Issues related to maternal mortality have generated a lot of empirical and theoretical information. However, despite the amount of work published on the topic, maternal mortality continues to occur at high rates and solutions to the problem are still not…

Unlike porous models developed for particular absorbing materials and frequency ranges, the Johnson-Champoux-Allard model is a generalized model for sound propagation in porous materials over a wide range of frequencies. This model is nowadays used widely across the acoustic research…

This article presents a procedure for constructing a taxonomy of COTS products in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE). The taxonomy and the obtained information reach transcendental benefits to the selection of systems and tools that aid to RE-related actors…

The paper presents a curriculum model used as a theoretical framework to analyse classroom practice in Icelandic and Science in the context of national tests in Iceland. The model represents a synthesis of literature about curriculum, teachers’ conceptions, pedagogical content…

The International Programme Committee for the 5th International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice (EBLIP5) Conference invites you to submit oral presentations and posters for the conference, Bridging the Gap, to be held in Stockholm, Sweden from 29 June –…

The lack of electronic decision support is an emerging issue for pharmacists in Australia involved in medication reviews. A digital document approach allows a flexible means of communicating and sharing medication-related information through a simple, easy-to-use artefact. This document-centric approach…

Aesthetic definitions of art face difficulties in dealing with art that is nonaesthetic.  This has led some to suggest that if aesthetic theories of art are to apply to all art, then they must be disjunctive.  In such a case,…

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The proposed neuro-fuzzy network does not require a priori…

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining controllers capable of solving this type of tasks. In…
