Abstract Mapping the susceptibility of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction at continental scale is a challenge. Susceptibility soils to tendency certain geomaterials undergo severe stiffness degradation and loss shear strength. The latter could be induced by cyclic loading seismic events. surface evidence local phenomenon, detailed geotechnical field investigations are not available for region...

Concept mapping allows learners to visually represent their knowledge by connecting nodes (concepts) and links (relations between concepts). The kit-build (KB) concept map framework enhances this process enabling recompose a from provided links, leading improved learning outcomes. Additionally, KB employs an automatic assessment method called “Full Map Scoring (FMS)”, which evaluates the learne...

Most current accounts of color word acquisition propose that the delay between children’s first production of color words and adult-like understanding is due to problems abstracting color as a domain of meaning. Here we present evidence against this hypothesis, and show that, from the time children produce color words in a labeling task they use them to represent color. In Experiment 1, an ...

Ontology mapping negotiation aims to achieve consensus among real-world entities about the process of transforming information between different models (ontologies). This paper describes a novel approach for ontology mapping negotiation, in which agents representing the real-world entities are able to achieve consensus among agents, about the mapping rules defined between two different ontologi...
