Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Responses
effects of being embedded
Anyway, I think it is about the way/strength of the main buildings being embedded in the site is reflected in their response to seismic loads and the soil. But I feel that "response" is something strange in this non-sentence, although I could explain it as sg. like 'effect of embedment on the site's response to...' or 'effect of embedment felt/shown/detectable in the site response'. But this probably doesn't affect the meaning of the phrase requested.
it is not a title |
I also felt that "response" is strange here! |

: "effects" is a noun here. Read it as "...site's response" and then it's clear //But you said it was wrong in your 11.04 discussion comment. There's nothing "strange" about "response" at all

Thanks, Gallagy. Just as I suggested in my second sentence, not in my discussion point, I said, "I could explain it as sg. like 'effect of embedment on the site's response to...'", hardly saying it was wrong, but another interpretation, don't you think.

Discussion
Thus, the factors that are usually taken into account for the decision on the main plant grade level include the following:
1. Embedment effects of the main buildings in the site response to seismic loads and the soil– structure interaction effects in the dynamic response of the structures, systems and components.
2. .....
3. .....
