A review of the North American (Mexico and the United States of America) species Frankliniella aurea Moulton, 1948, was carry out herein. It is now recognized as a "species complex", since its adults show three color forms; new data about…

Se evaluó el rendimiento de
cinco índices no paramétricos de riqueza de especies (ICE, Jack1, Jack2, Chao2 y
Bootstrap) utilizando inventarios disponibles para tres grupos de vertebrados dentro de la
Reserva de Biósfera Bañados del Este, Uruguay. Los datos utilizados…

The fact that nutrition affects education outcomes is accepted by researchers and by policy makers. It is simple. Children cannot learn if they are hungry. The validity of the empirical approaches used to show a causal relationship from nutrition to…

Electronic Government applications aim to deliver efficient, seamless, customer-focused services to the public using various distribution channels. One of challenges in building such applications is the requirement to rely upon preexisting, often heterogeneous government applications. In order to enable communication…

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they can be used to improve integration…

En este trabajo se comentan algunos aspectos geométricos y
topológicos relacionados a los Politopos n-Dimensionales y tres
metodologías para su visualización: a través de sus
unravelings, a través de sus intersecciones con el espacio 3D y a
través de…

In cases of extremely imbalanced dataset with high dimensions, standard machine learning techniques tend to be overwhelmed by the large classes. This paper rebalances skewed datasets by compressing the majority class. This approach combines Vector Quantization and Support Vector Machine…

The term “Federated Databases” refers to the data integration of distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous databases. However, a federation can also include information systems, not only databases. When integrating data, several issues must be addressed. Here, we focus on the problem…

Product-line architectures, i.e. a software architecture and component set shared by a family of products, represents a promising approach to achieving reuse of software. Several companies are initiating or have recently adopted a product-line architecture. However, little experience is available…

Using COTS software promises faster time-to-market, which can yield substantial advantages over competitors with regards to earlier placement of a new product on a market. At the same time, component-based software introduces risks, such as unknown quality properties of the…
