and a male who is 5'0" also have the tt gene while there is such a large difference in height? Well, that is just where other factors come in. Some come from genes, such as how fast a person grows or how good of a metabolism system they receive, and some just comes down to how a person eats and how much they excersize. But this means that a 5'8" male may carry the genes to have an off-spring several inches shorter than himself. (...)

The fallacies of focus group research and the Delphi Alternative (04/26/2010)
(...) The other major problem is an even more serious one: by their nature focus groups can tell us nothing useful about the populations they are supposed to represent.
Focus groups are an inefficient way of getting the opinions of ten or so people. Social psychology has shown, in cumulative research over many years, that the performance of individuals in small, untrained groups is much less than optimal. (...)

How to Solve Quadratic Equations (03/26/2010)
(...)
The first method that can be used to solve a quadratic equation is factoring:
The quadratic equation in standard form can be factored into two binomials, that is, two polynomials with two terms. For example, 2x^2 + x - 3 = 0 can be factored into (2x + 3)(x - 1) = 0.
Once this is done, each of these binomials can be solved for x. (...)
The Transformations of Graphs of Functions is Easy (03/26/2010)
(...)
In general, a vertical translation means that every point (x, y) on the graph of y = f(x) is transformed to (x, y + c) on the graph of y = f(x) + c. On the other hand, every point (x, y) on the graph of y = f(x) is transformed to (x, y - c) on the graph of y = f(x) - c.
2. (...)
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TRANSLATION OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS (02/02/2010)
(...) As stated earlier, the translation of scientific texts also contributes in the modernization of our languages. For instance, the translation of an ordinary book of 18th centuries from English into an Indian language may only help in the development of the TL literature, but the translation of a modern scientific text not only enriches the TL but also helps in its modernization.
Before tackling the problems of translating scientific texts, it is necessary to consider the ability levels of the target group which is a decisive factor in the selection of appropriate equivalents such as words, terms, styles, descriptions etc. (...)
NATURE AND CONCEPT OF SCIENTIFIC TEXTS (02/01/2010)
(...) However, both are objective in their presentation of the subject. In other words, the language of scientific texts is more specific making the texts more clear and unambiguous as opposed to the literary text where language is often subjective. A Plant-scientist in his effort to understand the structure of a flower disintegrates it into smaller units. (...)

In many instances, recovered paper accounts for more than half the volume of raw material used in the production of recycled content products. (...)
Controversy of Cloning (03/12/2009)
(...)

Science Update: Stem Cells and Cardiovascular Health (02/07/2009)
(...)
In 2004 Schmidt-Lucke et al measured the number of EPC's in the bloodstream of 120 individuals (43 controls and 77 individuals at risk for cardiovascular problems) and observed these individuals for ten months. At the end of this time, the authors reported that a reduced number of circulating EPC's was linked to a poor cardiovascular health prognosis.
The next year, in a similar but more extensive study, Werner et al measured the number of EPC's in the bloodstream of 19 individuals, and observed these individuals for one year. (...)
Equivalence in Translation Between myth and reality (01/15/2009)
(...) They are inter lingual (between SL &TL), intra lingual (within one language), and inter semiotic (between sign systems). Nida's theory was defined by the writer. Nida defined two types of equivalence. (...)
Equivalence in Translation (01/15/2009)
(...)
To put it in a nutshell, in order to translate correctly and accurately, the translator needs to know the phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, idiomatic and cultural systems of both source language and target language. After knowing this, the translator decodes the SL elements and encodes them in to TL elements. All in all, the main purpose of this article is to define and explain the concept of equivalence. (...)
Problems of dynamic equivalence in translation (01/15/2009)
(...) Eco continues that the equivalence in meaning which is provided by meaning is not accepted since there is no complete synonym in language. Eco exemplified daddy and father as not being the same. In fact, Eco believed that those who are involved in the art and craft of translation are definitely in a better position to formulate theoretical aspects of the subject. (...)
Toward a theory of bias and equivalence (01/15/2009)
(...)
Construct bias is the dissimilarity of construct across cultures. Method bias is a general word that refers to all sources of bias resulting from methodological- procedural aspects of a study. Sample bias is subsuming all differences in scores that are related to specific aspects of a sample. (...)
The concept of equivalence in translation studies (01/15/2009)
(...) The writer continues by explaining different scholars ' points of view toward equivalence like Nida's formal and dynamic equivalence. The writer, then, considered the displacement of equivalence concept by introducing the historical- descriptive approach toward equivalence and translation. This approach emphasizes on the significance of the situation, and more specifically, the culture in which translations are to be situated. (...)
Using machine translation evaluation techniques to determine sentence: level semantic equivalence (01/15/2009)
(...) Finally, it was indicated that it is possible to drive the features that can be used to determine whether similar sentences are paraphrases of each other from methods currently being used to automatically evaluate machine translation systems.
To sum up, this study done in line with sentence equivalence in machine translation. It is based on the similarity between the assessment in machine translation and the task of sentence- level semantic equivalence. (...)
Lexical cohesion and translation equivalence (01/15/2009)
(...) , by examining the semantic relation between lexical cohesion which is related to textual function. Now, the writer wants to define equivalence in terms of texture. Therefore, for the translated text to be equivalent to its SL counterpart in terms of texture, the translator should observe the textual strategies discussed as well as other textual features. (...)
Equivalence revisited: A key concept in modern translation theory (01/15/2009)
(...) Finally, Venuti seems to define the shortcomings of the linguistic- oriented approaches. According to these approaches, translation is theorized on the model of Griceun conversation maxims is which the translator communicates the foreign text by cooperating with the domestic reader. They are quantifying of information, quality or truthfulness in translation, relevance or consistency of the context, and manner or clarity. (...)

Models of translational equivalence among words (01/15/2009)

At the end of the article evaluation with respect to independent human judgment approved that translation models biased in this fashion are significantly more accurate than a base line knowledge free model. Although the methodology and explanation are difficult to understand, the result of the study is understandable. (...)
