E-cognocracy [Moreno-Jiménez, 2003, 2006; Moreno-Jiménez and Polasek, 2003, 2005] is a new democratic system conceived for the purpose of extracting and diffusing the knowledge derived from the scientific resolution of complex problems that arise in the field of public decision…

This paper proposes a new routing algorithm to facilitate communication in highly mobile wireless ad-hoc networks for motorway environments with no physical infrastructure which undergo frequent topological changes. This new reactive routing algorithm for inter-vehicular communication is based on location…

The goal of this study is to outline the readability of an Example-Based Machine Translation for any pair of languages by means of the language-independent properties of the lexical conceptual structure (LCS). We describe LCS as a representation of traditional…

The general objective of present work has been the development and application of analytical methodologies based on the combination of UV spectra with chemometrics methods of experimental design for establishing the matrix of calibration and later analysis of the obtained…

Ecology, morphology, and phylogeny contribute to the organization of lizard assemblages; however, the number of lizard assemblages for which detailed knowledge of closely related sympatric species is available is limited. We studied the diet of 3 sympatric species of lizards…

A functional understanding of Newton's second law as a vector equation requires that students be able to reason about forces and acceleration as vectors. In this paper, we present data describing students' conceptual difficulties with vector quantities such as acceleration.…

By determining the specific composition, spatial distribution and population dynamics of flatfish species captured in shrimp trawls' bycatch in the Gulf of California, this study aims to contribute to the knowledge of bycatch fish population which has thus far been…

In this paper we present a fuzzy reasoning model and a designed system for Recognition of Facial Expressions, which can measure and recognize the intensity of basic or non-prototypical emotions. The proposed model operates with encoded facial deformations described in…

Research related to neuropsychological evaluation on eating disorders (ED) has produced diverse results, being more abundant those which study attention, specifically using Stroop Test, both in the standard and the modified versions, using words related to food and body shape.…

Distribution records are the basis for conservation planning and species conservation assessments. New locality and elevation records are reported for 2 dipsadid snakes (Oxyrhopus petolarius and Urotheca fulviceps) and 1 colubrid (Spilotes pullatus) from the Talamanca mountain range of Costa…
