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…

Lucilia nitens is a herb used in folk medicine for treating diarrhoea and popularly called in Brazil "erva-pombinha". Aiming to expand the knowledge on this medicinal plant, this work has dealt with anatomical analysis of the leaf and stem for…

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.…

This study attempts to conceptualise the right to forget/be forgotten along with building a theoretical foundation of this individual’s right and validating the social importance of establishing the right, which is characterised as a nearly fundamental human right to protect…

The South American giant short-faced bear (Arctotherium angustidens Gervais and Ameghino, 1880) is one of five described Arctotherium species endemic to South America and it is known for being the earliest, largest, and most carnivorous member of the genus. Here…

Robots have become usual collaborators in our daily life. While robotic systems grow to be more and more complex, the need to engineering their software development process grows as well. Traditional approaches that are used in the development process of…

Inheritance is one of the most important object-oriented mechanisms, allowing code reuse and a conceptual hierachical modelling of a given domain.
However, as a white-box reuse mechanism, it introduces hidden (implicit) coupling between classes in a hierarchy. This problem makes…

Dentro de la antropología y la identificación forense, la aproximación facial (también conocida como "reconstrucción facial") se presenta frecuentemente como un hecho consumado, con evidencia mínima de las investigaciones y los métodos usados para alcanzar los resultados. Este trabajo presenta…

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…

The information in this chapter is the result of a research carried out between 2001 and 2005 on Mbya Guarani communities in the province of Misiones (Argentina) focused on the study of health – illness processes in the first stages…
