Optimal Experimental Design for Poisson Impaired Reproduction Studies
… via numeric optimization techniques, Bayesian equivalence theory functions are derived to verify the optimality of these designs. Efficient Bayesian designs which provide for lack-of-fit testing are discussed. Characterizations of D, D<sub>s</sub>, and interaction optimal designs which are …

Legal Translation and Terminology in the Irish Free State, 1922-1937
… and to investigate how modern translation theory – specifically equivalence theory – may be applied to English-Irish legal translation as a whole.<br/><br/>While a semantic study of the English and Irish versions of the amended 1937 Constitution has previously been carried out (Ó Cearúil, …

Optimal experimental designs for two-variable logistic regression models
… logistic regression model. Experimental design theory for the logistic model appears to be increasingly important as experimentation becomes more complex and expensive. The optimal design work is extremely valuable in areas such as biomedical and environmental applications. Most design research …

Experimental design issues in impaired reproduction applications
… methods rather than directly from criteria, equivalence theory is used to prove analytically that the numerically obtained designs are truly optimal. A further complication associated with designing experiments for Poisson regression is the need to know parameter values in order to implement …

Leakage-corrected discontinuity factors for a second-generation Th-Pu pressure-tube SCWR.
… homogenization methods such as Generalized Equivalence Theory (GET). GET improves accuracy by allowing the neutron flux in the node-homogenized model to be discontinuous at node boundaries through the use of discontinuity factors. Node-averaged cross sections and discontinuity factors can be …

Problems and strategies in translating legal texts from arabic to english
… and amplify the importance of achieving equivalence between the source and target languages. The research will tackle linguistic, cultural, and technical aspects of legal translation, addressing issues such as over-translation, gloss translation, punctuation and grammatical mistakes, …

The Induction of Emergent Relations in Children with Severe Cognitive and Language Delays
… relations defined as transitivity by Stimulus Equivalence theory or as combinatorial entailment in Relational Frame Theory. In Experiment I, the participants were 4 children diagnosed with autism who also demonstrated significant cognitive and language delays, who were selected for the …

3D Reactor Physics Modelling Of Reduced-Moderation Water Reactor (RMWR) Fuel
… compared using 172-group cross-sections using 2D equivalence theory in WIMS and with cross-sections that have been condensed to 12-group by the use of 2D transport calculations. Therefore, two sets of cross-sections with P0 scattering for WIMS and both P1 and P0 scattering for MONK were used for …

Action-Inspired Approach to Design of Navigation Techniques for Effective Spatial Learning in 3-D Virtual Environments
… core concept of which is grounded in the motor equivalence theory. We provided two navigation techniques, body-turn based and action-transferred based ones, and demonstrated the benefits of our approach by evaluating these two navigation techniques for spatial knowledge acquisition in several …

Towards establishing the equivalence of the IsiXhosa and English versions of the Woodcok Munoz language survey : an item and construct bias analysis of the verbal analogies scale
… that is concerned with establishing overall equivalence between the two language versions of the WMLS. It was primarily concerned with the Verbal Analogies (VA) scale. Previous research on this scale has demonstrated promising results, but continues to find evidence of some inequivalence. …

Towards establishing the equivalence of the English version of the verbal analogies scale of the Woodcock Munuz Language Survey across English and Xhosa first language speakers
… was interested in investigating the scalar equivalence of the adapted English version of the Verbal Analogies (VA) subscale of the WMLS across English first-language speakers and Xhosa first-language speakers. This was achieved by utilising differential item functioning (DIF) and construct …
