The studies of anatomy and physiology are fundamental ingredients of medical education. This paper identifies six ways in which such functional knowledge serves as the underpinnings for general medical reasoning, and outlines the design of a computational model of common…

Argumentative formalisms have been widely recognized as knowledge representation and reasoning tools able to deal with incomplete and potentially contradictory informa- tion. All such formalisms are computationally demanding. Hence, optimizing argumen- tative systems has been approached from di erent views.

L’article presenta l’evolució històrica en l’estudi del fenomen ENSO. Aquest event,
que en principi només semblava produir repercusions destacables a la regió litoral de
Perú i Equador, ha passat a ser considerat como un dels paràmetres més sòlids per

//// Abstract: My purpose in this essay is to bring to light the role played by experience in the justification process of empirical knowledge. Contemporary debate is dominated by two antagonistic sides: on one extreme we have the foundationalist empiricists…

The aim of this work is to study an argumentation-based formalism that an agent could use for constructing plans. Elsewhere we have introduced a formalism for agents to represent knowledge about their environment in Defeasible Logic Programming, and a set…

El periodismo científico en América Latina: de la Modernización a la globalización (años 1950-2000) es una investigación documental crítica sobre el nacimiento y evolución de esta especialidad periodística en Latinoamérica, en el contexto de las teorías políticas y económicas en…

En el artículo se reflexiona de forma crítica acerca de la reciente generalización de la idea
que considera la geografía aplicada y la profesionalización de esta ciencia como un camino

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.…

Cultural resources like traditional medicinal knowledge need to be recognized in their role tied to important regional practices in Zimbabwe. This is especially as a nexus of legal definitions for biological, intellectual and cultural resources will inform a National Sui…

This dissertation addresses the issues pertaining to composite products (CPs). CPs are defined as products formed by combining knowledge from two distinct domains, for example, digital cameras, which combine knowledge from digital products and cameras. The three research questions addressed…
