A major problem in robotics vision is the segmentation of images of natural scenes in order to understand their content. This thesis presents a new solution to the image segmentation problem that is based on the design of a rule-based…

A new vapor-liquid equilibrium apparatus was constructed to measure temperature, pressure, and phase compositions up to 8 MPa. Systems of CO(,2) with 2-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene and m-xylene were studied at 303.15 K, 323.15 K, and 343.15 K., A general method…

The level structures of ('94)Ru, ('90)Mo, ('88)Zr, ('89)Mo and ('89)Nb have been studied via the decay of two isomers of ('94)Rh, two of ('90)Tc, two of ('88)Nb, one of ('89)Tc and one of ('89)Mo, respectively. These nuclides were produced via…

The development of precise data for the effect of chemistry and processing variables on the fracture toughness of low to medium carbon cast steels, is paramount to an increased understanding of the fracture behaviour of these important engineering materials. This…

Automatic knowledge discovery from texts (KDT) is proving to be a promising method for businesses today to deal
with the overload of textual information. In this paper, we first explore the possibilities for KDT to enhance communication in
virtual communities,…

In contemporary organizations, it is common to encounter teams that are formed to create novel outcomes and that are supported by Information Communication Technologies (ICT). These knowledge teams are also formed by members with diverse expertise, in order to create…

In the last three decennia there has been a sizable shift of labor out of Brazilian agriculture in response to the higher returns to be gained in non-farm employment. The shift has not been rapid enough to equalize the income…
