This paper analyses the change in metanarrative of Alien franchise initiated by movie (1979), directed Ridley Scott, and continued with a series three sequels. The was revived 2012 prequel Prometheus. story first four movies is set at end anthropocene, it deals horror alien life forms, offering an evolutionist approach to development human species. However, revival Prometheus changed from evolu...

Secreted Wnt proteins control a diverse array of developmental decisions. A recent analysis of the zebrafish mutant prometheus points to a previously unknown role for Wnts during liver specification.

Model-driven engineering (MDE), implicitly based upon meta-model principles, is gaining more and more attention in software systems due to its inherent benefits. Its use normally improves the quality of the developed systems in terms of productivity, portability, inter-operability and maintenance. Therefore, its exploitation for the development of multi-agent systems (MAS) emerges in a natural ...

La mayoría de los ambientes virtuales de aprendizaje actuales, no presentan características de personalización de contenidos, es decir, no consideran las necesidades y gustos de los estudiantes lo que genera desinterés por parte de estos y retrasa notoriamente el proceso de aprendizaje. Otra falencia evidente en este tipo de sistemas es la incapacidad de ofrecer servicios que permitan al estudi...

This thesis is a study of different concepts of justice unfolded in Hesiod’s Works and Days. It opens with an overview of how the idea of justice is perceived in Ancient Greek times and its three authors endeavor to reconstruct it by appealing to the text. The argument is problematized by taking into account numerous concepts, such as social justice, cosmic justice, distributive justice and ret...

This paper presents the work carried out in the Prometheus project and its motivation, taxonomy. Taxonomy presents challenges to common database systems. Because of its complexity and the necessary treatments applied to its data, common database models such as the relational, the object-oriented, of even graph models are not able to support taxonomic applications fully. Our approach is the exte...

The Tactics Development Framework (TDF) is a tactics modelling application that extends the Prometheus Design Tool with tactics design patterns, plan diagrams, a mission concept, and richer goal hierarchies.

The compressible response of a thin film of liquid subjected to a rapid surface pressure pulse and isochoric nuclear heating is investigated in an attempt to determine the spallation behavior. The use of such films to protect the cavity wall of inertial confinement fusion reactors is currently envisioned. The magnitude and temporal dependence of the surface pressure impulse and nuclear heating ...
