In this talk I review the potential of Icecube for revealing physics beyond the standard model in the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos [1].

The weakly electric fish, Gnathonemus peters;;, explores its environment by generating pulsed elecbic fields and detecting small pertwbations in the fields resulting from nearby objects. Accordingly, the fISh detects and discriminates objects on the basis of a sequence of elecbic "images" whose temporal and spatial properties depend on the timing of the fish's electric organ discharge and its b...

We construct and analyze a climate network which represents the interdependent structure of the climate in different geographical zones and find that the network responds in a unique way to El Niño events. Analyzing the dynamics of the climate network shows that when El Niño events begin, the El Niño basin partially loses its influence on its surroundings. After typically three months, this inf...

The subsumption problem in the description logic (DL) EL has been shown to be polynomial regardless of whether cyclic or acyclic TBoxes are used. Recently, it was shown that the problem remains tractable even when admitting general concept inclusion (GCI) axioms. Motivated by its nice complexity and sufficient expressiveness for some applications, we propose three decision procedures for comput...

Resumen En este trabajo se presenta el estudio de un conjunto de refactorizaciones desde el punto de vista de un lenguaje modelo. El objetivo es validar la factibilidad de llevar a cabo, sobre un framework que conceptualice las abstracciones del lenguaje modelo, las operaciones de refactorización definidas en base a dichas abstracciones. De esta manera se avanza hacia una solución al desarrollo...

Fifty-eight percent of respondents to a recent poll (http://especiales.elsalvador.com/2016/encuesta-2-aniosgestion-presidencial/)commissioned by Salvadoran newspaper El Diario de Hoy said they do not think the government's implementation of "extraordinary measures" to combat the gangs are producing good results. (See chart below) El Salvador (http://www.insightcrime.org/el-salvador-organizedcri...

El manganeso (Mn) es importante para la fotosíntesis y formación de carbohidratos solubles en la planta. La adición de Mn en la fertilización del cultivo de papa en Colombia no es común. Sin embargo, hay trabajos que demuestran que una adición de Mn tiene efectos favorables en la producción y calidad del producto, sobre todo en zonas con bajos contenidos nativos de este nutriente. Una mejora en...

The least common subsumer (lcs) w.r.t general EL-TBoxes does not need to exists in general due to cyclic axioms. In this paper we present an algorithm for computing role-depth bounded EL-lcs based on the completion algorithm for EL. We extend this computation algorithm to a recently introduced probabilistic variant of EL: Prob-EL.

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle is often blamed for disasters in Pacific island communities. From a disaster risk reduction (DRR) perspective, the challenges with the El Niño part of the ENSO cycle, in particular, are more related to inadequate vulnerability reduction within development than to ENSO-induced hazard influences. This paper analyses this situation, filling in a concep...
