In big companies, managerial activities and organizational boundaries will over time hide most unevenly developed skill and knowledge distribution patterns; studying the organizations with the means of modern applied physics is thus quite difficult. People are forced to communicate along…

This paper describes an efficient implementation of multiple-target multiple-view tracking in video-surveillance sequences. It takes advantage of the capabilities of multiple core Central Processing Units (CPUs) and of graphical processing units under the Compute Unifie Device Arquitecture (CUDA) framework. The…

Although tropical deciduous forest (TDF) is the most widespread tropical forest in Mexico, knowledge on its regeneration
and restoration ecology is still scarce. Here, we compare the diversity of TDF trees and shrubs having published
propagation protocols with the total…

Knowledge of the population dynamics of tropical trees has expanded considerably in the past 20 years. An important observation deriving from these investigations is the confirmation that population behaviour varies both in time and space. A tool recently developed to…

Inquiring into the suspended professionalization of the translation occupation in Israel, this article examines two types of self-presentational discourses and status strategies – that of top literary translators, on the one hand, and that of technical translators, subtitlers and non-elite…

The NMC (2008) and UK law both make it clear that women have the right to decline student participation in their care and that this right overrides the student’s need to gain knowledge and experience. Helmreich et al (2008) suggests…

La présente recherche développe le projet d’écrive quatre compositions pour différents groupes d’instruments réunies autour de l’idée des quatre éléments (terre, eau, feu, air). La recherche comprend : une courte description de l’idée même de ces éléments dans la culture…

Problematic aspects of intercultural communication are considered in the context of: an increasingly internationalized market for higher education; the globalization of knowledge; the compatibility of distinct national higher education cultures; and the capacity for successful cross-cultural cooperation. This is exemplified…

Early informatics focused primarily on the application of technology and computer science to a specific domain; modern informatics has broadened to encompass human and knowledge dimensions. Application of technology is but one aspect of informatics. Understanding domain members’ issues, priorities,…

This paper presents several computer related techniques that encourage EDG students to develop knowledge at levels 4 and 5 of Bloom's taxonomy.  These knowledge levels are associated with generalized problem solving in undergraduates and research capabilities in graduate students.  The…
