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…

In this thesis, the opportunities and challenges involved in applying natural language processing techniques to the control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are addressed. The problem of controlling an unmanned aircraft via natural language inputs is formulated as a feedback…

Nature and Gnosticism are problematic terms. With the discovery of a library of so called heretical Gnostic texts in 1945, theologians, historians, and believers the world over have been exposed to Christian texts that call into question the liturgical lineage…

The analysis of high sports performance by means of technological advances has often been used to calculate the routes of sportsmen in the distances covered, or to calculate speed in orienteering. However, there is still little information on data for…

Associating the pattern in text data with the pattern with time series data is a novel task. In this paper, an approach that utilizes the features of the time series data and domain knowledge is proposed and used to identify…

L'utilisation de l'expérience comme un mode de détermination des faits, c'est-à-dire comme un élément qui comble les lacunes dans l'ensemble des éléments de preuve dans le procès civil, est un thème quelque peu tabou. La doctrine est souvent basée sur…

Decision making models for autonomous agents are recently receiving increased attention, particularly in the feld of intelligent robots. This work presents a Defeasible Logic Programming approach to decision making in an environment with single and multiple robots. We will show,…

A modern electrical system requires constant and in many cases great investment, as to keep more efficient quality pointers, we have considered CONELEC as a regulator of this. CONELEC has given rules which make the distributors steadily improve those quality…

This paper presents AWAC, a prototype CAWE tool for the automatic generation of adaptive Web applications based on the A-OOH methodology. A-OOH (Adaptive OO-H) is an extension of the OO-H approach to support the modeling of personalized Websites. A-OOH allows…

This report investigates some techinques appropriate to representing the knowledge necessary for understanding a class of electronic machines -- radio receivers. A computational performance model - WATSON - is presented. WATSONs task is to isolate failures in radio receivers whose…
