construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Group Construction of Covering Arrays

A covering array t-CAðn; k; gÞ is a k n array on a set of g symbols with the property that in each t n subarray, every t 1 column appears at least once. This paper improves many of the best known upper bounds on n for covering arrays, 2-CAðn; k; gÞ with gþ 1 k 2g, for g 1⁄4 3 12 by a construction which in many of these cases produces a 2-CAðn; k; gÞ with n 1⁄4 kðg 1Þ þ 1. The construction is an...

Network Construction by Group Representations

Simple graphs having the property that every limited size subset of vertices has many outside neighbours are called expanders. These have many applications in the construction of communication networks and in other branches of theoretical computer science. A brief survey on existing constructions of such graphs is given. The expansion property of a simple graph can be characterized in terms of ...

The Loop Group and the Cobar Construction

We prove that for any 1-reduced simplicial set X, Adams’ cobar construction ΩCX on the normalised chain complex of X is naturally a strong deformation retract of the normalised chains CGX on the Kan loop group GX. In order to prove this result, we extend the definition of the cobar construction and actually obtain the existence of such a strong deformation retract for all 0-reduced simplicial s...
