Most studies on Japanese supplier-automaker relationships have focused on the nature of
the dyadic inter-firm relationship and the performance of the assembler. We examine the
relationship between a Japanese supplier's "customer scope strategy" (i.e. number of
customers) and the supplier's…

El concepto de gremio trófico es útil para el avance en el conocimiento de la estructura trófica de las comunidades, las interacciones entre especies, el reconocimiento de los servicios ecosistémicos que proveen, la respuesta al cambio climático, las estrategias de…

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.…

El desarrollo de sistemas de diálogo prácticos, orientados a aplicaciones específicas,
requiere un esfuerzo de diseño muy elevado. La práctica en el desarrollo, manejo y refinamiento
de sistemas concretos nos ha hecho ver que una de las razones de este…

The goal of this article is to present the first results of a study looking forward to propose a model of software development for a physically distributed environment (United States and Brazil). Thus, the objective is to combine empirical and…

A transmitter antenna array has the ability to direct data simultaneously to multiple receivers within a wireless network, creating potential for a more integrated view of algorithmic system components. In this thesis, such a perspective informs the design of two…
