Corpora research of language transfer

The paper firstly reviews the developments of language transfer research. Utilizing the results supplied by CEM and AntConc, the present writer conducts analyses of the lexicai errors committed by the students in TEM-8 test and reveals the contributions to SLA and EFL language teaching that language transfer may make.

System to Control Upright Posture with Alcoholic Intake

Equilibrium function in the cerebellum （vestibulo-cerebellar system） can deteriorate under the influence of alcohol. In the Romberg posture, the center of gravity, which was measured every 50 ms by stabilometry, appeared to shift with alcohol ingestion. In the previous study, a locus in the center of gravity （stabilogram） was converted to values of statistical indices such as area of sway, total locus length, sparse density, and locus length per unit area, although these indices could not always distinguish between the stabilograms sampled from seven healthy young males in sober and intoxicated states. This measurement was made with an AMTI force plate. In this study, ＂translation error＂ was estimated in a d-dimensional embedding space in order to compare stabilograms recorded before and after the ingestion of doubly diluted brandy in 30 s （1 ≤ d ≤ 10）. The authors succeeded in validating stochastic differential equations as a mathematical model of the body sway. Although the postural control system shows different patterns in the lateral and anterior-posterior directions, the randomness in the model was preserved after alcohol intake and significantly increased in the medial/lateral direction. Visual information referred by the postural conlrol system when standing might be interfered by the effects of intoxication, which was regarded as disturbance. The possibility of detecting alcohol-ingestion-induced reduction of the equilibrium function and its recovery process are also suggested in this paper. This method is considered to be useful to diagnose the disorders of the vestibulo-cerebellar system.

On C-E Translation of the Web Profilesof Universities from the Perspective of Skopos Theory

The web profile of a university is a fast way for the outside to know about the university,and a gooduniversity web profile and its translation can not only establish a good image for the university,but also atractoutstanding students,knowledgeable scholars and successful entrepreneurs to visit and promote humanities andacademic exchanges.At present,the existing researches mostly focus on the national“985 Project”or"21l Project"universities.But it is believed that it does not represent the overall level of construction of English web profiles inChinese universities.Translation problems are even more common in some ordinary science and technologyuniversities as well as normal universities compared with these well-known universities in China.From theperspective of Skopos theory,this paper takes Chinese and English versions of the web profiles of Chineseuniversities as empirical materials and studies the translation of English websites of universities from the aspects oflinguistics,pragmatics and culture.It is expected that the preliminary exploration will be helpful to solve theproblems in CE translation(Chinese-English translation)of the web profiles of universities and to achieve thepurpose of extermal publicity,communication and cooperation.

Effect of Gaussian Noise Amplitude on Translation Error Estimated Using Double-Wayland Algorithm

The Wayland algorithm has been improved in order to evaluate the degree of visible determinism for dynamical systems that generate time series. The objective of this study is to show that the Double-Wayland algorithm can distinguish between time series generated by a deterministic process and those generated by a stochastic process. The authors conducted numerical analysis of the van der Pol equation and a stochastic differential equation as a deterministic process and a Ganssian stochastic process, respectively. In case of large S/N ratios, the noise term did not affect the translation error derived from time series data, but affected that from the temporal differences of time series. In case of larger noise amplitudes, the translation error from the differences was calculated to be approximately 1 using the Double-Wayland algorithm, and it did not vary in magnitude. Furthermore, the translation error derived from the differenced sequences was considered stable against noise. This novel algorithm was applied to the detection of anomalous signals in some fields of engineering, such as the analysis of railway systems and bio-signals.
