The ability of building robust semantic space representations of environments is crucial for the development of truly autonomous robots. This task, inherently connected with cognition, is traditionally achieved by training the robot with a supervised learning phase. We argue that…

This article contains a rapid review of the abundant information furnished by the Latin inscriptions to our knowledge of Ancient History. To this effect a rapid balance is made of the Latin epigraphs known today and the advances made in…

This article reviews existing knowledge concerning the epidemiology, instruments and regulatory criteria currently used to evaluate artificial turf soccer pitches. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the use of artificial turf as a playing surface for sports (rugby, soccer,…

En la presente investigación nos aproximamos y presentamos una obra de finales del siglo XIX que abarca tres disciplinas distintas pero sumamente relacionadas, como son la fonética, la lexicología y la lexicografía: Elementos de Fonética y Lexicología seguidos del vocabulario…

Los cambios registrados en el clima durante las últimas décadas están afectando a la distribución y dinámica poblacional de las especies a una escala global, induciendo cambios en la fenología, en el crecimiento o en las interacciones bióticas. Estas alteraciones…

When training hidden-Markov-model-based part-of-speech (PoS) taggers involved in machine translation systems in an unsupervised manner the use of target-language information has proven to give better results than the standard Baum-Welch algorithm. The target-language-driven training algorithm proceeds by translating every possible…

En el trabajo se analizan las consecuencias de la crisis económica internacional de 2008 sobre el turismo en el destino Rio Grande do Norte (Brasil), dedicándose especial atención a los efectos de esta crisis y a las medidas implantadas para…

Purpose – Information and communication technologies have became pervasive in people’s lives and in this changing world education cannot remain anchored in old-fashioned models which ignore the evolution through which society is going. This paper seeks to present the gamble…

Heterogeneous azeotropic distillation is a widely used technique to separate binary azeotropic mixtures into their components. One of its most important applications is the dehydration of ethanol, which is blended with gasoline to obtain automobile fuel. Among all the compounds…

In big companies, managerial activities and organizational boundaries will over time hide most unevenly developed skill and knowledge distribution patterns; studying the organizations with the means of modern applied physics is thus quite difficult. People are forced to communicate along…
