Translation studies (TS), as a young (inter)discipline, has partly relied on metadiscussions, critical assessments of its literature, and compilation of bibliographies to deal with certain problems of its youth, such as polarity and fragmentation. While the current status of TS shows general maturity, there are still young areas of inquiry in the discipline that are faced with similar issues. T...

Island Biogeography Theory (IBT; MacArthur and Wilson 1963, 1967) has profoundly infl uenced the study of biogeography, ecol ogy, and even evolution (Janzen 1968, Losos 1996, Heaney 2000), and has also had an enormous impact on conservation biology. The theory has inspired much thinking about the importance of reserve size and connectivity in the maintenance of species diversity, and stimulated...

Fragmentation of metastable anions of all deoxynucleosides and nucleosides constituting DNA and RNA has been studied experimentally and by computer simulations. The ions were formed through deprotonation in matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI). Clear difference in fragmentation patterns was obtained for nucleosides containing purine vs. pyrimidine bases. To elucidate the role of ...

The leading color-singlet contribution to the fragmentation function for a gluon to split into spin-triplet S-wave quarkonium is presented. In the case of charmonium, we find that this color-singlet term is always negligible compared to the leading color-octet contribution. The dominant mechanism for the production of heavy quarkonium at sufficiently large transverse momentum is parton fragment...

This comprehensive review paper examined 20 habitat/fragmentation experiments in terms of common hypothesis regarding the species area relationship, corridors, and density/abundance. Taken as a whole, the experiments had highly inconsistent results; only insects, which have short generation times, generally responded to fragmentation as predicted. The three long-term experiments did support pre...

Distributed Design involves making decisions on the fragmentation and placement of data across the sites of a computer network. The first phase of the Distributed Design in a top-down approach is the fragmentation phase, which clusters in fragments the information accessed simultaneously by applications. Since Distributed Design is a very complex task in the context of the OO data model, we hav...
