The purpose of this paper is to develop the GIS educational environment in training program using open-source GIS software. First, we have verified the substitutability of laboratory exercise materials at our university from commercial GIS to open-source GIS software. Next, we grasp the improvement situation of the free spatial data that are opened to the public by the government and present th...

The task of gene identification frequently confronting researchers working with both novel and well studied genomes can be conveniently and reliably solved with the help of the GeneMark web software (http://opal.biology.gatech.edu/GeneMark/). The website provides interfaces to the GeneMark family of programs designed and tuned for gene prediction in prokaryotic, eukaryotic and viral genomic seq...

We aim at doing basic research on the theoretical foundations on how to build reliable, safe, and fast software systems, and developing tools that make the construction and maintenance of such systems easier. The theoretical questions taken up are related to algorithms, exception safety, and memory management, among other things, and the practical implementation calls for tools to test that com...

Program analysis tools used in software maintenance must be robust and ought to be accurate. Many data-driven parsing approaches developed for natural languages are robust and have quite high accuracy when applied to parsing of software. We show this for the programming languages Java, C/C++, and Python. Further studies indicate that post-processing can almost completely remove the remaining er...

introduction: mass media influence the health behaviors of adolescents. evidence shows that traditional strategies such as censorship or limitation are no longer efficient; therefore, teaching media literacy is the best way to protect adolescents from harmful effects. the aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of a media literacy training program on knowledge and behavioral intenti...

The objective of this study was to develop an educational software program for nursing continuing education. This program was intended to incorporate applied methodological research that used the learning management system methodology created by Galvis Panqueva in association with contextualized instructional design for software design. As a result of this study, we created a computerized educa...
