Tutorial dialogue has been the subject of increasing attention in recent years, and it has become evident that empirical studies of human-human tutorial dialogue can contribute important insights to the design of computational models of dialogue. Students with particular characteristics may have specific dialogue profiles, and knowledge of such profiles could inform the design of tutorial dialo...

 Dental implants, as a result of their excellent success rates and advantages over fixed or removable methods, have become the optimal treatment for replacing missing teeth. Surgical and restorative techniques that can reduce the loss of hard and soft tissues that often accompany implant placement are desirable. Achieving an esthetic outcome in tooth replacement and implant treatment requires a...

The areal extent and spatial distribution of evergreen forests in the tropical zones are important for the study of climate, carbon cycle and biodiversity. However, frequent cloud cover in the tropical regions makes mapping evergreen forests a challenging task. In this study we developed a simple and novel mapping algorithm that is based on the temporal profile analysis of Land Surface Water In...

Demand side management is a promising alternative to offer flexibility power systems with high shares of variable renewable energy sources. Numerous industries possess large demand potentials but accounting for them in system analysis and modelling restricted by the availability their data, which are usually confidential. In this study, methodology synthetize anonymized hourly electricity consu...

Our research concerns teaching assistant systems. It deals with the question of reuse and exploitation of learners profiles by the different actors of the learning situation; teacher, learner, families, institution or scientist. This paper first describes the difficulties linked to the reuse of heterogeneous existing learners profiles. Then, REPro, a learners profiles m...
