Textually-Mediated Synonymy in English / Arabic Translation
No full textA Master of Arts Thesis in Translation and Interpreting (English/Arabic/English) by Hiba Issa entitled, "Textually-Mediated Synonymy in English / Arabic Translation." Thesis advisor is Dr. Basil Hatim and was submitted in December 2011. Available are both hard and soft copies of the thesis.Translation can be seen as a communicative action built on the support of understanding the pragmatic and semiotic dimensions which envelop all texts. This research aims to provide evidence for the need to have a wider focus on translation between different linguistic codes, based on the analysis of the different features and unique characteristics of each code. To achieve this aim, this research focuses on synonymy in language as one of the problematic areas in translation. Synonymy is tightly bound to culture and a social knowledge of the people using it, and translators need to be aware of this while translating to minimize the loss of accuracy in the final product of their work. To investigate this claim, this research examines the notion of synonymy (English-Arabic) at two levels. The first will discuss context-related synonymy with examples from the Holy Qur'an, while the second will focus on text type-related synonymy based on the argumentative text type. By comparing different translations done for each level, this research will highlight and define the main problems seen in exploiting synonymy in translations that go beyond the linguistic features of any given text.College of Arts and SciencesDepartment of Arabic and Translation StudiesMaster of Arts in English/Arabic/English Translation and Interpreting (MATI

Folklore and Literary Tradition in the Riddles of Basil Levshin
No full textAt the article the prosaic riddles of Basil Levshin, the writer of the second half of the XVIII century, are considered in the context of Russian folklore and literary traditions. Riddles are classified according to their thematic focus, a way to create interpretive field, the subject-object organization. In the process of comparative analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that most of the riddles of the writer characterized by cognitive and heuristic orientation. They reflected both cognitive picture of the world in the representation of contemporary society, and the specifics of the national concept sphere, as well as the submission of the author of the mythological model of the world

Architecture in tension: an examination of the position of the architect in the private and public sectors, focusing on the training and careers of Sir Basil Spence (1907-1976) and Sir Donald Gibson (1908-1991)
No full textIn the early 1900s tensions began to appear within the architectural profession,
as private practitioners struggled to deal with the implications of professional
colleagues moving into public sector employment. Sir Basil Spence and Sir
Donald Gibson began their architectural training in the mid-1920s and, as
tensions between the sectors intensified, Spence entered private practice and
Gibson chose to enter the public sector. Each became an exemplar of his
chosen sector of the profession and yet both have, until recently, escaped
critical attention. The tensions between the public and private sectors of the
profession have been acknowledged within the historiography, but not received
detailed analysis.
This thesis advances the current historiography by presenting an examination
of the division between the sectors, focusing on the relationship between the
RIBA and the public sector union AASTA and assessing the influence of
AASTA on Gibson's Coventry City Architect's Department.
Through an examination of archival material, contemporary published material,
and buildings, this thesis builds on the work of the Sir Basil Spence Archive
Project, adding detailed accounts of his early life, architectural training, and
RIBA presidency, presenting new information and correcting certain aspects of
the accepted historiography. It likewise presents new information on Gibson's
early life and training and his central role in achieving improved status and
representation for the public sector. An analysis of selected projects provides a
comparative study of their contrasting approaches to architecture: the
technically informed, collaborative team-work of Gibson and the individual
artistry of Spence.
Both men played pivotal roles in reforming the RIBA and in changing public and
professional perceptions of the architect, nevertheless, the long lineage and
complex nature of tensions within the profession meant that the public/private
division was never be bridged and issues of status and representation
remained essentially immutable
GOD AND BEINGIN BASIL OF CAESAREA
No full textThe article attempts to deepen our understanding of the problem of God’s essence in Saint Basil. Does Saint Basil identify God with being or does he exclusively wish to prove God’s total incomprehensibility? The author analyzes Saint Basil’s arguments concerning this matter and compares Basil’s statements with those defended by Eunomius with whom Basil polemicized. In defending his own position, Saint Basil defi ned several fundamental points of doctrine
Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Water Use, Crop Coefficients and SIMDualKc Model Implementing in a Semi-arid Climate
No full textThe accurate estimation on crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and crop coefficients is of assistance infield proper irrigation and water management. In present study, experiments were carried through out two years (i.e., 2012 and 2013) to determine water requirements (single and dual crop coefficients of basil) by using a few drainable lysimeters in a semi-arid region in Iran. Three lysimeters were used for grass evapotranspiration while three others were used to estimate bare soil evapotranspiration. Also, basil seeds were planted in six lysimeters and two groups, including group A where plant grew continually until the end of flowering stage, and group B where the plant was harvested three times after it reached a height of 0.25-0.30 m. The average water requirements of basil in two lysimeters including groups A and B were determined to be 636.8and 849mm, respectively. Finally, single and base crop coefficients for lysimeters in group A for the initial development and middle stages of basil growth were determined to be as 0.71, 1.11, 1.39and 0.57, 0.97, 1.26, respectively. Moreover, SIMDualKc, a soil water balance and irrigation scheduling model, was developed by using dual crop coefficient approach for ETc estimation. The model was calibrated and validated by comparing the measured and simulated Dual Kc values for basil for a semi-arid climate. The results indicated with low RMSE and MBE and highR2=0.83,the model was capable of accurate in proper irrigation, planning and scheduling in semi-arid climates

Pilot Aquaponic Growing System of Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) and Basil (Ocimum Basilicum)
No full textAbstractThe aquaponic recirculating systems are integrated systems that combine fish and plant culture. These systems consist of two components: aquaculture and hydroponics components. In these systems the nutrients necessary for plant growth are resulted from the metabolism of food by the fish. This was obtained by recirculation of water, with a pump, from the fish tank to the hydroponic component and back to the fish tank. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Fisheries and Aquaculture of the Faculty of Animal Husbandry of University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest for 6 months. The system developed here, is a 1 m2 area of plant growth and 0.45 m3 of water in aquaculture component. In the hydroponic component river gravel was selected to support the plants and offer support for the growth and developing of nitrifying bacteria. The species cultivated were cultured carp (Cyprinus carpio) and basil (Ocimum basilicum). On average, there was obtained a quantity of about 1kg basil leaves in a period of 60 days of growth. It has been found that the species of plants grown in this system, namely basil (Ocimum basilicum) grown with carp (Cyprinus carpio), has a faster and better development compared to conventional growth. Use of basil as a purifying plant, resulted in the removal of nitrates, being not necessary to add additional water, as in classical recirculating systems, where is necessary to replace daily approx. 10% of the volume of the culture water being necessary to add into the system only water lost through evaporation. According to the results the basil is suitable for aquaponic system with carp culture. The basil was grown much better than the conventional cultivation
