As languages around the world are shaped based in culture and geography, a translation is also based in the place and people the TT is from. Language and translation influence each other through time and space. Translation is an activity that allows human knowledge to be shared and preserved and thanks to the computers and the internet, it can be spread through all around the world. Translation is also a highly technical activity, there are several techniques (Borrowing, Calque, Literal…

The research methodology involves the manipulation of findings and observation in order to explain a phenomenon. Quantitative research methodology is used in a variety of natural and social sciences including physics, biology, sociology, and geology. According to Cohen (1980), quantitative research is a social research that includes empirical methods as well as empirical statements. Cohen has described empirical statement as a descriptive statement that is about the case of the real world.…

Question 3 “In 1985…Black & Decker…had disjointed international product lines and policies, dissatisfied customers, and a tarnished reputation” (Cummings & Worley, 2008, p. 739). Nolan Archibald, Chief Executive Officer at this time, vowed to make significant changes to his organization. In the following years a worldwide market was created, the numbers of current product models were drastically reduced, and top managers were hired for new product development. Archibald’s dedication to the…

Water is an important resource needed for our subsistence & is required on a global level. The various hydrologic cycles are necessary in order to preserve the balance of our ecosystem. Thus, good quality water is necessary for our survival. Chemical & biological composition are two criteria for evaluating water quality. Water hardness can be defined by the presence of divalent cations dissolved in a water sample. The divalent cations usually present are Ca2+ & Mg2+ and these cations bestow…

With natural selection its major driving mechanism, evolution is the change over time in the makeup of genetics of a population. Supported by evidence from many scientific methods, Charles Darwin, in On the Origin of Species, asserts that inheritable variations occur in individuals in a population. In the process known as natural selection, due to competition for limited resources, individuals with more favorable characteristics or phenotypes are more likely to survive and better reproduce,…

The region is tectonically characterized by the ~6 kilometer thick oceanic Nazca plate subducting underneath the continental South American plate at a convergence azimuth of ~ 78 ͦ and at a rate of 6.6 centimeters per year making the area one of the most active convergent margins on earth, typically experiencing a Mw > 8 earthquake every 10 – 20 years (Moscoso, et.al., 2011). Notable quakes in recent history include the 1960 Mw = 9.5 Valdivia earthquake which was the largest ever recorded,…

It is interpreted to extend southwards into the United States below the Williston basin and extends northeast into Nunavut and northern Quebec wrapping around the Archean Superior craton (Ansdell, 2005). The THO is the end result of the closure of the Manikewan Ocean (Stauffer, 1984) which resulted in the formation juvenile crust which was eventually accreted onto the Archean Superior and Hearne cratons as well as a number of smaller cratons including the Sask Craton (Lewry et al.,1994). The…

Abstract Porphyry copper deposits are important for economic value and resources. Some of the common metals found in porphyry copper deposits are gold, silver, and molybdenite. Most porphyry copper deposits can be found along the Pacific Rim and formed during the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. Porphyry copper deposits form through a series of subducting tectonic events, having a copper bearing source, and convection of hydrothermal fluids acting on an igneous intrusion. Introduction…

as hard. The civil engineering industry remains one of the most male dominated sectors and women are under-represented. Much of the current literature describes the difficulties experienced by women who work in this sector including cultural and structural barriers, such as harassment and discrimination, limited networking opportunities and long and inflexible working hours which often result in poor career prospects and high levels of stress for women. This paper is a platform for the…
