This article is concerned with a special case of translation, namely the registerial transformation specialized LSP discourse into lay-oriented texts. type rewriting intralingual mostly, but may also occur in combination an interlingual element. Since previous research has mainly been one specific genre (Patient Information Leaflets as products rewriting), present study investigates and compare...

Descriptions and Rules are diierent, complementary, essential forms of knowledge. Descriptions are analytic and closed; rules are contingent and open. The two forms can be integrated either by compiling one form within the other, or by constructing a hybrid framework. The hybrid solution keeps the modular independent status of each approach, but needs an underlying integration framework, in whi...

We consider the problem of undirected polymers (tied at endpoints) in random environment, also known as unoriented first passage percolation on hypercube, limit large dimensions. By means multiscale refinement second moment method we obtain a fairly precise geometrical description optimal paths, i.e. with minimal energy. The picture which emerges can be loosely summarized follows. energy polyme...

Our digital age is characterized by both a generalized access to data and an increased call for participation of the public other stakeholders communities in policy design decision-making. This context raises new challenges political decision-makers analysts providing these actors with means moral duties decision support, including area environmental policy. The concept “policy analytics” was i...

Action selection, planning and execution are continuous processes that evolve over time, responding to perceptual feedback as well as evolving top-down constraints. Existing models of routine sequential action (e.g. coffee- or pancake-making) generally fall into one of two classes: hierarchical models that include hand-built task representations, or heterarchical models that must learn to repre...

Like humans, monkeys make saccades nearly three times a second. To understand the factors guiding this frequent decision, computational models of vision attempt to predict fixation locations using bottom-up visual features and top-down goals. How do the relative influences of these factors evolve over multiple time scales? Here we analyzed visual features at fixations using a retinal transform ...

Sex and gender are important determinants of healthcare that need to be taken into account for medical teaching. Education is more effective if tailored students’ subjectively-perceived needs connected their prior knowledge opinions. This study explored first-year students thoughts about sex differences in general specifically healthcare, what educational preferences learning these concepts dur...

Rebound effects have been historically studied through narrow framings which may overlook the complexity of sustainability challenges, sometimes leading to badly informed conclusions and policy recommendations. Here we present a critical literature review rebound in context science order (1) map existing research goes beyond mainstream approaches, (2) unveil classify current knowledge gaps rela...

BACKGROUND Primary care revival in Canada and elsewhere is viewed by many as conditional to the introduction of new organizational models. Endorsement by GPs is a key factor in the success of these models, and increasing GPs' job satisfaction is often one of the desired outcomes of the reforms currently underway. OBJECTIVES The phenomenon of work satisfaction from the GP's perspective is not ...

Focusing on the manipulation tasks to be executed by humanoid robots, principal requirements which are to be satisfied by hardware/software of the control system are considered. In order to meet the requirements, a novel type of hardware structure and software architecture is proposed in this paper. Since the target humanoid robot consists of multiple subsystems such as a central controller for...
