Strategies of rendering difficult syntactic structures in English-Arabic simultaneous interpreting by Abdulameer, Muhannad Hadi Abdulameer

“…When conducted between linguistically different language pairs, simultaneous interpreting encapsulates difficulties when choosing the strategies to be used with certain syntactic structures. The present study is a corpus-based study which examines how simultaneous interpreters employ certain interpreting strategies rather than others when rendering noun phrases and numbers in English-Arabic simultaneous interpreting. …”

A Listeria monocytogenes aptasensor on laser inscribed graphene for food safety monitoring in hydroponic water by Cavallaro, Nicholas, Moreira, Geisianny, Vanegas, Diana, Xiang, Dong, Datta, Shoumen P. A., Gomes, Carmen, McLamore, Eric S.

“…In this manuscript, we have demonstrated the feasibility of a multi-aptamer approach for development of label-free aptasensors targeting L. monocytogenes in irrigation water for lettuce hydroponic production. We use screening studies with surface plasmon resonance to rationally develop mixtures of relevant aptamers for targeting L. monocytogenes. …”

Timber-framed building damage from tephra fall and lahar : 2015 Calbuco eruption, Chile by Hayes, Josh L., Calderón B., Rodrigo, Deligne, Natalia I., Jenkins, Susanna F., Leonard, Graham S., McSporran, Ame M., Williams, George Thomas, Wilson, Thomas M.

“…Property assessments typically contained observations and classification of damage to a house, and in some instances accessory buildings such as sheds, garages, and exterior storage rooms. In this study we used this unique damage data set to adapt damage state frameworks for tephra fall and lahar for classifying and analysing damage observations. …”

Supply chain resilience for global operations (2) : a re-evaluation of performance benchmarking (information sharing) by Tan, Tricia Zann Yinn

“…For instance, managers from the sharing end might find it difficult to determine the quantity or type of information to share, while on the receiving end, managers might ponder about the reliability and usefulness of that same information shared. As such, this study utilises the concept of benchmarking – a traditional methodology that enables organisations to pinpoint the best practices and help boost performance. …”
