The goal of this thesis is to apply the computational approach to motor learning, i.e., describe the constraints that enable performance improvement with experience and also the constraints that must be satisfied by a motor learning system, describe what is…

En la literatura aparecen más de tres millones de artículos acerca de
las proteínas y sus interacciones (PPI). En este trabajo se expone una arquitectura
plausible y algunos experimentos preliminares de nuestro sistema de extracción de
información sobre interacciones entre…

This paper presents a proposal for an architecture that integrates knowledge discovery systems (automatic acquisition) and knowledge based systems (experts systems). This work formulates considerations over the viability of the implementation of this architecture according to the advance of the…

Este artículo describe la integración de ontologías en formato OWL como
fuentes de conocimiento externas de un sistema de diálogo. El presente trabajo se
centra en conseguir un agente que gestione cualquier ontología independientemente
del dominio y sin perder expresividad…

Originally published in Rhizomes, an international peer-reviewed online journal. Reprinted in Giffney, N. ed., 2008. Queering the Non/Human. London: Ashgate., Subjectivities configured as post-human may challenge investments in former configurations of what it means to be human, but there remains…

Knowledge is one of the most precious resources of an organization. Every organization wishes to preserve and fully utilize its knowledge. Within organization knowledge is present in various forms, may be in the minds of workers or in documented form.…

Farmers from Camaquã, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were shown to have a holistic view of the quality of the soil they are cultivating. Progress towards sustainable land management will come from the synergy of both local and formal scientific…

Ion channels lie at the heart of gamete signaling. Understanding their regulation will improve our knowledge of sperm physiology, and may lead to novel contraceptive strategies. Sperm are tiny (similar to 3 mu m diameter) and, until now, direct evidence…

A theory of early and intermediate visual information processing is given, which extends to about the level of figure-ground separation. Its core is a computational theory of texture vision. Evidence obtained from perceptual and from computational experiments is adduced in…

The literature suggests that the United Kingdom, in common with Europe, North America, Canada and Scandinavia, has seen significant growth in single-issue self-help/mutual aid groups concerned with health and social care issues since the 1970s, but there is only ad…
