Odisea: Discurso y Narrativa, by Graciela Zecchin de Fasano, is the most sophisticated and convincing interpretation known to me concerning the varied and complex roles played by direct speech in Homer’s epic. In this wide-ranging and lucidly written work, Dra.…

The glacigenic boulders from the Hirnantian Don Braulio Formation of the Argentine Precordillera contain a well preserved shelly fauna allowing to a better knowledge of brachiopods and bivalves, but gastropods remain undescribed. The purpose of this paper is to give…

Although South America lost more megafaunal genera than any other continent during the Late-Quaternary Extinction event (LQE), little is known about the chronology, causes or dynamics of these extinctions, especially in the northern part of the continent. Fossil deposits in…

In these days most robotic systems tend to be complex to maintain and reuse because existing frameworks are based mainly on code-driven approaches. This means the software development process is reduced to the implementation of systems using specific programming languages.…

La Plata National University is making a great effort to support and encourage scientific, technologic and artistic research and innovation, maintaining its quality, as well as the development and knowledge transference that benefit society and generate new scientific, technologic and…

This paper aims to clarify an economic mechanism behind the growing dichotomy between geo-economics and the borderless global knowledge economy. The proposed hypothesis is that geo-economic fault-lines, which are the product of the past prejudices of racial, linguistic, and cultural…

A re-design process implies dealing with complex interactions between stakeholders, especially if we are talking about a personalization re-engineered process, which can be applied to an existing web application. In this context, knowledge becomes a main factor of influence, but…

Our research project intends to build knowledge about HPC problems to be able to help local researchers. In the general case, researchers who consult us do not own the sources to the parallel programs they run. In order to advise…

Ontology integration is the problem of combining data sources in the SemanticWeb. Concepts in source ontologies are captured in terms of concepts de ned in a global ontology. When some of these ontologies are inconsistent, the knowledge engineer often has…

Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are merely blind search algorithms, which only make use of the relative fitness of solutions, but completely ignore the nature of the problem. Their performance can be improved by using new multirecombinative approaches, which provide a good…
