IP Networks, and particularly the Internet, were proposed to be a simple and robust support for heterogeneous communications. This implies that only basic controls have to be done by network elements. Connection management, along with transport, and more generally communication…

Intelligent computing systems comprising microprocessor cores, memory and reconfigurable user-programmable logic represent a promising technology which is well-suited for applications such as digital signal and image processing, cryptography and encryption, etc. These applications employ frequently recursive algorithms which are particularly…

El conocimiento de los procesos que condujeron a una determinada realidad académica constituye un basamento indispensable para la elaboración de medidas tendientes a su mejora futura. En tal sentido aquí se estudian los procesos que conforman el camino que han…

The Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) is a pilot track within the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2006. The AVE competition provides an evaluation frame-
work for answer validations in Question Answering (QA). In our participation in AVE, we propose a system…

La fuerza arrolladora de la globalización y la crisis de los modelos convencionales de interpretación del mundo rural, están acercando los enfoques hermeneúticos a los
territorios rurales, particularmente los indígenas, en los que son más evidentes los alcances culturales…

En este trabajo se propone un modelo fractal —la herramienta matemática empleada por Mandelbrot en el estudio de fenómenos naturales de nuestro entorno— para dar cuenta de la propagación de la ciencia desde una nueva perspectiva, lo que nos permite…

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…

ABSTRACT: Soil compactation is problem in modern agriculture. Over cultivation, intensive cropping and inappropriate soil management leads to soil compactation. There are important factors which directly affect plant growth, such as water, oxygen, temperature and mechanical resistance to seedling emergence…
