Supporting quality learning in online discussion forums is an intricate task, particularly for e-tutors aspiring to facilitate vigorous interactive learning environments. I argue that the key to successful online discussion forums is the ability of e-tutors to provide learners with…

El pensamiento filosófico, introducido a partir de la obra de los presocráticos, particularmente de Heráclito y Jenófanes, formula unas consideraciones sobre la creación poética, las cuales discrepan de la concepción de ella como fruto de la actividad inspiradora de la…

El subcomplejo sarcoglicano-sarcospan (SG-SSPN), el cual forma parte del
complejo de proteínas asociadas a la distrofina (DGC), se encuentra
compuesto por un grupo de glicoproteínas transmembranales denominadas
sarcoglicanos (SGs; subunidades y ) y por la tetraspanina asociada de nombre

In this paper, an improvement of deformable template matching algorithm for polygonal objects in grayscale images using two-dimensional deformable templates along orthogonal curves is presented. In the process of pre-computing extensions of the deformable template along orthogonal curves, the novel…

This report develops a conceptual framework in which to talk about mathematical knowledge. There are several broad categories of mathematical knowledge: results which contain the traditional logical aspects of mathematics; examples which contain illustrative material; and concepts which include formal…

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,…

The concept of free as in "free group" is generalized to any first order theory. An interesting class of homomorphisms between models is discussed. Relations between model theory and abelian categories are discussed speculatively. This paper represents an incomplete study…

Se evalúa el estado de conservación de la fauna de Sauria y Amphisbaenia del Uruguay, basado en el índice propuesto por Reca et al. (1994), y se aplican las categorías propuestas por Ávila et al. (2000). Se analizaron en total…

This report describes a system which maintains canonical expressions for designators under a set of equalities. Substitution is used to maintain all knowledge in terms of these canonical expressions. A partial order on designators, termed the better-name relation, is used…
