Determining an optimal schedule to minimize the completion time of the last job abandoning the system (makespan) becomes a very difficult problem when there are more than two machines in the flow shop. Due both to its economical impact and…

Brazil nut is widely recognized as the cornerstone of the Amazonian extractive economy. Tight linkages between Brazil nut production, regional income, and intact mature forests have thrust this species into focus as a key component of Amazonian conservation and income…

A utilização da modelagem matemática pode contribuir para aumentar o conhecimento em sistemas de produção animal, possibilitando a identificação, compreensão e quantificação das interações e problemas nestes sistemas. Por este motivo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um modelo para…

Knowledge acquisition for systems based on knowledge can be called knowledge engineering, according to Feigenbaum (1980) who used the term to describe the reduction of a wide context of knowledge for a set of facts and rules. The term Knowledge…

The idea is to analyse the data to generate knowledge in biology, and to do that it is necessary a lot of storage space to data., 2012, X-MEETING 2012.

This study examines the relationship between knowledge management and organizational resilience. The sample for the study consisted of one hundred and twenty eight (128) employees from the thirty four manufacturing companies that are registered with the manufacturers Association of Nigeria,…

Este trabajo propone un modelo declarativo para el modelado de sistemas de gestión
de diálogo. La estrategia propuesta se basa en una división funcional del sistema de gestión en
cuatro niveles: especificación, interfaz de usuario, representación y ejecución; cada uno…

Most neural network learning algorithms cannot use knowledge other than what is provided in the training data. Initialized using random weights, they cannot use prior knowledge such as knowledge stored in previously trained networks. This manuscript thesis addresses this problem.…

When it was created in 1995, the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) served only 200 students and offered two degrees. Today, it has expanded its activities to serve over 20,000 students and 16 official degrees. UOC also offers more than…

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar e discutir uma proposta de modelo conceitual para a criação de Colaboratórios para as redes de pesquisa da Embrapa. Os Colaboratórios são espaços virtuais de aprendizagem que, estruturados sob uma lógica sócio-interacionista e com…
