This conceptual article explores and articulates the theoretical bases of (corporate) brand heritage design. It is conceptualised as multifaceted actualisation a brand’s quality omni-temporality purposive-instrumental creative act translating it into material ideational manifestations. These intended manifestations are said to imbue with an “aura heritage” affording specific “heritage atmospher...

This paper revises the implementation of functional typology by Christiane Nord in translation and localization corporate newsletters from English (Great Britain, EN-GB) to Spanish (Spain, ES-ES). defines following text functions: referential, expressive, appellative phatic. At same time, she distinguishes between documental instrumental (equifunctional or heterofunctional) texts their respecti...

We examine statistical models, including the workhorse linear instrumental variables model, in which the mapping from the reduced form distribution to the structural parameters of interest is singular. The singularity of this mapping implies certain fundamental restrictions on the finite sample properties of point estimators: they cannot be unbiased, quantile-unbiased, or translation equivarian...

Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDKs; EC 2.7.4.6) play an essential role in the synthesis of nucleotides from intermediates in the salvage pathway in all parasitic trypanosomatids and their structural studies will be instrumental in shedding light on the biochemical machinery involved in the parasite life cycle and host-parasite interactions. In this work, NDKb from Leishmania major was overexp...
