Exploring translation strategies for Chinese dialogue and buzzwords based on 星星上的花（The Flower on the Stars） by Wan, Wenyi

“…I try to deal with these problems in translation practice by combining relevant theoretical knowledge, hoping to provide some reference for subsequent translation. During the translation process, two main problems are found: on the one hand, the problem concerning the grasp of language style and register, and the corresponding problem of how to choose words in the face of diverse texts; on the other hand, the problem of how to translate Chinese buzzwords in English. …”

Seismic performance of corroded reinforced concrete column-slab connections by Sutantyo, Samuel Kurniawan

“…Flat plates, however, do come with some disadvantages of its own. Due to the lack of any shear reinforcement and drop panel, the slab-column connection is susceptible punching failure, especially when the building is also subjected to earthquake loadings. …”

Output feedback control for constrained pure-feedback systems : a non-recursive and transformational observer based approach by Huang, Xiucai, Song, Yongduan, Wen, Changyun

“…In this paper we investigate the control problem of uncertain pure-feedback systems under time-varying output constraints using output information only. By making use of the salient cascade properties of pure-feedback systems as well as a novel scaling function, we convert the constrained system into a normal form without constraints. …”

Brain-controlled games and applications by Chen, Desheng

“…A prototype of the game is developed and its controls are integrated with the Emotiv propriety software, which allows the game to be played with just the headset and no physical inputs. Some test trials are run on the prototype and the results show that the puzzle game can indeed be played with just the Epoc; however, many issues make the game far from easy and enjoyable to play, such as difficulty of control and false positive of inputs even after hours of training. …”
