The effects of human loads on structures are difficult to predict because they depend on the type of activity people are performing. However, models for typical activities such as standing, sitting and jumping have been ...

Although moraine dams are inherently prone to failure because of their often weak structure, loose internal composition and lack of an engineered spillway, the understanding of dam breaching processes remains largely inc...

This paper shows a modeling and developing methodology for mobile web applications using the MDA (Model Driver Architecture) approach. It´s based on a conservative extension of UML allowing modeling with any existing to...

Most current speech recognition systems use hidden Markov models (HMMs) to deal with the temporal variability of speech and Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) to determine how well each state of each HMM fits a frame or a sh...

Se asume que el lector ya tiene conocimientos previos de un lenguaje de modelado conceptual y de bases de datos relacionales. En este libro se aborda la problemática y la multiplicidad que supone obtener un esquema rela...

La presente documentación puede servir como guía para todas aquellas personas que quieran formarse en el ámbito de la ingeniería del software. Más concretamente, su objetivo principal es explicar cómo debe realizar...

La metodología BIM (Building Information Modeling), el Gemelo Digital y el Big Data son conceptos que han irrumpido en los nuevos procesos de desarrollo y modelización de proyectos de edificación y obra civil. La apli...

Este libro le ayudará a saber en qué consiste y cómo trabajar con el programa Revit Architecture. Se trata de un software que admite un flujo de trabajo de BIM (Building Information Modeling) y permite al usuario mode...

Transatlantic Landscapes: Environmental Awareness, Literature and the Arts considers culture as an outcome of nature as its fundamental principle. The biosemiotic suggestion that life itself is a process of signification...

Divorce has long been considered one of the most pervading stressful life events and has consistently been associa- ted with high stress levels and subsequent poorer mental- and physical health. This study evaluates the ...

The flightless weevils Naupactus leucoloma and N. xanthographus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Naupactini), which are native to and partially co-distributed in South America, apparently have asexual and bisexual reproductiv...

Lamivudine (3TC) is an antiviral drug used to treat Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) in humans with a vastly demonstrated clinical efficacy. However the rapid emergence of resistant viral strains limits its effi...

This paper explores the many aspects of precipitation measurement that are relevant to providing an accurate global assessment of this important environmental parameter. Methods discussed include ground data, satellite e...

This work presents an open source web environment to learn GPSS language in Modeling and Simulation courses. With this environment, students build their models by selecting entities and configuring them instead of progra...

En los últimos años ha tomado relevancia la necesidad de mejorar el proceso de desarrollo de software. Surgieron paradigmas como MDE (por sus siglas en inglés, Model Driven Engineering) [2], que promueven el uso efici...

La cuenca del Río Guayas es considerada como la zona de mayor producción agrícolaganadera del Ecuador, por tanto su estudio es importante para tener una producción sustentable y sostenible en el tiempo. Su área abar...

The mass and energy transfer during osmotic microwave drying (OD-MWD) process was studied theoretically by modeling and numerical simulation. With the aim to describe the transport phenomena that occurs during the combin...
