An electronic system of infrared spectral data for toxicological analysis.
Abstract A large number of non-volatile poisons have been analyzed by infrared spectroscopy and spectral indices have been stored as standards. Comparison of the spectra of unknown samples with the standard spectra allows identification of the unknown samples. This comparison is carried out by computer.
A simple rapid identification of psychotropic drugs by infrared spectrophotometry in emergency--preliminary description.
Abstract A large number of pharmaceutical products has been analysed by this original method. It is based on the extraction with chloroform of the active principles followed by infrared absorption spectrometry. Comparison of the spectra obtained with those for compounds previously obtained allows the prompt identification of unknown samples.
Translating Legal Language and Comparative Law
Legal texts are in the focus of both lawyers and translators. This paper discusses the binary opposition of these two views especially in the light of contract law. There is one crucial epistemic difference between the point of view of the translator and the lawyer when it comes to the interpretation of legal texts. In the translator’s view legal text is traditionally conceived as static as to its nature; something that already exists in the form of text. Traditionally, the translator is interested in the text itself as it was written down in a document, i.e. the translator needs to go back to the frozen moment when a legal document was constructed and finalised. The lawyer, in contrast, is very much interested not only in the text of the legal document but also in the contextual surroundings of the text. In fact, for legal interpretation, sometimes the key-elements for the interpretation come from outside of the text itself. This paper concludes that legal translation is in many cases closer to transcreation than it is to traditionally understood translation.
