In the Río de la Plata grasslands (RPG) biogeographical region of South America, agricultural activities have undergone important changes during the last 15–18 years because of technological improvements and new national and international market conditions. We characterized changes in the landscape structure between 1985–1989 and 2002–2004 for eight pilot areas distributed across the main regio...

In studies that use electronic health record data, imputation of important data elements such as Glycated hemoglobin (A1c) has become common. However, few studies have systematically examined the validity of various imputation strategies for missing A1c values. We derived a complete dataset using an incident diabetes population that has no missing values in A1c, fasting and random plasma glucos...

An analysis of several role playing games indicates that player quests share common elements, and that these quests may be abstractly represented using a small expressive language. One benefit of this representation is that it can guide procedural content generation by allowing quests to be generated using this abstraction, and then later converting them into a concrete form within a game’s dom...

In previous work we have shown that grounding, while used by most (if not all) modern state-of-the-art planners, is not necessary and is sometimes even undesirable. In this paper we extend this work and present a novel forward-chaining planner that does not require grounding and can solve problem instances that are too large for current planners to handle. We achieve this by exploiting equivale...

This work provides to web users copyright protection of their Portable Document Format (PDF) documents by proposing efficient and easily implementable techniques for PDF watermarking; our techniques are based on the ideas of our recently proposed watermarking techniques for software, image, and audio, expanding thus the digital objects that can be efficiently watermarked through the use of self...

The dispatchable region of volatile renewable power generation (RPG) quantifies how much uncertainty the system can handle at a given operating point. State-of-the-art (DR) research has studied operational constraints influence DR but seldom considered effect features RPG outputs. traditional is generally described by large number boundaries, and it computationally intensive to construct. To br...

Online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic made teachers and students study separately resulting in low student enthusiasm. This aims to create a media Role-Playing Game (RPG) increase motivation. research is Research Development with Alessi & Trollip model. The population this amounted 512. sampling technique was simple random of 120 students. At alpha test stage, validated by 3 experts ...

To think that tens of millions of individuals over the world in the past thirty-five or so years have participated in improvised story telling in the fictional settings created by the roleplaying game hobby is, quite frankly, quite staggering and certainly one that will receive some small mention in cultural history of our time in the future. But how do these various published worlds stack up? ...

Um im wirtschaftlichen Wettbewerb bestehen zu können, müssen sowohl Softwareprodukte als auch In-House-Entwicklungen mit den sich ändernden Anforderungen des Marktes (z.B. Kosten, Entwicklungsgeschwindigkeit, Technologien) mithalten. Meist reicht es aus, die Softwaresysteme auf der bestehenden Plattform weiterzuentwickeln, aber was wenn der Markt für Plattformen, Programmiersprachen oder Herste...
