Since the 1st century AD the translation of Buddhist in China and from the ancient Greece the translation of Bible, a host of masters have published wisdoms and insights on translation according to their practical experience of translating. Various kinds of translation theory such as Eugene Nada’s functional equivalence theory, skopos theory and so on has come out. But a complete work on the an...

Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) has proven to be a powerful tool for probing molecular structure and dynamics. Deuterium SSNMR is particularly useful due to the presence of anisotropic interactions whose motional averaging contributes structural and dynamical insight. The magnitude and type of molecular motion can be determined from analysis of solid echo deuterium lineshapes and...

Certain microbes can transform antibiotics in the environment. However, little is known about the identity of these microbes and their antibiotic biotransformation processes. The objectives of this study were to (1) isolate bacterial strains capable of transforming antibiotics, (2) determine the biotransformation kinetics of antibiotics, (3) characterize the effects of background carbons on the...

Geodesists are, for the most part, a patient and hardworking lot. A day spent hiking to a distant peak, hours spent waiting for clouds to clear a lineof-sight between observation points, weeks spent moving methodically along a level line – such is the normal pulse of the geodetic profession. The fruits of such labors are all the more precious because they are so scarce. A good day spent with an...

Mitochondria provide us with the energy to get up and do what needs to be done. They do this with 37 genes encoded in their own genome and more than 1,200 genes from the nuclear genome, whose gene products are targeted to mitochondria after being translated on cytosolic ribosomes. This complex intergenomic communication is a hallmark of eukaryotic life and has been under continuous refinement f...

ii To my grandparents, my parents and my friends. You are the wealth of my life. iii The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Henri Poincaré The value of science...

This study aims to determine the pattern of character education for students at Islamic boarding school Hikmatusysyarief NW Salut. research is included in type descriptive qualitative research. The data collection was carried out three ways: observation techniques, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis follows Miles-Huberman stage: reduction, display, drawing conclusions or verification....

of ayurvedic theory. It is interesting to note that even in the past enough emphasis was placed on desirable qualities of medical student. Selection and training had incorporated certain attributes for selecting medical students. Sushruta Samhita gives lucid account of desirable internal characteristics of medical student. Among the most desirable attributes, i.e., humility, honesty, and hardwo...

A remarkable diversity of indicators shows quality of life across nations to be positively associated with per capita income. At the same time, the changes in quality of life as income grows are surprisingly uneven. Either in levels or changes, moreover, the effect of exogenous shifts over time is surprisingly strong compared to growth effects. This paper reaches this conclusion with a panel da...

Will rising income over time for a given country translate into rising quality of life? This paper addresses this question with a panel dataset of 95 indicators covering up to 4 time periods (1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990). The indicators cover 7 subjects: (1) individual rights and democracy, (2) political instability and war, (3) education, (4) health, (5) transport and communications, (6) inequa...
