Organizations must establish processes for managing knowledge across boundaries because of the specialized and task-dependent forms of knowledge required to deliver products and services. To address this challenge an integrative framework is developed that identifies and integrates the value of…

This paper describes the implantation of a KA tool kit for use with sublanguage-specific corpora. The key idea of KA as an evolutionary process is discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to the system's attempt to avoid the pitfalls…

Requirements acquisition is one of the most important and least well supported parts of the software development process. The Requirements Apprentice (RA) will assist a human analyst in the creation and modification of software requirements. Unlike current requirements analysis tools,…

Diagnosis is an important process in patient care. A suitable diagnosis helps a physician determine a precise treatment. Physicians also have a tendency to seek collaboration from other colleagues and expert systems for better confidence in their decision. The sources…

We report the creation of strained silicon on silicon (SSOS) substrate technology. The method uses a relaxed SiGe buffer as a template for inducing tensile strain in a Si layer, which is then bonded to another Si handle wafer. The…

We address the problem of integrating objects from a source taxonomy into a master taxonomy. This problem is not only pervasive on the nowadays web, but also important to the emerging semantic web. A straightforward approach to automating this process…

Several epidemiological and intervention studies have been performed in Mexico in order to evaluate control strategies against Taenia solium cysticercosis. Epidemiological questionnaires and immunodiagnostic assays indicate that the main risk factor for acquiring cysticercosis is the tapeworm carrier. Two control…

Research on cysticercosis has gained much interest in many countries, epidemiology, especially, has been thoroughly studied in Latin American. The review of the information gathered from these studies allows suggesting that the knowledge of the epidemiology of cysticercosis may be…

Problematic aspects of intercultural communication are considered in the context of: an increasingly internationalized market for higher education; the globalization of knowledge; the compatibility of distinct national higher education cultures; and the capacity for successful cross-cultural cooperation. This is exemplified…

We explore, in increasing complexity, various strategies for addressing the Multi-
Armed Bandit Problem in order to find the algorithm that maximizes the clickthrough
rate in the Exploration and Exploitation Challenge 3 competition. The data used
result from the actions…
