Este trabajo aporta nuevas evidencias sobre el impacto de las reformas comerciales sobre los salarios. En primer lugar, se introduce un modelo de comercio que combina un mecanismo de fijación de salarios no competitivo debido a la existencia de sindicatos,…

The term “Federated Databases” refers to the data integration of distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous databases. However, a federation can also include information systems, not only databases. When integrating data, several issues must be addressed. Here, we focus on the problem…

This paper presents an evolution of a simulation environment where situations in which a DDB should maintain data integrity are modeled and implemented. These situations include failures taking place during transactions, and the focus is mainly on the utilization and…

The main objective of this paper centers on reviewing the evolution of Decision Support System´s (DSS) architectures, particularly as they apply to natural resources. Today it is difficult to conceive the existence of a rural planning automated system that doesn't…

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

We present partial results of a research project in which we use boolean circuits as a parallel computation model for the expression of queries to relational databases. For that purpose, we use the well-known equivalence between First Order Logic (FO)…

Minimization of query execution time is an important performance objective in distributed databases design. While total time is to be minimized for On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) type queries, response time has to be minimized in Decision Support type queries.…

E-mail texts are hard to process due to their short length. In this article, the use of a diffuse neural network that is capable of identifying the most relevant terms in a set of e-mails is proposed. The associations between…

Se han estudiado los efectos de los complejos zinc-metionina con la relación molar 1:1 y 1:2 como suplementación alimentaria de zinc en ratones. La obtención y la caracterización de dos complejos de zinc fueron evaluadas por análisis elemental y FTIR.…

The general objective of this thesis is the development of an adaptive technique for extracting knowledge in large databases. Nowadays, technology allows storing huge volumes of information. For this reason, the availability of techniques that allow, as a first stage,…

La soja [(Glycine max L.) Mer.] puede sembrarse en una amplia zona del país en Argentina. Los ensayos comparativos de rendimiento, normalmente se realizan en 3 zonas agroecológicas: Norte, Pampeana Norte y Pampeana Sur. El análisis y la interpretación de…
