The present study concerns editing of translations in Iran during the Iran-Iraq War,which in the official discourse of the country is known as the Sacred Defense. Itargues that editing, in its local sense, advocated a linguistic purism inspired by aredefined nationalism, which went hand in hand with identity politics andsnowballed into a movement of resistance.

With the increasing demand for fast and accurate audiovisual translation, subtitlers are starting to consider the use of translation technologies to support their work. An important issue that arises from the use of such technologies is measuring how much effort needs to be put in by the subtitler in post-editing (semi-)automatic translations. In this paper we present an objective way of measur...

A number of informal terms (e.g., Anthropocene, Anthropozoic, Psychozoic, Noozoic, and Technogene) have been used to designate the rock unit and time interval where the impact of collective human action on the Earth system is clearly recognizable (called here the Humanized Earth System or HES). Presently, Anthropocene is the most commonly used, and the International Commission on Stratigraphy i...

We describe an approach to suppress bleeding artifacts without altering the boundary location in gradient-domain compositing, a technique to create seamless composites. While gradient-domain compositing has become a standard tool for many complex image editing tasks such as seamless cloning, panorama stitching or scene completion, its quality suffers from mismatches in the composited image regi...

Title of dissertation: Compilation and Binary Editing for Performance and Security Tugrul Ince, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor Je rey K. Hollingsworth Department of Computer Science Traditionally, execution of a program follows a straight and in exible path starting from source code, extending through a compiled executable le on disk, and culminating in an execut...

Cellular memory - conversion of a transient signal into a sustained response - is a common feature of biological systems. Synthetic biologists aim to understand and re-engineer such systems in a reliable and predictable manner. Synthetic memory circuits have been designed and built in vitro and in vivo based on diverse mechanisms, such as oligonucleotide hybridization, recombination, transcript...

Machine-translated segments are increasingly included as fuzzy matches within the translation-memory systems in the localisation workflow. This study presents preliminary results on the correlation between these two types of segments in terms of productivity and final quality. In order to test these variables, we set up an experiment with a group of eight professional translators using an on-li...

We present a CGM/BSP algorithm for computing an alignment (or string editing) between two strings A and C, with jAj = m and jCj = n. The algorithm requires O(p) communication rounds and O( p ) local computing time, on a distributed memory parallel computer of p processors each with O(nm=p) memory. We also present implementation results obtained on Beowulf machine with 64 nodes. Topic of interes...

This paper presents data structures that enable interactive editing of large-scale level-set surface models. The new approach utilizes spatial hashing to store a narrow band of voxels around the levelset interface, as well as a k-d tree to hold the model’s display points that lie on the surface itself. This sparse representation of voxels and surface points lets us create and modify high resolu...
