the present article reports a study carried out to investigate whether or not awareness of functional translation theories has any impact on the translation quality of translator trainees. 2oo iranian undergraduate students took part in this study. they were divided into four groups -two- experimental and two control groups. after homogenizing the participants by a toefl test, a translation pre...

We consider the existence of a dynamically stable soliton in the one-dimensional cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger model with strong cubic nonlinearity management for periodic and random modulations. We show that the predictions of the averaged cubic-quintic nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and modified variational approach for the arrest of collapse coincide. The analytical results are c...

We consider two types of strongly localized modes in discrete nonlinear lattices. Taking the lattice nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation as a particular but rather fundamental example, we show that (1) the discreteness effects may be understood in the "standard" discrete NLS model as arising from an effective periodic potential similar to the Peierls-Nabarro (PN) barrier potential for kinks in...
