investigating the integration of translation technologies into translation programs in iranian universities: basis for a syllabus design in translation technology

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...

2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows

The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...

Catastrophic events in New Zealand coastal environments

Catastrophic events recorded in selected coastal wetlands of New Zealand are reported. These date back over 6000 years, but become more well-defined in the past Millennium. Comparison between the historic and palaeoenvironmental record indicates that a reliance on the former does not include several significant nationwide events. By highlighting the details and effects of several locally genera...

Passive Scalars in Stratified Turbulence

The statistics of a passive scalar in randomly forced and strongly stratified turbulence is investigated by numerical simulations including a horizontal passive scalar mean gradient. We observe that horizontal isotropy of the passive scalar spectrum is satisfied in the inertial range. The spectrum has the form Eθ(kh) = Cθεθε −1/3 K k −5/3 h , where εθ, εK are the dissipation of scalar variance ...
