In this work we present a method to calculate the spectrum of the fundamental primaries of a digital camera from the experimental knowledge of its spectral sensitivities. The color triangle of the camera, linked to the chromaticities of its primaries,…

Due to the dynamic nature of the Web as well as its heterogeneous audience, web applications are more likely to rapidly evolve leading to inconsistencies among requirements during the development process. With the purpose to deal with these inconsistencies, web…

The appearance and continuous growth of virtual communities on the web imposes the challenge of coping with the large amount of information and knowledge these communities produce. The Semantic Web with its set of standards and technologies provides the basic…

"The discrepancy between [our personal experiences] and our idealizations of knowledge leads us into counterproductive strategies for learning and thinking" (Papert 1993). This discrepancy has driven most research towards understanding how people fail to accomplish a task, while few researchers…

In the wake of the development of technology to sequence the complete genome of an organism, it has become expedient to generate methodologies to elucidate and characterize the function of all genes constituting the complete genetic makeup of an organism,…

(cont.) to variations in the way functional elements interact with verbal roots. Overall, my work not only contributes to our understanding of how events are syntactically represented, but also explicates interactions at the syntax-semantics interface, clarifying the relationship between surface…

Decision tree learning algorithms have been successfully used in knowledge discovery. They use induction in order to provide an appropriate classification of objects in terms of their attributes, inferring decision tree rules. This paper reports on the use of ID3…

Las listas de palabras con sus frecuencias se usan ampliamente en muchos procedimientos de agrupamiento y categorización de textos. Usualmente para la compilación de tales listas se usan las aproximaciones basadas en morfología (como el stemmer de Porter) para unir…

(cont.) in the ECS signal, no definitive method for sensing blade vibration using an ECS has yet been developed., High cycle fatigue (HCF) cracks generated by compressor blade vibrations are a common source of failure in gas turbine engines. Current…

Parallel machine scheduling, involves the allocation of jobs to the system resources (a bank of machines in parallel). A basic model consisting of m machines and n jobs is the foundation of more complex models. Here, jobs are allocated according…
