división22 = divide, division, partition, split, splitting up, cleavage, rift, segmentation, splitting, splintering, splinter, balkanization, fault line, parting, divided line.Ex: Nevertheless, this basic divide remains a useful distinction between two major categories of indexing systems.
Ex: In simple terms, the essence of subject organisation is the division of literature (or references to literature) into manageable, or scannable categories, with each category being associated with an index term.Ex: It is concluded that the choice of citation and co-citation thresholds can be influenced by formal considerations which ensure statistically meaningful partitions rather than arbitrary decision which can produce meaningless interpretations.Ex: The information note may consist of a brief history of a corporate body, highlighting changes in the body's name, mergers with other bodies, splits within or between bodies, etc.Ex: New topics develop not merely by fission -- the splitting up of established subjects -- but also by fusion -- the merging of previously distinct subjects.Ex: After the Civil War, Emerson saw in collegiate education 'a cleavage occurring in the hitherto firm granite of the past'.Ex: Chief among these challenges is the technological rift that exists between the Third World and on-line systems that have their roots in technologically advanced societies.Ex: Using this method, the segmentation of natural keywords can be handled flexibly.Ex: The most obvious threat is the splitting of the media sector into separate information and entertainment sectors.Ex: This splintering of membership hinders the development of library unionism as a factor within the profession.Ex: However, others see the splinters in the discipline as a step in its revitalization.Ex: This shifts in emphasis mirror the general balkanization of modern American society.Ex: These views underlie the fault line that divides British politics today.Ex: A brief selection of possible scientific explanations for a number of biblical miracles -- Noah's flood, the parting of the Red Sea, the burning bush, the ten plagues, manna from heaven, and the raising of Lazarus -- is provided.Ex: The 1944 Education Act established free, universal secondary education but on the divided lines suited to the needs of capitalism.* división cultural, la = cultural divide, the.* división del mercado por grupos de consumidores = market segmentation.* división del trabajo = division of labour.* división de opiniones = division of opinion, split decision, divided opinions.* división de poderes = division of powers.* división digital, la = digital divide, the.* división + no estar clara = blur + division.* división política = political division.* división territorial = land division.* haber división de opiniones = be split on, opinion + be divided.* haber división de opiniones entre los críticos = critics + be divided.* hacer desaparecer una división = blur + division.* punto de división = break.* salvar la división = bridge + the divide.división33 = unit, division.Ex: Therefore, during the concluding phase of the revision project, the representatives of ALA units and other organizations will function as a single group.
