Although there is a general understanding of Montagu’s harrier migration routes and wintering areas, detailed information on the species’ migration is still lacking. However, improvements in satellite tracking technology in recent years have enabled the study of medium-sized species by…

Cloud Agile Manufacturing is a new paradigm proposed in this article. The main objective of Cloud Agile Manufacturing is to offer industrial production systems as a service. Thus users can access any functionality available in the cloud of manufacturing (process…

Purpose – Information and communication technologies have became pervasive in people’s lives and in this changing world education cannot remain anchored in old-fashioned models which ignore the evolution through which society is going. This paper seeks to present the gamble…

This paper describes the overall architecture of Episteme, a tool for the development of efficient LFG-based MT systems following the classical transfer approach. The
system incorporates a series of novel computational techniques which enhance the overall performance significantly: representation, storage…

Purpose – The idea that knowledge management can be a potential source of competitive advantage has gained strength in the last few years. However, a number of business actions are needed to generate an appropriate environment and infrastructure for knowledge…

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…

The complexity and variety of possible behaviours of the quaternary liquid-liquid, liquid-liquid-solid equilibrium at constant temperature and pressure and the ternary isobaric or isothermal liquid-liquid-vapor equilibria are very high and, sometimes, the phase equilibria diagrams appear incomplete and not clearly…

Cuando el control y gestión del Canal de Panamá pasó al estado panameño a finales de 1999, el gobierno comenzó a preparar un plan para su modernización. Este plan incluía la construcción de nuevas esclusas para que pudieran atravesarlo un…

This paper describes the development of an image retrieval
system that combines probabilistic and ontological information1. The
process is divided in two different stages: indexing and retrieval. Three
information flows have been created with different kind of information
each one:…

Design and optimization of distillation columns for ethanol dehydration, using a hydrocarbon as entrainer, implies a good knowledge of vapor-liquid (VLE), liquid-liquid (LLE) and vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE). Chemical process simulation programs always require the use of a thermodynamic model that…
