Different studies provide evidence that the computational psycholinguistic algorithm called Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) allows measuring local and global coherence in texts similarly to human evaluation (Foltz, Kintsch, ...

A constraint satisfaction problem requires a value, selected from a given finite domain, to be assigned to each variable in the problem, so that all constraints relating the variables are satisfied. The main feature of any ...

We experimentally study the variance of the transverse displacement (wandering) of a laser beam after it has traveled through indoor artificially convective turbulence. In a previous paper (Opt. Comm., Vol. 242, No 1-3, ...

In the present work, by means of a phenomenological model, we simulate the hysteresis loop of an hexagonal array of Ni nanowires. Our model is based on the assumption that the hysteresis loop of a single wire is a rectangular ...

During a 16 months period, the characteristics of the wastewaters generated in a Rias Baixas winery (Spain) producing white wine were determined: The characterization study showed that white wine wastewater had an average ...

Given the marked seasonality of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) production, it can be profitable to extend the harvest period and consequently prolong the sales period. Possible solutions for this are the use of different ...

In this paper, a nonlinear additive autoregressive model combined with multiscale stationary wavelet transform is used to improve the accuracy and parsimony of one-monthahead forecasting of monthly anchovy catches in ...

In this paper, we focus on the resolution of Set Partitioning Problem. We try to solve it with Ant Colony Optimization algorithms and Hybridizations of Ant Colony Optimization with Constraint Programming techniques. We ...

This study investigates a mathematical modeling approach to the formulation of treatment strategies for rapid-progressors to AIDS (RPs), who experience a considerably faster progression than other patients and constitute ...

Many Function Point (FP) technique adaptations have been proposed to estimate object-oriented software development projects. However, most research works propose rules to identify FP according previous versions of the FP ...
