It is commonly acknowledged that we need to accept and handle uncertainty when reasoning with real world data. The most profoundly studied measure of uncertainty is the probability. However, the general feeling is that probability cannot express all types of…

Tradicionalmente, los estudios biogeoquímicos consideraban el suelo como una "caja negra", conectada con el resto del ecosistema mediante flujos de entrada y de salida de nutrientes, en la que éstos experimentan transformaciones mediadas en gran parte por microorganismos desconocidos. El…

La construcción de carreteras y otras obras públicas produce impactos ambientales severos que afectan a las propiedades de los ecosistemas. Los taludes generados en estas obras presentan escasas coberturas vegetales y el establecimiento de la vegetación, tanto de forma natural…

This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use of…
