rhetorical figures, which are frequently applied in advertisements, can add literary flavor to the texts, gratify audiences’ aesthetic needs, and deepen their impression. in advertisement translation, it is very common that the rhetorical figures applied in the original text are replaced with new ones in the translation. this research focuses on rhetorical figures’ function of enhancing audienc...

A 60-year-old male presented with dyspnea and chest pain. He was referred with massive bulky mass. A mass in the left lung was observed using chest X-ray (Figures 1).  A computed tomography scan of the chest showed a mass on the left lung with complete lung collapse Figures 2 (A, B). The needle biopsy was performed and the case was diagnosed with solitary fibro...

The vas t majority of crimes commit ted against city, suburban, and rural residents in 1983 occurred in the general a r e a where the victims lived. Xowever, suburban dwellers were more likely t o be victims of cr imes of violence within the ci ty limits of the cen t ra l c i t ies of their metropolitan areas (12%) than were ci ty dwellers t o become victims in the suburban a reas surrounding t...

The processing of Navon figures (Navon, 1977), i.e., hierarchical letter stimuli, has been studied in experimental settings for many years. In particular, they have been studied in the context of visual hemifield studies and yielded an interaction between hemifield and whether a target is at the local or global level, with a right hemisphere advantage for the global level, and a left hemisphere...

Results A significant drop in ankle pressure of 5.02 mmHg occurred between 5 and 10 minutes (p<0.05) however no significant change occurred between 10 and 15 minutes (mean change 0.15 mmHg, p=0.99). Presence of diabetes was associated with a smaller drop between 5 and 15 minutes (mean change 1.85 mmHg) and predicted 14% of the variance in change in ankle pressure (beta=-3.72, p>0.05). Test-rete...

Let F be a number field with discriminant ∆F . Denote its (normalized) absolute values by SF , and write SF = Sfin · ∪ S∞, where S∞ denotes the collection of all archimedean valuations. For simplicity, we use v (resp. σ) to denote elements in Sfin (resp. S∞). Denote by A = AF the ring of adeles of F , by Glr(A) the rank r general linear group over A, and write A := Afin ⊕A∞ and GLr(A) := GLr(A)...

This paper introduces a novel way to perform dynamic regularisation of outline fonts. In the proposed font representation, the characters are decomposed into the components glyph, contour, knot, and number. These components are scaled and mostly rounded before they are assembled.Togetherwith adroitly-definedBézier curves, this implies regularisation of the outlines without explicit grid-fitting...

In this 2006 John Dewey Society Invited Address, I place Dewey in a larger philosophical and historical context. My hope is that by doing so we can learn more about the future prospects for the role of philosophy of education. I see Dewey as one of those rare canonical philosophers whose reputation as a philosopher is intricately tied to their writings on education and I want to explore why thi...
