University motto is the "representative business card" of a university with reflection school spirit, campus culture, value and tradition. This paper aimed to analyze Chinese-English translation methods mottos famous Chinese “985” “211” universities from perspective Skopos by collecting their English respectively issued on official websites. It has been found that such as literal translation, f...

To address complexity of modeling the world’s processes, over the years in different scientific disciplines separation assumptions have been made to isolate parts of processes, and in some disciplines they have turned out quite useful. It can be questioned whether such assumptions are adequate to address complexity of integrated human mental and social processes and their interactions. In this ...

Automatic detection of translation errors represents one of the more promising applications of NLP techniques to this domain. This paper concentrates on one class of error, the inadvertent omission. To a greater extent than ‘false friends’, terminological inconsistency, etc., the detection of omissions raises problems both theoretical and practical in nature. These problems are discussed, and a...

Previous studies suggest that people holding protected values show a bias against harmful acts as opposed to harmful omissions (omission bias). Protected values (PVs) have been seen as grounded in deontological moral rules to avoid causing harm. The present study 1) investigated the relationship between PVs and acts of commission versus omission in risky choices, using a paradigm where act and ...

This article describes an integrated design of Computer Supported Learning Environments (CSLE) and Workflow Management Systems (WfMS). Fundamental approaches for the integration are pointed out by extending the traditional Build-time modeling perspectives of WfMS. The use of an integrated environment and its synergy effects result in a substantial improvement of the educational level, the day-t...

The concept of “curved perspective” has been used by artists such as M.C. Escher in order effectively convey a sense of three dimensional space while being restricted to a two dimensional canvas. We present an interactive system to create and manipulate projections with a curvilinear perspective. Our system presents the user with a set of intuitive screen-space perspective primitives that contr...
