English to Spanish: BRIEF REPORT Measuring Emotional Intelligence With the MSCEIT V2.0 General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English Issues of Factor Structure
The factor structure of a test indicates how many entities it plausibly measures. In this specific case, it indicates how many dimensions of EI the test is “pick- ing up”—one unified dimension, many related dimen- sions, or something else. We believe that the domain of EI is well-described by one-, two-, and four- oblique (correlated) factor models, as well as other equivalent models. If the MSCEIT V2.0 shows a simi- lar structure to the MEIS for both expert and general scoring, it would strengthen the argument that the theory of EI we use works across tests. Using the standardization sample, we performed confirmatory factor analyses of the full scale MSCEIT V2.0, testing one-, two-, and four-factor models to examine the range of permissible factor structures for representing the EI domain.
Translation - Spanish Problemas con la estructura factorial
La estructura factorial de una prueba indica las posibles entidades que puede medir. En este caso en particular, indica cuántas dimensiones de la IE percibe la prueba –una dimensión unificada, muchas dimensiones relacionadas u otra cosa. Creemos que el campo de la IE se describe bien con modelos factoriales (correlacionados) oblicuos de uno, dos y cuatro factores, así como otros modelos equivalentes. El argumento de que la teoría de la IE que nosotros empleamos funciona de una prueba a otra se fortalecerá si el MSCEIT V2.0 demuestra una estructura similar a la del MEIS en los puntajes expertos y los generales. Llevamos a cabo un análisis factorial confirmatorio de la escala MSCEIT V2.0 completa empleando la muestra de estandarización, haciendo pruebas de los modelos de uno, dos y cuatro factores para examinar la gama de factores de estructura aceptables para la representación del campo de la IE.
Spanish to English: Gestión de redes y servicios NGN/4G General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Telecom(munications)
Source text - Spanish Impulsada por la necesidad de apoyar a una gran variedad personalizada de dispositivos móviles, contexto rico en servicios y aplicaciones de multimedia, la cuarta generación (4G) de los sistemas de comunicaciones móviles ha sido objeto de desarrollo de los investigadores y proveedores a escala mundial. La creciente implantación de redes de acceso para comunicaciones móviles aumentará, sin lugar a dudas, la capacidad de conectividad de los usuarios móviles. Las características de la conectividad serán distintas según la tecnología de la red de acceso, lo que incitará a la necesidad de una gestión integrada, más efectiva, robusta y eficaz, siendo necesario incorporar nuevas áreas funcionales al modelo de gestión tradicional, las cuales se detallan en el presente artículo.
Translation - English Driven by the necessity to support a large variety of personalized mobile devices, context rich in multimedia services and applications, the fourth generation (4G) of the mobile communications systems has been the subject of development for researchers and providers worldwide. Without a doubt, the growing introduction of access networks for mobile communication will increase the connectivity capacity of the mobile users. Connectivity characteristics will differ according to the access network’s technology, which will incite the necessity of a more effective, robust, and efficiently integrated management, making it necessary to incorporate new functional areas to the traditional management model, which are outlined in the present article.
English to Spanish: Evaluation of pulp and paper making characteristics of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) General field: Science Detailed field: Paper / Paper Manufacturing
Source text - English The two grass species used, elephant grass (cv SDPN3) and switchgrass (cv. Cave-in-Rock), are cultivated in Southern Africa both experimentally and for animal production, and are being considered as energy production crops. Material used in this study was harvested from ongoing biomass production trials at the end of the growing season. Air dried samples of the grasses were cut into about 2 cm long pieces and washed with water to remove adhering soil particles, air dried, and stored with less than 15% moisture content. Subsamples of the grasses, 200 g (air dry weight), were pulped using a 14% active alkali (AA) and 20% sulphidity using a 5:1 liquid to grass ratio, excluding moisture, following Madakadze et al. (1999) procedure. This was done in 2-L rotating bomb digesters at a cooking temperature of 160°C, being allowed 60 min to reach cooking temperature and another 60 min at that temperature. The cooked grasses were disintegrated in a Cowles mixer (Louis Allis Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) for two minutes followed by thorough washing with tap water.
Translation - Spanish Las dos especies de pasto utilizadas, el pasto elefante (cv. SDPN3) y el pasto varilla (cv. Cave-in-Rock), se cultivan en Sud África ambos experimentalmente y para la producción de animales y, están siendo considerados como cultivos energéticos. El material utilizado en este estudio fue recolectado de los continuos ensayos de producción de biomasa al final de la temporada de crecimiento. Las muestras secadas al aire de los pastos se cortaron en pedazos de unos 2 cm de largo y se lavaron con agua para quitar partículas de suelo adheridas; se secaron al aire y; se guardaron con un contenido de humedad menor que un 15%. Se siguió el procedimiento de Madakadze et al. (1999) para convertir en pasta las submuestras de los pastos, 200g (peso cuando secado al aire), utilizando un 14% de álcali activo (AA) y un 20% de sulfuridad utilizando una proporción de líquido a pasto de 5:1, excluyendo la humedad. (1999). Esto fue efectuado en digestores de bomba rotatoria de 2L a una temperatura de cocción de 160 grados centígrados, dándoles 60 minutos para alcanzar la temperatura de cocción y otros 60 minutos para mantenerse en ésta. Los pastos cocidos se desintegraron en un mezclador Cowles (Louis Allis Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) por dos minutos y luego se lavaron cuidadosamente con agua de la llave.

Experience
Years of experience: 15. Registered at ProZ.com: Mar 2012.
I am a freelance translator as well as an educator and academic. I completed my education at York University, Toronto, Canada.
Achieved in 2012: Certificate in Translation (Participated in an internship)
Achieved in 2011: Bachelor of Education (Intermediate/Senior division in the subjects of Art and Spanish)
Achieved in 2010: Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours, double major in Fine Arts and Spanish)
I am constantly learning new skills and applying them in order to improve upon them.
It is often said that translation can be a painful job however, I find it quite enjoyable because through it you not only learn about new ideas and/or subjects but you also get to learn more about each of the languages that you are working with. I am an individual who will step up to challenges in order to enhance my knowledge of the world.
