In this paper, a restricted domain question answering (QA) system is described. The design architecture of this QA system and the features that allow the adaptation of the QA system to the medical domain are also presented. The advantages of…

La Gramática del Papel y la Referencia es una teoría funcional del lenguaje que permite la representación de un texto de entrada en términos de su estructura lógica. Con el fin de ir más allá de la gramática nuclear, el…

The aim of this paper is to show the application of moodle software to help the knowledge of graphic representation of valves with an online application. This online application has being used in a specific subject of the University of…

Universidad Nacional de La Plata (UNLP) Intellectual Creativity Diffusion Service (SeDiCI) was formed mainly to publicise the knowledge acquired at the different academic areas of our university, having the goal of restoring to the community the efforts expended on public…

In this paper, we present a new model of an artificial
immune system (AIS), based on the process
that suffers the T-Cell, it is called T-Cell
Model. It is used for solving constrained (numerical)
optimization problems. The model operates
on…

Design and optimization of distillation columns for ethanol dehydration, using a hydrocarbon as entrainer, implies a good knowledge of vapor-liquid (VLE), liquid-liquid (LLE) and vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE). Chemical process simulation programs always require the use of a thermodynamic model that…

El D-002 es una mezcla de alcoholes alifáticos primarios superiores (tetracosanol, hexacosanol, octacosanol, triacontanol, dotriacontanol, tetratriacontanol) purificada de la cera de abejas con efectos antioxidantes, cuyos efectos sobre los niveles plasmáticos de hidroperóxidos totales (OHPT) no habían sido investigados. Este…

The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) progress targets have not been met. Nevertheless, the United Nations (UN) has not yet undertaken in-depth review in order to discover the reasons behind this lack of progress in achieving the MDG. From a political…

Une préoccupation essentielle traverse cette thèse: l'indifférence systémique de la Loi internationale sur la propriété intellectuelle a l'égard des savoirs traditionnels autochtones. De manière générale, un écart semble d'ailleurs croissant entre l'importance des accords internationaux sur les questions d'intérêt commercial…

The chemical effects of acoustic cavitation are obtained in sono-reactors built-up from a vessel and an ultrasonic
source. In this paper, simulations of an existing sono-reactor are carried out, using a linear acoustics model, accounting
for the vibrations of the…
