In this paper an adaptive fuzzy decentralized
control algorithm for trajectory tracking of robot manipulators is developed. The proposed decentralized control algorithm allows the overall closed-loop system to be stabilized while making the tracking error to be uniformly ultimately bounded…

The main contention in this paper is that the process of communicating scientific knowledge could be compared to the role of the translator as communicator (Hatim & Masón, 1997). Like the translator, the task of the scientist is to encode…

The application of the multilingual knowledge encoded in Wikipedia to an open–domain Cross–Lingual Question Answering system
based on the Inter Lingual Index (ILI) module of EuroWordNet is proposed and evaluated. This strategy overcomes the problems due to
ILI’s low coverage…

Integrate and fire processes are fundamental mechanisms causing excitable and oscillatory behavior. Van der Pol [Philos. Mag. (7) 2 (11) (1926) 978] studied oscillations caused by these processes, which he called,relaxation oscillations' and pointed out their relevance, not only to…

Les politiques éducatives se multiplient à l’échelle des pays industrialisés mais celles-ci semblent rencontrer de graves problèmes d’atteinte de résultats concrets et satisfaisants. La mise en œuvre d’une politique, notamment les stratégies gouvernementales « hybrides » sélectionnées, c’est-à-dire des stratégies…

The Sami people have struggled for centuries to maintain their culture in spite of pressures against it from colonialism. The formal education systems of Norway and Finland have acted in discord with Sami decision-making since their inception. In response to…

tecnologías de base que integran la Tecnología del Habla. En ese modelo se parte de un
conocimiento inicial de aspectos básicos de la teoría general de la lengua, sobre…

Research in decision making has identified the importance of prior knowledge and heuristics on decision making behaviour. These develop with experience in a fashion similar to how domain experts develop specialized knowledge structures and heuristic reasoning patterns. This research is…
