The present study is an attempt to examine the procedures used in translating these terms in the English translations of the Holy Qur’an.  As  such,  English  equivalents  of  terms  related  to Practical laws of religion (Furū al-Dīn) in five English versions of the Qur'an are identified and the  tr...

At low pressure, ethylene gas consists of single translating and rotating molecules and behaves as an ideal gas. With decrease of free volume by compression, various rotating supramolecular particles are formed, which require less space for the movement: molecular pairs, bimolecules and oligomolecules. The appearance of a new kind of particles is manifested as a phase transition of the second o...

Computer programs have to “understand” diagrams if diagrams are going to be used for communications with or through the computer, i.e., the computer has to be supplied with a method that translates a diagram into an abstract internal representation for further processing. This paper describes such a method that is based on a specification of the translation process. The translation process star...

This paper discusses the t reatment of fixed word expressions developed for our ITS-2 FrenchEnglish translation system. This t reatment makes a clear distinction between compounds i.e. mult iword expressions of X°-level in which the chunks are adjacent and idiomatic phrases i.e. mult iword expressions of phrasal categories, where the chunks are not necessarily adjacent. In our system, compounds...

Precision medicine is based on a simple precept that deep information about an individual patient can be used to guide his or her healthcare. In the not-too-distant future, clinicians may have point-of-care access to an individual’s entire genome, dense data captured from wearable devices, and informatics tools that aggregate data from clinical experience to allow for real-time decision support...

The importance of physical engagement with the world, through the sen...

Previously Gysen, De Graef, and Verfaillie [Vision Research 42 (2002) 379] showed that, with stimulus displays presenting one stationary and one translating object, sensitivity for intrasaccadic displacements was higher for translating than for stationary objects. In the present paper the importance of the relative encoding of the path of the translating object towards the stationary object is ...
