During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

Este estudio describe la abundancia estacional, fenología reproductiva y uso de hábitat de Mulato (Melanotis caerulescens), especie endémica de México y valorizada por su canto. Se realizó un muestreo con el método de captura con redes de niebla durante 2…

Electronic Government applications aim to deliver efficient, seamless, customer-focused services to the public using various distribution channels. One of challenges in building such applications is the requirement to rely upon preexisting, often heterogeneous government applications. In order to enable communication…

In cases of extremely imbalanced dataset with high dimensions, standard machine learning techniques tend to be overwhelmed by the large classes. This paper rebalances skewed datasets by compressing the majority class. This approach combines Vector Quantization and Support Vector Machine…

This volume has an interesting variety of articles, which at first glance, may not seem to have much in common. However, taking a deeper look at the contents of the texts, several common nexus emerge, above all the feeling that…

AbstractVirtual Worlds (VWs) like Second Life provide a multiuser 3-D environment that may be utilized for either classroom-based or autonomous language learning. While Second Life is one of the most popular VWs at the current time (especially if differentiated from…

Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is a well-known form of
discourse analysis which is built around the examination of the
ideological, social, historical and cultural components of
discourse. The field has become well-established since the early
1980s…

El presente artículo describe un sistema de adquisición de datos para un medidor de deformación. Se presenta el análisis del diseño de la circuitería y la programación, los resultados obtenidos y finalmente algunas conclusiones.

The impact on temperature of the urban growth in central Mexico from 1993 to 2009 and the sensitivity of forecast to change in land cover are studied using high resolution numerical simulations. The mesoscale atmospheric Weather Research and Forecasting model…

Presentamos el cálculo de la estructura electrónica de bandas de la superficie ideal del Pt(100) y Pt(110). El cálculo se realizó utilizando la teoría del funcional de la densidad y el método de enlace fuerte. Como resultado de nuestro cálculo…
