The author tried a new approach based on a Galoisian interpretation of the novel results and concepts of Coven and Meyerowitz [4]. Extending this in a second part to finite fields, he concludes with unexpected results. 1 Rhythmic canons, tiling the ...

The body measurements of 433 young Dorper rams participating in the Free State and Northern Cape veld-ram projects were correlated with their production performance. These measurements included a selection index, body weight (kg), average daily gain (g/day) and scrotal circumference (cm). The performance of the animals in the two projects compared well, although the means in the Free State proj...

The present study sets out to investigate whether the position of literary works in the English literary polysystem influences the Iranian translators’ translational behavior at the textual level.

PURPOSE To determine the testability and lower age limits for applying common eye tests to preschool children. METHODS Investigators from the Sydney Paediatric Eye Disease Study examined 2,461 children aged 6 to 72 months between 2007 and 2009. Cycloplegic autorefraction was measured with Retinomax and Canon autorefractors. Ocular biometry was measured by the use of IOLMaster in children aged...
