Abstract This study focused mainly on the shifts of the grammatical cohesion in texts translated from English into Persian. It aimed to identify the grammatical cohesive devices (GCDs) in ST and TT separately, based on Halliday and Hassn's Model (1976), determine the number of occurrences of GCDs in two texts and finally, illustrate types of shifts of grammatical cohesion and strategies used in...

A pancreatoduodenectomy involves the removal of a tumor from the head of the pancreas. It is a technically difficult procedure requiring experienced anesthesia and surgical teams. The addition of a portal vein reconstruction increases the complexity of the case. A pancreatoduodenectomy is rarely performed on pediatric patients. Although reports of pediatric pancreatoduodenectomies exist in the ...

UNLABELLED Acetated Ringer's solution is a slightly hypotonic infusion fluid (osmolality 270 mosmol/kg) that has inspired the belief that the fluid causes a shift of water volume to the intracellular space. We assessed the role of the kidney in modifying this volume shift by infusing 25 mL/kg of Ringer's acetate solution (mean, 1565 mL) over a time period of 15, 30, 45, and 80 min on different ...

Recent advances in Reinforcement Learning (RL) combined with Deep (DL) have demonstrated impressive performance complex tasks, including autonomous driving. The use of RL agents driving leads to a smooth human-like experience, but the limited interpretability (DRL) creates verification and certification bottleneck. Instead relying on learn we propose HPRL - Hierarchical Program-triggered Learni...

Global and local bifurcations are extremely important since they govern the transitions between different qualitative regimes in dynamical systems. These transitions or tipping points, which are ubiquitous in nature, can be smooth or catastrophic. Smooth transitions involve a continuous change in the steady state of the system until the bifurcation value is crossed, giving place to a second-ord...

Introduction The TrueFISP sequence as proposed by Oppelt et. al. in 1986 (1) offers a high contrast between myocardium and intraventricular cavity, which is desirable for accurate assessment of ventricular function. A significant drawback of TrueFISP is its sensitivity to offresonance effects caused by an imperfect shim, chemical shifts, eddy currents, and Maxwell effects. An extension of the 2...

Two-speed or multiple-speed automatic transmissions can obviously improve the overall manipulating performance in terms of shifting quality and energy efficiency when equipped electric vehicles (EVs). This study details design a two-speed clutch-less transmission (2AT) for EVs motor controlled mechanism. Firstly, novel clutch is devised with motor-controlled mechanism, which enables shift motio...

The present study aimed at finding Catford‟s category shifts applied in the Persian translation of Charles Dickens‟ novel Great Expectations to determine the most frequently used category shift and to check whether there is a significant difference between category shifts in the translation. To this end, 200 simple declarative sentences from the first 20 chapters...
