Cognitive Effort and Efficiency in Translation Revision
2019
Empirical studies of revision are often based on either think aloud protocols, interviews, or observational methods. Eye tracking and keylogging methods are rarely applied to the study of revision behavior. The authors employ established methods from translation process research (TPR) to study the eye movement and typing behavior during self-revision (i.e., the phase in the translation process that follows a first complete draft). The authors measure the effect of behavior during the drafting phase on the relative revision duration. Relative revision duration is the time translators spend revising the first complete draft of the source text. They find that the most efficient process involve…
The Argument Dependency Model
2015
This chapter summarizes the architecture of the extended Argument Dependency Model (eADM), a model of language comprehension that aspires toward neurobiological plausibility. It combines design principles from neurobiology with insights on cross-linguistic diversity. Like other current models, the eADM posits that auditory language processing proceeds along two distinct streams in the brain emanating from auditory cortex: the antero-ventral and postero-dorsal streams. Both streams are organized hierarchically and information processing takes place in a cascaded fashion. Each stream has functionally unified computational properties congruent with its role in primate audition. While the dorsa…
Integrable systems, Frobenius manifolds and cohomological field theories
2022
In this dissertation, we study the underlying geometry of integrable systems, in particular tausymmetric bi-Hamiltonian hierarchies of evolutionary PDEs and differential-difference equations.First, we explore the close connection between the realms of integrable systems and algebraic geometry by giving a new proof of the Witten conjecture, which constructs the string taufunction of the Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy via intersection theory of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points. This novel proof is based on the geometry of double ramification cycles, tautological classes whose behavior under pullbacks of the forgetful and gluing maps facilitate the computation of intersection…
Geometry/Time Measurement/Sundials Graphical Resolution via Algorithmic and Parametric Processes
2018
Every people, in every historical period, developed methods to measure Time both at a daily scale and at a yearly scale. Some of them constructed sundials to represent the apparent trajectory of the Sun around the Earth, by using and developing tools from descriptive and projective Geometry, mainly. This subject acquired a great multidisciplinary interest since ancient times, also for Science of Representation applications. This study presents the first results of an ongoing research concerning some aspects related to Time Measurement. The geometric-spatial setting of the Sun-Earth system is described and is structured parametrically via algorithms, following the known conventions shared an…
Colonization pattern of primary tomato roots by Pseudomonas fluorescens A6RI characterized by dilution plating, flow cytometry, fluorescence, confoca…
2004
Early colonization of primary tomato roots, grown in vitro, by Pseudomonas fluorescens A6RI, introduced by seed bacterization, was monitored for 7 days in three different root zones (zone A, apex+elongation+young hairy zone; zone B, hairy zone; zone C, old hairy zone+collar). Bacterial quantification was assessed by enumeration of (i) colony forming units (cfu) after dilution plating and of (ii) total bacterial cells by flow cytometry. Bacterial distribution and organization in the root zones were analyzed by fluorescence, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. For all sampling dates and zones, the densities of total bacterial cells were significantly higher than those of the cfu. The k…
Groups whose subgroups satisfy the weak subnormalizer condition
2019
A subgroup X of a group G is said to satisfy the weak subnormalizer condition if $$N_G(Y)\le N_G(X)$$ for each non-normal subgroup Y of G such that $$X\le Y\le N_G(X)$$ . The behaviour of generalized soluble groups whose (cyclic) subgroups satisfy the weak subnormalizer condition is investigated.
Baer cones in finite projective spaces
1987
Let R and V be two skew subspaces with dimensions r and v of P=PG(d,q). If q is a square, then there is a Baer subspace V* of V, i.e. a subspace of dimension v and order √q. We call the set C(R,V*)=\(\mathop \cup \limits_p \), where the union is taken over all PeV*, aBaer cone oftype (r,v).
An optimal bound for embedding linear spaces into projective planes
1988
Abstract Linear spaces with υ >n 2 − 1 2 n + 1 points, b⩽n2 + n + 1 lines and not constant point degree are classified. It turns out that there is essentially one class of such linear spaces which are not near pencils and which can not be embedded into any projective plane of order n.
A simple algorithm to evaluate the local symmetry at each point of a closed contour
1995
In this work, contour symmetry is evaluated as a numeric feature for each point of the shape outline, using only the positions of a local vicinity of points. A measure is defined, named Local Symmetric Deficiency (LSD), so that the lower this quantity is, the higher the symmetry will be in the local region considered. This approach is simpler than related previous ones both from a conceptual point of view and for its implementation, since it is reduced just to a suitable manipulation of the Freeman chain code of the curve studied. Its computational cost is very low and it has the advantages of a parallel algorithm, since values for LSD can be computed for each point independently.
Vertices for characters of $p$-solvable groups
2002
Suppose that G is a finite p-solvable group. We associate to every irreducible complex character X ∈ Irr(G) of G a canonical pair (Q, δ), where Q is a p-subgroup of G and δ ∈ Irr(Q), uniquely determined by X up to G-conjugacy. This pair behaves as a Green vertex and partitions Irr(G) into families of characters. Using the pair (Q, δ), we give a canonical choice of a certain p-radical subgroup R of G and a character η ∈ Irr(R) associated to X which was predicted by some conjecture of G. R. Robinson.
