The great variety of excipients to which we have access thanks the globalization gives rise to the necessity to evaluate their functionality, currently the pharmaceutical performance of croscarmellose and carmacel as tab...

Functionality-specific vulnerabilities, which mainly occur in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with specific functionalities, are crucial for software developers to detect and avoid. When detecting individual fu...

A strategy based on reticulating metal ions and organic carboxylate links into extended networks has been advanced to a point that allowed the design of porous structures in which pore size and functionality could be var...

Abstract Whereas much of organic chemistry has classically dealt with the preparation and study of the properties of individual molecules, an increasingly significant portion of the activity in chemical research involves...

This book presents the contents of an introduction course to Computer Science for engineering disciplines where the engineer makes use of the computer not only as an "office tool" but also as an integral part of his desi...

Artículo de publicación ISI Context. Thermal emission by stochastically heated dust grains (SHGs) plays an important role in the radiative transfer (RT) problem for a dusty medium. It is therefore essential to verify ...

"A detailed, comprehensive mathematical model for bulk polymerization of styrene using multifunctional initiators - both linear and cyclic - in a batch reactor was developed. The model is based on a kinetic mechanism tha...

"The performance of three multifunctional peroxide initiators in a bulk high impact polystyrene (HIPS) process was experimentally and theoretically investigated. For the experimental work, a series of batch reactions was...

Xylans are essential components of wood cell walls, composed of β-(1 → 4)-linked d-xylopyranosyl units with diverse substitutions, including 4-O-methyl-α-D-glucuronic acid. Industrial pruning of Moringa oleifera gene...

"New advances in the mathematical modeling of the bulk continuous high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) process are presented. The model consists of three modules that allow the simulation of: (1) a polymerization reactor train...

Domotics systems are intelligent systems for houses and apartments to control several issues as security and light or climate devices. In this work we present the development of an economic domotic system to control diff...

This paper describes an approach to On Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), expresed in the declarative programming paradigm. We define a collection of functions that capture some of the functionality currently provided b...

The need for improving software processes approximated the software engineering and artificial intelligence areas. Artificial intelligence techniques have been used as a support to software development processes, particu...

At present, the early phase of Requirements Engineering is a new research area in the Software Engineering field. This phase is concerned with the analysis of the organizational context in which a software system will be...

In the last years software researchers have been looking for ways of assembling systems in a style of software construction similar to “LEGO blocks”. Software components are reusable building blocks for constructing ...

This paper sets out to provide a highly automated mechanism for an undo process that can be easily built into a new or existing system. Our proposal is based on the observation that it is not necessary to store the state...

The appearance and continuous growth of virtual communities on the web imposes the challenge of coping with the large amount of information and knowledge these communities produce. The Semantic Web with its set of standa...

In this thesis, a novel approach to automatically install threaded inserts into additive manufactured parts is developed and validated. Such an approach is highly relevant in the context of process automation and product...

There are some concepts, such as synchronization, error checking, distribution, security, and others, that are dissimilar from the basic functionality of a system, and they are not correct encapsulated when using traditi...

The main objective of this paper centers on reviewing the evolution of Decision Support System´s (DSS) architectures, particularly as they apply to natural resources. Today it is difficult to conceive the existence of a...

Different types of middleware exist to facilitate the integration of software running on heterogeneous computing platforms. Message Oriented Middleware (MOM), for instance, enables the interaction between heterogeneous a...

Software engineering has entered a new era, the Internet and its associated technologies require a different conceptual framework for building and understanding software solutions. Users ask to develop applications more...

"Unmanned networked multirobot systems have the potential to accomplish complex field tasks with minimum human intervention. Motion coordination of vehicles that operate in different domains (land, sea, air) is one of th...

Object-oriented frameworks are, perhaps, the most important reuse technology today available. This is so, because they enable the reuse of both code and design. However, the effective use of frameworks to instantiate new...
