the research attempted to discover the norms of translating taboo words and concepts after the islamic revolution in iran using toury’s (1995) framework for classification of norms. the corpus of the study composed of coelho’s novels between 1990 and 2005 and their persian translations which were prepared and analyzed manually to discover the norms. during both the selection of novels for trans...

Many government responses to the coronavirus-pandemic have been marked by attempts at expertization and scientization. Particularly, politico-epistemological authority is being given behavioural science community consulting government. This article critically scrutinizes this most recent wave of expertization. Taking developments in UK Netherlands as our case-studies, we shed light on disparate...

Many CSPs can be effectively represented and efficiently solved using matrix models, in which the matrices may have symmetry between their rows and/or columns. Eliminating all such symmetry can be very costly as there are in general exponentially many symmetries. Cost-effective methods have been proposed to break much of the symmetry, if not all. In this paper, we continue with this line of res...

We present a comprehensive study of the use of value precedence constraints to break value symmetry. We first give a simple encoding of value precedence into ternary constraints that is both efficient and effective at breaking symmetry. We then extend value precedence to deal with a number of generalizations like wreath value and partial interchangeability. We also show that value precedence is...

Covering arrays have been studied for their applications to drug screening and software and hardware testing. In this paper, we model the problem as a constraint program. Our proposed models exploit non-binary (global) constraints, redundant modelling, channelling constraints, and symmetry breaking constraints. Our initial experiments show that with our best integrated model, we are able to eit...

pollution of water and soils by heavy metals is an emerging problem in industrialized countries.the present study was conducted to investigate the heavy metals concentration in water and sedimentsamples from ship breaking sites of sitakunda to assess the potential ecological risk posed by heavy metalusing different methods. heavy metals concentration was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrosco...
