Age-related transformations make the elderly more susceptible to medicine adverse events, and knowledge of factors associated with drug use are essential to develop national strategies of prescription. To estimate the prevalence of use of antihypertensive and hypoglycemic agents and investigate…

In contemporary organizations, it is common to encounter teams that are formed to create novel outcomes and that are supported by Information Communication Technologies (ICT). These knowledge teams are also formed by members with diverse expertise, in order to create…

This paper describes the overall architecture of Episteme, a tool for the development of efficient LFG-based MT systems following the classical transfer approach. The
system incorporates a series of novel computational techniques which enhance the overall performance significantly: representation, storage…

This empirical study investigates the type of knowledge the NGOs (Non-Governmental Organisations) transfer to the beneficiaries in Bangladesh.  About 22,000 NGOs are in operations in Bangladesh with a view to developing the socio-economic conditions of their beneficiaries. Knowledge transfer is…

The program described here takes as its input a collection of lines, vertices and surfaces describing a scene, and analyzes the scene into a composition of three-dimensional objects. The program does not need to know the form (model, or pattern)…

Este trabajo propone un modelo declarativo para el modelado de sistemas de gestión
de diálogo. La estrategia propuesta se basa en una división funcional del sistema de gestión en
cuatro niveles: especificación, interfaz de usuario, representación y ejecución; cada uno…

The complexity and variety of possible behaviours of the quaternary liquid-liquid, liquid-liquid-solid equilibrium at constant temperature and pressure and the ternary isobaric or isothermal liquid-liquid-vapor equilibria are very high and, sometimes, the phase equilibria diagrams appear incomplete and not clearly…

Design and optimization of distillation columns for ethanol dehydration, using a hydrocarbon as entrainer, implies a good knowledge of vapor-liquid (VLE), liquid-liquid (LLE) and vapor-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE). Chemical process simulation programs always require the use of a thermodynamic model that…

The Operational Security Network Code will provide the basis on European Union level for the power system to function with a satisfactory level of security and quality of supply, as well as efficient utilization of infrastructure and resources. It requires…

Continued advances in the semiconductor industry will require the introduction of new materials and processes concurrent with shrinking device dimensions. These simultaneous demands drastically reduce margins for error and necessitate an increasingly quantitative understanding of semiconductor processes. Leaders of the…
