Cognitive approaches to teaching generate learning through the interaction between the subject and object of study. One of the strategies to create this interaction is related to the application of virtual and augmented reality...
Studies concerning Big Data patents have been published; however, research investigating Big Data projects is scarce. Therefore, the objective of this study was to conduct an exploratory analysis of a patent database to collect...
Fog computing is a decentralized computer system where data, processing, storage, as well as applications are located anywhere between the cloud and data source. Fog computing takes the cloud closer to users, decreasing the...
This paper reports on the usage of the Spanish subjunctive in televised media. Silva-Corvahin (1994) and Lavandera (1983) have researched the subjunctive extensively though without consideration of the language as used on...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by selective death of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the midbrain and motor function impairment. Gastrointestinal issues often precede motor deficits in PD, indicating that the gut-brain...
Early detection of breast cancer is critical to improve treatment efficiency and chance of cure. Mammography is the main method for breast cancer screening; however, it has some limitations. Infrared thermography is a technique...

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body and serves many functions, from mechanical stability and elasticity in tendons and bone, to optical properties, such as transparency and a fine tuned refractive index in...
Structural capital is one of the components of intellectual capital. The measurement is essential in order to obtain the real value of intellectual capital and its influence on the profitability of the business. The measurement...
This essay will especially consider the role of the cogitative power and affectivity in the formation of vocal utterances, showing how the Thomistic account of the integration of passion with reason provides a fascinating...
Exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy during a magnetic resonance imaging exam is a safety concern related to biological thermal effects. Estimation of the specific absorption rate (SAR) is done by manufacturer scanner...
This research aims to evaluate the degree of customer satisfaction of the nightclubs with the security guards, as well as the perception of their professionalism in performing their duties. Using survey data from 479 nightclubs...
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) require a combination of organizational and individual skills to grow more rapidly in international markets. The question is whether there is an ideal combination to compete in the present...
Internet of Things (IoT) is a constantly growing paradigm that promises to revolutionize healthcare applications and could be associated with several other techniques. Data prediction is another widely used paradigm, where data...
The use of system dynamics techniques to model the sales and operations planning (S&OP), associated with the economic and financial processes, is an innovative proposal. The objectives of this article are to model and simulate...
Decision makers are exposed to an increasing amount of information. Algorithms can help people make better data-driven decisions. Previous research has focused on both companies’ orientation towards analytics use and the...
This work presents a new approach to the learning path model in e-learning systems. The model uses data from the database records from an e-learning system and uses graphs as representation. In this work, the authors show how...
The day-to-day lives of humans are changing remarkably due to the evolution in tools, techniques and technology across the planet. This evolution is not only impacting the growth of humans but also contributing to the growth and...
