After a brief description of the state of the art, this paper presents new methods of process-oriented translation training. The different instruments used in class, such as questionnaires and other tools, the learning outcome of these methods and the improvement of proficiency achieved by these means, constitute the core of the paper. The third and final part deals with the preliminary results...

Role theory has proved remarkably promising in examining effectiveness of marketing-oriented boundary spanners. This paper reviews different approaches for examining role theory implications for boundary spanners—namely universalistic and contingency approaches—and develops the configural approach by extending configurational theory principles to role theory. Neither the contingency nor the con...

Since our emerging area article, diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS), which aims to prepare efficiently collections of skeletally diverse small molecules, has developed in the synthetic approaches it employs. This article describes three general strategies, highlighting some successful examples. The utility of DOS, in the interrogation of chemical space and in the identification of novel biologi...

Despite great strides in revealing and understanding the physiological and molecular bases of cardiovascular disease, efforts to translate this understanding into needed therapeutic interventions continue to lag far behind the initial discoveries. Although pharmaceutical companies continue to increase investments into research and development, the number of drugs gaining federal approval is in ...

This paper presents a survey of recent approaches in the application of the object-oriented paradigm to formal specification. The complexity of current information systems demands the use of a higher degree of formalism in the development process. Formal languages such as Z, VDM and Lotos have been used extensively in academic environments and research projects; however, their utilization in th...
