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,…

Biofouling is the colonization of man-made substrata by sessile organisms. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of two antifouling saturated copper coating. Bioassays were can-ied out at a harbor in Argentine (38°02'S-57°32'W). During six months, one…

En la superficie de vehículos, tales como aviones, automóviles y trenes, las cavidades abiertas son una importante fuente de ruido generado aerodinámicamente, de aumento de la resistencia y de peligrosas fluctuaciones de presión. Diversos métodos han sido probados para suprimir…

Most search methods in metric spaces assume that the topology of the object collection is reasonably regular. However, there exist nested metric spaces, where objects in the collection can be grouped into clusters or subspaces, in such a way that…

This paper focuses on prediction and prevention of seismic risk through a system for decision making. Data Warehousing and OLAP operations are applied, together with, data mining tools like association rules, decision trees and clustering to predict aspects such as…

Bilayer vesicles, such as liposomes and niosomes, are widely known as efficient delivery systems for drugs. Spherical vesicles consisting of amphipatic non-ionic surfactants named niosomes are arranged in one or more concentric bilayers. They can entrap both water and oil…

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…

Alsodes pehuenche es una especie endémica del Valle Pehuenche, en los An- des centrales de la Argentina, en el límite con Chile. Su biología es pobremente conocida y, en consecuencia, ha sido incluida en la categoría de Datos Insuficientes por…
