El objetivo fue identificar el conocimiento y control del vector (Triatoma infestans) transmisor de la enfermedad de Chagas en comunidades guaraníes de Bolivia, conocido como vinchuca. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo de una serie de 98 casos mediante cuestionario…

El presente trabajo intenta profundizar el conocimiento acerca de las estrategias de subsistencia y los patrones de asentamiento de los grupos aborígenes guaraní mby’á del valle de Cuñapirú (provincia de Misiones) utilizando la etnoarqueología y la zooarqueología como metodologías de…

In this paper we present different error measurements with the aim to evaluate the quality of the approximations generated by the GNG3D method for mesh simplification. The first phase of this method consists on the execution of the GNG3D algorithm,…

El bombardeo constante en producción, diferenciación e idoneidad de tipos de apósitos al que se ha sometido en las dos últimas décadas el mundo de las heridas por parte de la industria hace necesario y obligatorio por parte del personal…

Knowledge acquisition for systems based on knowledge can be called knowledge engineering, according to Feigenbaum (1980) who used the term to describe the reduction of a wide context of knowledge for a set of facts and rules. The term Knowledge…

Current methods for bipedal walking control include playback of recorded joint motion and the derivation of dynamic equations to map desired forces at the body to the required torques at the joints. Both methods require a significant amount of up-front…

The objective of the experiments described in this thesis is to perform a detailed spectroscopic study of the dynamics on the A and X state surfaces of 13C2H2 in order to further understand the acetylene - vinylidene isomerization process in…

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.…

We develop a theory to explain the transition from stagnation to modern growth. We focus on the forces that shaped the evolution of total factor productivity in agriculture and manufacturing across history. More specifically, we build a multisector model of…

La crisis del pensar atraviesa casi todas las categorías fundantes
de la modernidad. El paradigma, como sistema de signifi caciones, ya parece
no servir para dar respuestas y Lanz (2005) se pregunta si será posible pensar
sin esta categoría. Este…
