The false recognition of distractor faces created from combinations of studied faces has been attributed to the creation of novel traces in memory, although familiarity accounts are also plausible. In 3 experiments, participants studied parent faces and then were tested with a distractor that was created by morphing 2 parents. These produced high false-alarm rates but no effects of a temporal s...

This paper gives a never completely account of approaches that have been used for the research community for representing knowledge. After underlining the importance of a layered approach and the use of standards, it starts with early eVorts used for artiWcial intelligence researchers. Then recent approaches, aimed mainly at the semantic web, are described. Coding examples from the literature a...

The process of electron-positron pair creation by a high-energy electron in a medium is analyzed. The spectral distribution over energies of created particles is calculated for the direct and cascade mechanisms of the process. The Coulomb corrections are included. The new formulation of the equivalent photons method is developed which takes into account the influence of multiple scattering. It ...

Linked Data today available on the Web mostly represent snapshots at particular points in time. The temporal aspect of data is mostly taken into account only by adding and removing triples to keep datasets up-to-date, thus neglecting the importance to keep track of the evolution of data over time. To overcome this limitation, we introduce the LinkHisData framework to automatize the creation and...

A relativistic string model for hadrons is presented. The center-of-mass motion is separated correctly. The vibrational and rotational motions of the string are solved by using the WKB approximation. Moreover, their decay widths are calculated by taking into account the pair creation of quarks inside the string. Both the mass spectra and the decay widths are reproduced fairly well in comparison...

Many dependencies appear between the different stages of the creation of a hypermedia presentation. These dependencies have to be taken into account while designing a system for their automatic generation. In this work we study two of them and propose some techniques to treat them. During this process, we introduce the partial design of a hypermedia formatting model that we call Hypermedia Form...

Increased competition in the telecommunication market has forced network operators and service providers to roll out new services at a much faster rate, taking under consideration user preferences. Therefore, a businessdriven service provisioning, which takes into account business-to-business relationships as well as preferences of targeted user groups, is proposed. It utilizes agent technology...

An elementary account on the chaoticity of galactic world-lines in an open universe is given. A new type of cosmic evolution by global metrical deformations, unpredicted by Einstein’s equations, is pointed out. Physical effects of this evolution are backscattering of electromagnetic fields and particle creation in quantum fields. We review in an untechnical way how global metrical deformations ...

Based on a lexicon of Portuguese MWE, this presentation focuses on an ongoing work that aims at the creation of a typology that describes these expressions taking into account their semantic, syntactic and pragmatic properties. We also plan to annotate each MWEentry in the mentioned lexicon according to the information obtained from that typology. Our objective is to create a valuable resource,...

An incremental method is presented to generate automatically boundary-®tted Delaunay triangulations of the global ocean. The method takes into account Earth curvature and allows local mesh re®nement in order to resolve topological or dynamical features like midocean ridges or western boundary currents. Crucial issues like the nodes insertion process, the boundary integrity problem or the creati...
