Revisión tecnológica del aprendizaje de idiomas asistido por ordenador: una perspectiva cronológica
El presente artículo aborda la evolución y el
avance de las tecnologías del aprendizaje de
lenguas asistido por ordenador (CALL por sus
siglas en inglés, que corresponden a Computer-
Assisted Language Learning) desde una perspectiva
histórica. Esta revisión de la literatura sobre
tecnologías del aprendizaje de lenguas asistido
por ordenador comienza con la definición del
concepto de CALL y otros términos relacionados,
entre los que podemos destacar CAI, CAL,
CALI, CALICO, CALT, CAT, CBT, CMC o
CMI, para posteriormente analizar las primeras
iniciativas de implementación del aprendizaje
de lenguas asistido por ordenador en las décadas
de 1950 y 1960, avanzando posteriormente a
las décadas de las computadoras centrales y las
microcomputadoras. En última instancia, se
revisan las tecnologías emergentes en el siglo XXI,
especialmente tras la irrupción de Internet, donde
se presentan el impacto del e-learning, b-learning,
las tecnologías de la Web 2.0, las redes sociales
e incluso el aprendizaje de lenguas asistido por
robots.The main focus of this paper is on the advancement
of technologies in Computer-Assisted Language
Learning (CALL) from a historical perspective.
The review starts by defining CALL and its related
terminology, highlighting the first CALL attempts
in 1950s and 1960s, and then moving to other
decades of mainframes and microcomputers.
At the final step, emerging technologies in 21st
century will be reviewed

An overview of decision table literature 1982-1995.
This report gives an overview of the literature on decision tables over the past 15 years. As much as possible, for each reference, an author supplied abstract, a number of keywords and a classification are provided. In some cases own comments are added. The purpose of these comments is to show where, how and why decision tables are used. The literature is classified according to application area, theoretical versus practical character, year of publication, country or origin (not necessarily country of publication) and the language of the document. After a description of the scope of the interview, classification results and the classification by topic are presented. The main body of the paper is the ordered list of publications with abstract, classification and comments.
Serverification of Molecular Modeling Applications: the Rosetta Online Server that Includes Everyone (ROSIE)
The Rosetta molecular modeling software package provides experimentally
tested and rapidly evolving tools for the 3D structure prediction and
high-resolution design of proteins, nucleic acids, and a growing number of
non-natural polymers. Despite its free availability to academic users and
improving documentation, use of Rosetta has largely remained confined to
developers and their immediate collaborators due to the code's difficulty of
use, the requirement for large computational resources, and the unavailability
of servers for most of the Rosetta applications. Here, we present a unified web
framework for Rosetta applications called ROSIE (Rosetta Online Server that
Includes Everyone). ROSIE provides (a) a common user interface for Rosetta
protocols, (b) a stable application programming interface for developers to add
additional protocols, (c) a flexible back-end to allow leveraging of computer
cluster resources shared by RosettaCommons member institutions, and (d)
centralized administration by the RosettaCommons to ensure continuous
maintenance. This paper describes the ROSIE server infrastructure, a
step-by-step 'serverification' protocol for use by Rosetta developers, and the
deployment of the first nine ROSIE applications by six separate developer
teams: Docking, RNA de novo, ERRASER, Antibody, Sequence Tolerance,
Supercharge, Beta peptide design, NCBB design, and VIP redesign. As illustrated
by the number and diversity of these applications, ROSIE offers a general and
speedy paradigm for serverification of Rosetta applications that incurs
negligible cost to developers and lowers barriers to Rosetta use for the
broader biological community. ROSIE is available at

Realization of the stiffness matrix of statically indeterminate trusses and 20 bar sensitivity penalty method using Mathcad
This paper examines the stiffness matrix of two-dimensional statically indeterminate truss structures. Using Mathcad, a stiffness matrix analysis of a truss problem is completed as a template for other sorts of problems. This allows learners to understand the stiffness matrix theory and rapidly acquire the basic concepts of analysis theory. As is shown in the example, the transformation of the matrix is apparent and the overall structure of the stiffness matrix can be easily constructed. Unknown reactions and member forces caused by unknown displacement were calculated as well. In addition, the problem of the 20 bar boundary condition sensitivity penalty method explained in the example 2 for structure analysis. Although this process is difficult to acquire due to complex procedures, it is beneficial for students because they can check for errors using Mathcad.
