Abbreviations represent a substantial element in the English and Romanian word stock as well as in their shipbuilding terminologies. This paper is an analysis of the English abbreviations and their Romanian versions in an attempt to assess the availability of the latter language to shipbuilding Anglicisms. The research mainly consisted in the creation of a data bank to comprise the abbreviations that occur in English shipbuilding glossaries, dictionaries and lexicons and whose versions were included in similar Romanian lexicographic works. A first step in this project was the determination of the meanings assigned to the notion of abbreviation, which has been described to convey rather controversial meanings in English lexicology. The translational perspective of this approach was constructed on the concepts of foreignization and domestication, advanced by Venuti in the mid 1990’s. Our analysis was designed to highlight the English touch on the vocabulary of the Romanian shipbuilding terminology, at the same time disregarding both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this influence. These aspects were waived because terminologies, like any other compartment of languages, are vivid organisms in a continual strive to develop, enrich and expand.

In 2012, preliminary guidelines were published addressing sample quality, data acquisition and reduction, presentation of scattering data and validation, and modelling for biomolecular small-angle scattering (SAS) experiments. Biomolecular SAS has since continued to grow and authors have increasingly adopted the preliminary guidelines. In parallel, integrative/hybrid determination of biomolecular structures is a rapidly growing field that is expanding the scope of structural biology. For SAS to contribute maximally to this field, it is essential to ensure open access to the information required for evaluation of the quality of SAS samples and data, as well as the validity of SAS-based structural models. To this end, the preliminary guidelines for data presentation in a publication are reviewed and updated, and the deposition of data and associated models in a public archive is recommended. These guidelines and recommendations have been prepared in consultation with the members of the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) Small-Angle Scattering and Journals Commissions, the Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB) Small-Angle Scattering Validation Task Force and additional experts in the field.

The article describes the factors associated with the planning of logistics support for the disposal of household electronic waste. Identifying these factors plays an important role in coordinating to ensure the cost-effectiveness of the costs of recycling e-waste at all stages of the supply chain from the source of waste to where it is accumulated and then recycled. The article describes the importance of such processes as: the development of a method for determining the volume of household electronic waste generated in the administrative-territorial district, the creation of a network of waste collection points, the determination of the amount and throughput of waste collection points, the need to organize garbage collection from the place of collection at the lowest cost. The study was conducted on the basis of an analysis of official statistics from the five most populous cities in Vietnam and thirty regions of Hanoi.

Background: The notion of “just culture” has become a way for hospital administrations to determine employee accountability for medical errors and adverse events. Method: In this paper, we question whether organizational justice can be achieved through algorithmic determination of the intention, volition and repetition of employee actions. Results and conclusion: The analysis in our paper suggests that the construction of evidence and use of power play important roles in the creation of “justice” after iatrogenic harm.

Geometrical restraints provide key structural information for the determination of biomolecular structures at lower resolution by experimental methods such as crystallography or cryo-electron microscopy. In this work, restraint targets for nucleic acids bases are derived from three different sources and compared: small-molecule crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), ultrahigh-resolution structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) and quantum-mechanical (QM) calculations. The best parameters are those based on CSD structures. After over two decades, the standard library of Parkinson et al. [(1996), Acta Cryst. D52, 57–64] is still valid, but improvements are possible with the use of the current CSD database. The CSD-derived geometry is fully compatible with Watson–Crick base pairs, as comparisons with QM results for isolated and paired bases clearly show that the CSD targets closely correspond to proper base pairing. While the QM results are capable of distinguishing between single and paired bases, their level of accuracy is, on average, nearly two times lower than for the CSD-derived targets when gauged by root-mean-square deviations from ultrahigh-resolution structures in the PDB. Nevertheless, the accuracy of QM results appears sufficient to provide stereochemical targets for synthetic base pairs where no reliable experimental structural information is available. To enable future tests for this approach, QM calculations are provided for isocytosine, isoguanine and the iCiG base pair.

12 calibre guns and ammunition can be subjected to forensic examination, often there is a need to determine the distance a shot was fired. The article presented a new way to carry out such studies and focused on visualization and the determination of parameters forming a fired, shot cluster. The examination uses a high-speed camera and software for the analysis of the recorded films. As a result of the research dimensions and speed of the creation of a cluster of fired shot were achieved.

The result of all the work described in the previous chapters will be a set of coordinates and other data suitable for deposit in the Protein Data Bank. You or I may use these coordinates, and we need to have some insight into their accuracy and reliability. In the previous chapters, indicators have been described, which may suggest aspects of the data or interpretation procedures that might lead to problems. But as the determination of protein crystal structures becomes more routine, many of these indicators are omitted from publications. Fortunately, crystallographic procedures are self-checking to a large extent. It is rare for a major error of interpretation to lead right through to a published refined structure. A high Rfree factor is a warning, especially if coupled with departures from the requirements of correct bond lengths, angles, and acceptable dihedral angles. On the other hand, there will always be a desire to squeeze more results from the data. All interpretations are subject to error; nearly all protein crystals have regions that are less ordered, where accurate interpretation is less feasible; and the structure may be overrefined, using too many variables for the data. If the majority of the molecule is correctly interpreted, a reasonable R factor may be obtained even though some small regions are completely wrong. During refinement it is usual to restrain the bond lengths and bond angles to be near their theoretical values, as described in Chapter 12. The extent to which bond lengths and bond angles depart from these values is often quoted as an indicator of accuracy. These departures are, however, difficult to interpret because they depend on how tightly the restraints have been applied. The same applies to the restraint of certain coordinates to lie in a plane. This difficulty illustrates a general problem. Designers of refinement procedures are understandably anxious to improve their procedures to lead directly to a well-refined structure. Every aspect of structure that can be recognized as having a regularity could, in principle, be expressed as a restraint which enforces it during refinement.

The Concentrate Questions and Answers series offers the best preparation for tackling exam questions. Each book includes typical questions, bullet-pointed answer plans and suggested answers, author commentary, and illustrative diagrams and flowcharts. This chapter looks at easements and profits considering in particular: types of easement (eg express and implied easements); the nature of an easement; the creation of easements; and other rights, such as profits à prendre. The question of whether the categories of easement can be extended is a popular debate, and the quotation ‘the categories of easements are not frozen’reflects this. Modern useages may be highly relevant in the determination of this legal question.

The possibilities of creating cluster associations of enterprises in the sub-branches of the Machine Building Industry in the Zaporizhzhia region by determining the clustering potential are considered. The potential of clustering of the engineering industry enterprises of the Zaporizhzhia region was assessed by using the localization coefficients, production per person and specialization of the industries. According to the results of the assessment of the clustering potential of the machine-building industry in Zaporizhzhia there are such five sub-sectors were identified in which the creation of clusters is possible: the production of computers, electronic and optical products, the production of electrical equipment, the production of machinery and equipment that are not assigned to other groupings, the production of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers and other vehicles, the production of furniture and other products; repair and installation of machinery and equipment. It is proved the need to create a еlectric equipment production cluster in Zaporizhzhia region.
