When users search for information in a web site, sometimes they do not get what they want.
Assuming that the scope where the search take place works fine, there are some problems caused by the way the user interact with…

Ontology mapping involves the task of finding similarities among overlapping sources by using ontologies. In a Federated System in which distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous information sources must be integrated, ontologies have emerged as tools to solve semantic heterogeneity problems. In…

Este estudio analiza las diferencias en la integración de extranjeros viviendo
en intra e interétnicas parejas en Alemania. La teoría de la distancia social
asume que los migrantes que forman parte de una pareja mixta estarán mejor
integrados o, al…

La noción de formularios como una manera de organizar y presentar datos ha sido usada desde el comienzo de la World Wide Web. Los formularios web han evolucionado junto con el desarrollo de nuevos lenguajes de marcado, en los cuales…

Vertical partitioning, in which attributes of a relation are
assigned to partitions, is aimed at improving database
performance. We extend previous research that is based on
a single relation to multi-relation database environment,
by including referential integrity constraints, access time

This paper is an attempt to define how a
specific data structure might be used to
store, in a persistent manner, temporal
information during a computer simulation.
In particular, it considers the sort of
temporal information generated during a
discrete…

Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with unstructured data sources. In this paper we propose a new pivot-based method for similarity search, called Sparse Spatial Selection (SSS).
The main characteristic of this method is that it…

The metric spaces model formalizes the similarity search concept in nontraditional databases. The goal is to build an index designed to save distance computations when answering similarity queries later. A large class of algorithms to build the index are based…

Se realizó el estudio termoanalítico del atenolol puro y de comprimidos comerciales utilizando técnicas de termogravimetría (TG) y calorimetría diferencial de barrido (DSC). El método no isotérmico fue empleado para determinar los datos cinéticos del proceso de descomposición. Para evaluar…

In situ hybridization (ISH) method allows to reveal specific genes expression, identify specific cell types and detect areas or tissues, displaying differential gene expression. This work describes a standardized procedure of digital image processing that allows detailed analyses of ISH…
