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…

This paper explores the relation between society, family, and learning. In particular, it addresses the features of home literacy environments in low income families and their impact on children's pre-literacy skills and knowledge. Sixty-two four/five-year-old children and their mothers were…

Las trampas adhesivas reducen el tiempo de trabajo y el operador sólo tiene que cambiarlas y llevar a cabo el recuento de insectos muertos. Pueden esperarse diferencias en los recuentos entre los operadores debido a un factor personal o "actitud"…

The area of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning has been enriched during the past two decades with the addition of Argument-Based Reasoning Systems. In formal systems of defeasible argumentation, arguments for and against a proposition are produced and evaluated to test…

This paper aims to clarify an economic mechanism behind the growing dichotomy between geo-economics and the borderless global knowledge economy. The proposed hypothesis is that geo-economic fault-lines, which are the product of the past prejudices of racial, linguistic, and cultural…

This article presents a procedure for constructing a taxonomy of COTS products in the field of Requirements Engineering (RE). The taxonomy and the obtained information reach transcendental benefits to the selection of systems and tools that aid to RE-related actors…

Dentro de la antropología y la identificación forense, la aproximación facial (también conocida como "reconstrucción facial") se presenta frecuentemente como un hecho consumado, con evidencia mínima de las investigaciones y los métodos usados para alcanzar los resultados. Este trabajo presenta…

Effective document retrieval using domain knowledge and semantics is one of the major challenges in Information Retrieval. Over the last years, there has been a growing interest in ontologies as an artifact for human knowledge representation and a critical component…

This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy network where all its parameters can be tuned simultaneously using Genetic Algorithms. The approach combines the merits of fuzzy logic theory, neural networks and genetic algorithms. The proposed neuro-fuzzy network does not require a priori…

Complex control tasks may be solved by dividing them into a more specific and more easily handled subtasks hierarchy. Several authors have demonstrated that the incremental layered evolution paradigm allows obtaining controllers capable of solving this type of tasks. In…
