EXTRACT: Extracting Terminology Automatically from Comparable Texts Ghent University
Specialised, domain-specific vocabulary, i.e. terminology, has always been difficult and time-consuming to understand and translate well. Nonetheless, terms often contain essential information and a good comprehension is imperative in many contexts (e.g. medical texts, technical manuals and legal documents). Not only human translators face this problem, but machine translation (MT) as well. MT is typically based on enormous volumes of ...

A morphosyntactic and semantic analysis of the augment use and absence in the oldest Greek literary texts (800-500 BC). Ghent University

Gender Difference in the Gospel of John and in Naga Society in North-East India: A Study of the Projected Difference Between Men and Women with Special Attention to John 11:1-45 and to Naga-Folklore in Their Respective Social-Cultural Contexts KU Leuven
The question of the role of women in the Gospel of John has been widely debated after the ground breaking work of Raymond Brown (1975), “Roles of Women in the Fourth Gospel”. Since then, we have a number of scholarly researches done on the topic. For instance, Schneiders (1982); Seim (1987); Thiessen (1990); Conway (1999); Bierne (2003) etc deal with the prominent roles of Johannine women assigned with a “quasi-apostolic role” (Brown, 1975) ...
800x600 Sustainable breeding of pedigree dogs: breed-specific strategies to reduce the prevalence of heritable diseases in Belgian pedigree dogs. Normal 0 21 false false false NL-BE X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 KU Leuven
Breeding practices in purebred dogs are highly criticized since the BBC documentary in 2008. Selection for morphological extreme traits has resulted in various anatomical abnormalities and disorders in the pedigree dog population. Furthermore, selection for breed conformity further increased the number of disorders present in these breeds as a result of inbreeding practices and the use of few popular sires. As most dog breeds are closed ...
