Information location and interactivity are two attributes of desktop virtual environment (DVE) design that can be exploited to enhance the ability of learners to acquire information and skills that transfer to real world. The term "information location" refers to the…

In this paper, we propose semantic enterprise search as promising technical methodology for improving on accessibility to institutional knowledge. We briefly discuss the nature of knowledge and ignorance in respect to web-based information retrieval before introducing our particular view on…

A person builds his or her knowledge from different sources of information. In school he learns that Buonarroti was born in Caprese and at home they tell him that the name of the neighbor's dog is Fido. In order to…

In this paper we present a very simple derivation of the constants of motion for dynamical systems, which requires only an elementary knowledge of the theory of continuous groups. In addition, through the infinitesimal Lorenz transformations group, we obtain a…

The paper describes an application of indexing-the technology currently widely used for processing and comparing textual information-to multi-dimensional entities of knowledge domains. We propose a model for building a frame-based ontology, which contains a domain conceptual model as well as…

OBJECTIVE: This comparison of population-based representative samples of adult smokers in Canada (n=1 751) and Mexico (n=1 081) aimed to determine whether cigarette packages with graphic warning labels in Canada had a stronger impact than the text-only warning labels in…

In this dissertation the GEONTO-MET methodology is presented. It is oriented to formalize the geographic domain conceptualization according to the specifications of the Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática (INEGI). The main goal is to provide semantic descriptions, which…

A two-dimensional Laplace equation is separable in elliptic coordinates and leads to a Chebyshev-like differential equation for both angular and radial variables. In the case of the angular variable η (-1 < η < 1), the solutions are the well…

Automatic keyword extraction is an important subfield of information extraction process. It is a difficult task, where numerous different techniques and resources have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a generic approach to extract keyword from documents using encyclopedic…
