Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

This paper is an attempt to define how a
specific data structure might be used to
store, in a persistent manner, temporal
information during a computer simulation.
In particular, it considers the sort of
temporal information generated during a
discrete…

The metric spaces model formalizes the similarity search concept in nontraditional databases. The goal is to build an index designed to save distance computations when answering similarity queries later. A large class of algorithms to build the index are based…

In situ hybridization (ISH) method allows to reveal specific genes expression, identify specific cell types and detect areas or tissues, displaying differential gene expression. This work describes a standardized procedure of digital image processing that allows detailed analyses of ISH…

When users search for information in a web site, sometimes they do not get what they want.
Assuming that the scope where the search take place works fine, there are some problems caused by the way the user interact with…

The aim of this work was to identify the characteristics of the drug information provided by the Drug Information Center (DIC) of a university hospital. A cross-sectional study was conducted, identifying the profile of information requests (IRs) from January 2008…

Minimization of query execution time is an important performance objective in distributed databases design. While total time is to be minimized for On Line Transaction Processing (OLTP) type queries, response time has to be minimized in Decision Support type queries.…

La Terapia Cognitivo Conductual reduce los síntomas tanto de depresión como ansiedad a un nivel más rápido que cualquier otra terapia (Malkinson, 2010). El sujeto a participar en este estudio de caso es una mujer que cumple con los criterios…

This document describes a research and development project - Semantic Web and Cooperative Problem Solving for Online Communities of Practice. The aim of the project is to build a system supporting Cooperative Problem Solving within the framework of online Communities…
