This paper addresses some lexical issues in the development of XUNL - a knowledge representation language descendent from and alternative to the Universal Networking Language (UNL). We present the current structure and the role of Universal Words (UW) in UNL…

Indigenous knowledge and the millenary experience in management of natural vegetation on karstic landscapes are important aspects that should be considered in animal production in seasonal tropical environments. The aim of the present work was to make an inventory of…

We report additional records for the Crested Guan (Penelope purpurascens) in several locations in the Sierra Norte and Sierra Negra, Puebla, and the Sierra de Juarez, Oaxaca. These records are based on images from camera traps, direct and indirect observations…

Accurate quantitative analysis with particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) requires an accurate knowledge of the X-ray production cross sections, in particular the L lines. While there are a lot of experimental results, recent reviews have found a disagreement between several…

The efficient identification of hardware and software faults in parallel and distributed systems still remains a challenge in today's most prolific decentralized environments. System-level fault diagnosis is concerned with the detection of all faulty nodes in a set of hundreds…

A parametric method to carry out fringe pattern demodulation by means of a particle swarm optimization is presented. The phase is approximated by the parametric estimation of an «th-grade polynomial so that no further unwrapping is required. A particle swarm…

OBJECTIVE: To examine knowledge of and self-treatment with antibiotics among medically-insured adults in Mexico. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional, interviewer-administered survey among 101 adult patients seeking care for acute respiratory tract infections in a family medicine clinic in…

The necessity of verification tools for Knowledge Based-Systems (KBSs), that help to guarantee a certain degree of quality and reliability of these systems will increase in the future when more critical systems are developed in areas such as industry, science,…

Translation capability of a Phrase-Based Statistical Machine Translation (PBSMT) system mostly depends on parallel data and phrases that are not present in the training data are not correctly translated. This paper describes a method that efflciently expands the existing knowledge…

In this paper, we propose semantic enterprise search as promising technical methodology for improving on accessibility to institutional knowledge. We briefly discuss the nature of knowledge and ignorance in respect to web-based information retrieval before introducing our particular view on…
