A knowledge-based model that emulates human behavior in a Dynamic Decision Making task is proposed. The model, MAIDEN-DSF, uses a connectionist representation of knowledge and a value function to compute the best alternative. In order to validate MAIDEN-DSF, two data sets have been used: a training set and a test set that contain the behavior of participants that performed the task with differe...

We have developed techniques to automatically infer mother's maiden names from public records. We demonstrate our techniques using publicly available records from the state of Texas, and reduce the entropy of a mother's maiden name from an average of close to 13 bits down to below 6.9 bits for more than a quarter of the people targeted, and down to a zero entropy (i.e., certainty of their mothe...

This study evaluated the effect of using hydrogel in planting Eucalyptus dunnii seedlings pots, under different water-management regimens. Seedlings approximately 25 cm height were planted pots filled with 4.5 L soil. The experiment was Completely Randomized Design, a 2x3 factorial, absence and presence related to regimens (irrigation only planting, every 3 6 days). From until 47th day for symp...
