    Scientific biography in the history of chemistry: The role of Dexter and Delstein Award winners in the last fifty years

    No full text
    The author examines different genres of scientific biog.: the inevitable process by which biog. brings together the lives of the biog. subject, the author, and the reader; and the diversity of audiences for which biogs. may aim. In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Dexter and Edelstein Awards for Outstanding Achievement in the History of Chem., the article provides emphasis on the role that biog. has played in the history of chem., esp. as practiced by the chemists and historians who have received the Dexter and Edelstein prizes

    No full text
    This is a letter from an unknown Union soldier to an unknown recipient. It is possible that the author is Dexter Denio. The writer mostly talks about his experiences with the rebels. They are well fed and talk of murder and thievery. When his company won a recent fight, they all had a large amount of the rebel's livestock to choose from for their dinners. The author also shows his strong loyalty and patriotism to the North's cause

    Stylistic Occurences in Jeff Lindsay's Work 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter'

    Darba autore pēta stilistikas parādības Džefa Lindsija grāmatā „Melno sapņu Deksters” („Darkly Dreaming Dexeter”). Daiļliteratūras tulkošana ir viena no inetresantākajām, bet arī sarežģītākajām tulkošanas jomām, jo, tulkojot daiļliteratūru, tulkotājam jāspēj atveidot ne tikai teksta pamatinformācija, bet arī emocionālās īpašības un mākslinieciskais efekts. Daiļliteratūras tulkotājam savā ziņā jābūt rakstniekam, jo viņa darbā nepieciešams tieši tikpat daudz iedvesmas, atjautības un talanta. Daiļliteratūras stilu visspilgtāk raksturo izmantotās stilistikas parādības. Autores maģistra darba mērķis ir identificēt stilistikas parādības kriminālromānā „Melno sapņu Deksters”, pētīt to funkcijas, kā arī to, vai tulkotājam ir izdevies tās veiksmīgi atveidot latviešu valodā. Darbā izmantota aprakstošā un analītiskā pētīšanas metode. Teorētiskās un praktiskās analīzes rezultātā autors ir apkopojis pētāmajā darbā biežāk izmantotās stilistikas parādības un to atveidojumus mērķa valodā un tādējādi var secināt, ka darbā sastopamas gan fonētiskās, gan leksiskās, gan sintaktiskās stilistikas parādības. Tāpat tiek secināts, ka tulkotājs visos gadījumos nav spējis atrast līdzsvaru starp teksta satura un stilistikas atveidi mērķa valodā. Darba mērķis tika sasniegts un uzdevumi izpildīti. Atslēgas vārdi: stilistika, Melno sapņu Deksters, Džefs Lindsijs, stilistikas parādības, tulkošanas metodes, tulkošanas problēmas.The author of the present master paper studies stylistic occurances in Jeff Lindsay’s book ‘Darkly Dreaming Dexter’. Translation of fiction is both one of the most interesting and one of the most difficult fields of translation because when you are translating fiction you have to not only render the basic information but also the emotional qualities and easthetic effect. In a way a fiction translator must also be a writer because his work needs the same amount of inspiration, wit and talent. Fiction is best characterized by the use of stylistic devices. The goal of this paper is to identify stylistic occurances in the crime novel ‘Darkly Dreaming Dexter’, to study their functions as well as whether or not the translator has managed to successfuly render them in latvian. The methods used in the present paper are descriptive and analytical method. As a result of the theoretical and practical analysis, the author has summarized the most common stylistic devices of the examined work as well as their rendtions in the target language un therefore can conclude that the book contains phonetical, lexical and sintactical stylistic occurances. The author can also conclude that the translator has not managed to find the balance between the rendition of the contents of the text and the stylistics. The goal has been achieved and the enabling objectives have been accomplished. Key words: stylistics, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Jeff Lindsay, stylistic occurances, translation methods, translation problems

    Supplementary files for artice "Suppression of Dexter transfer by covalent encapsulation for efficient matrix-free narrowband deep blue hyperfluorescent OLEDs"Hyperfluorescence shows great promise for the next generation of commercially feasible blue organic light-emitting diodes, for which eliminating the Dexter transfer to terminal emitter triplet states is key to efficiency and stability. Current devices rely on high-gap matrices to prevent Dexter transfer, which unfortunately leads to overly complex devices from a fabrication standpoint. Here we introduce a molecular design where ultranarrowband blue emitters are covalently encapsulated by insulating alkylene straps. Organic light-emitting diodes with simple emissive layers consisting of pristine thermally activated delayed fluorescence hosts doped with encapsulated terminal emitters exhibit negligible external quantum efficiency drops compared with non-doped devices, enabling a maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.5%. To explain the high efficiency in the absence of high-gap matrices, we turn to transient absorption spectroscopy. It is directly observed that Dexter transfer from a pristine thermally activated delayed fluorescence sensitizer host can be substantially reduced by an encapsulated terminal emitter, opening the door to highly efficient ‘matrix-free’ blue hyperfluorescence.© The Author(s) CC BY 4.0</p

    Web 2.0: Hypertext by Any Other Name?

    Web 2.0 is the popular name of a new generation of Web applications, sites and companies that emphasis openness, community and interaction. Examples include technologies such as Blogs and Wikis, and sites such as Flickr. In this paper we compare these next generation tools to the aspirations of the early Hypertext pioneers to see if their aims have finally been realized
