The Identification of Gundisalvo's Main Contributor

Abstract: The main issue of this article will revolve around the School of Translators of Toledo, one of the first European institutions carrying out translations that could be considered as translations within the Public Services and examples of Community Translation. The main objectives of this project will be to highlight the institution, as well as to carry out an inner investigation for trying to demonstrate the identity of one of the School’s most relevant translators: Gundisalvo’s main contributor, analyzing documents found in the current School’s Library and in the Cathedral Archive of Toledo. Firstly, there will be a brief analysis about the historical development of theSchool ofTranslators. Secondly, the research part about the identity of Gundisalvo’s contributor will be developed and explained, as well as the methodology used for the research and the conclusions obtained. Finally, general conclusions about the whole project will be exposed too.Resumen: El tema principal de este artículo girará en torno a la Escuela de Traductores de Toledo, una de las primeras instituciones europeas en realizar traducciones que podrían ser consideradas como traducciones de de los Servicios Públicos y ejemplos de Traducción Comunitaria.

Global Carbon Budget: Ocean carbon sink.

CO2 emissions from human activities, the main contributor to global climate change, are set to rise again in 2014 reaching 40 billion tonnes CO2 The natural carbon ‘sinks’ on land and in the ocean absorb on average 55% of the total CO2 emissions, thus slowing the rate of global climate change Increasing CO2 in the oceans is causing ocean acidificatio

Application of new measurement techniques and strategies to measure ammonia emissions from agricultural activities

Agriculture is the main contributor to the ammonia emissions in the Netherlands. In order to comply with the ammonia emission reduction assigned to the Netherlands, new techniques have been implemented to reduce the ammonia emissions from animal houses, and after application of slurry into the field

Some neutron and gamma radiation characteristics of plutonium cermet fuel for isotopic power sources

Gamma and neutron measurements on various types of plutonium sources are presented in order to show the effects of O-17, O-18 F-19, Pu-236, age of the fuel, and size of the source on the gamma and neutron spectra. Analysis of the radiation measurements shows that fluorine is the main contributor to the neutron yields from present plutonium-molybdenum cermet fuel, while both fluorine and Pu-236 daughters contribute significantly to the gamma ray intensities

How important is the credit channel? An empirical study of the US banking crisis

We examine whether by adding a credit channel to the standard New Keynesian model we can account better for the behaviour of US macroeconomic data up to and including the banking crisis. We use the method of indirect inference which evaluates statistically how far a model's simulated behaviour mimics the behaviour of the data. We find that the model with credit dominates the standard model by a substantial margin. Credit shocks are the main contributor to the variation in the output gap during the crisis

Earnings Inequality Within and Across Gender, Racial, and Ethnic Groups in Latin America

Latin American countries are generally characterized as displaying high income and earnings inequality overall along with high inequality by gender, race, and ethnicity. However, the latter phenomenon is not a major contributor to the former phenomenon. Using household survey data from four Latin American countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Guatemala, and Guyana), we demonstrate (using Theil index decompositions as well as Gini indices, and 90/10 and 50/10 percentile comparisons) that within-group inequality rather than betweengroup inequality is the main contributor to overall inequality. Mlti-stage simulations in which the relatively disadvantaged gender and/or racial/ethnic group is treated more and more as if it were the relatively advantaged group tend to reduce overall inequality measures only slightly and in some cases have the effect of increasing inequality measures.earnings inequality, income inequality, gender, race, and ethnicity differences

Magnetostriction measurement and the contribution of magnetostriction to the noise of a one-phase transformer

Deformation of magnetised electrical steel samples, known as magnetostriction, is a main contributor to the noise of electrical machines and especially transformers. In this work, the magnetostriction strains of such samples are measured by using a heterodyne laser vibrometer setup. The results are used to model the data and perform a Finite Element (FE) calculation for one-phase transformer test geometry. To validate the FE data, a transformer test model is built with the same geometry as of that of the FE model. A comparison of the FE data with the measured vibrations of the magnetised test transformer will be reported later
