Proteins that promote angiogenesis, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), are major targets for cancer therapy. Accordingly, proteins that specifically activate expression of factors like VEGF are potential alternative therapeutic targets and may help to combat evasive resistance to angiogenesis inhibitors. VEGF mRNA contains two internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) that enable se...

In current phrase-based SMT systems, more training data is generally better than less. However, a larger data set eventually introduces a larger model that enlarges the search space for the translation problem, and consequently requires more time and more resources to translate. We argue redundant information in a SMT system may not only delay the computations but also affect the quality of the...

Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR), where queries and documents are in different languages, has of late become one of the major topics within the information retrieval community. This paper proposes a Japanese/English CLIR system, where we combine a query translation and retrieval modules. We currently target the retrieval of technical documents, and therefore the performance of our sy...

Rendering the Arabic Qur'anic collocations into English has always been a burdensome and daunting job. It is ever more problematic than rendition of any genre. The recent research caveat-lector attempt that seeks specifically to investigate problematicity translating some selected from linguistic, stylistic, cultural perspectives. findings study show translations flop transfer connotative meani...
