Multiple Sclerosis (MS) 1. What does MS stand for? * Multiple sclerosis 2. What is MS caused by? * Immunologic: MS is considered an immune-mediated disease as the immune system malfunctions and attacks the CNS * Genetic: Several genes are believed to play a role in MS. Your chance of developing MS is slightly higher if a close relative has the disease. If one parent has MS, the risk of their children getting the disease is estimated to be between 2% and 5%. Scientists believe

Artificial Intelligence: Watch Out! Over the years, the thought of computers becoming out equal or taking over has been a major concern. The procedural knowledge that is programmed into machines, such as computers and robots, is known as artificial intelligence. In “The AI Revolution is On,” Steven Levy describes artificial intelligence as machines that do “human-like tasks in ways that people never could” using skills that are programmed into them without “re-creating the brain” (210). Although

structure of chemical compounds. Its primary aim was to help organic chemists in identifying unknown organic molecules, by analyzing their mass spectra and using knowledge of chemistry. 2. MYCIN MYCIN is an early expert system that used artificial intelligence to identify bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis and to recommend antibiotics, with the dosage adjusted for patient's body weight. Its expertise lies in the domain of bacterial Infections. It was developed

A Report On “RESEARCH METHODS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE” Submitted by Nitish Ashok Shinde (5210) ME Comp- I 2nd shift Introduction Computer Science has proved its importance in various domains of science like natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and cultural science [1]. Computer science (CS) characterized as an empirical discipline, in which each new program can be seen as an experiment, the structure and behavior of which can be studied [2]. The term Information and Communication

Did the aliens appear to have behaviors and mannerisms specific to their culture? Yes, the aliens did have behaviors and mannerisms specific to their culture. Once the interview scenario with the alien family was completed, some of the characteristics, behaviors and mannerisms were recorded. These were very apparent in the interviewing process. Some, but not all are listed as follows, 1) When the aliens were offended by something they were asked, they all turned around as if to ignore the question

The future is here. Hear me out, you might like the idea and I concede that I refused to acknowledge it for a long time. However, at some point I had to be honest – there will be a need for a universal basic income for people in the United States. We can ensure that our workers will have an income, and get rid of poverty. Now, who does not want to be a part of that? Our country will have to think about its future more seriously. Imagine this – a large portion of our service jobs will be replaced

It was a beautiful, warm sunny morning with clear skies all throughout the landscape. I was driving home in the direction of the crisp, warm sun listening to my favorite song that had just aired on the radio. From a far, I could see a tall, bulky electric power pole practically split into two and completely bent backward with sparks bursting out of the transformer as though it was fireworks on a Forth-of-July. As I drove within closer proximity, I saw a large truck that appeared to have

thought experiment as an example in his reasoning to establish his justification. Furthermore the experiment is proposed to disprove “philosophical position” that Searle called “strong AI (Artificial Intelligence).” Searle’s “thought experiment” starts with this theoretical proposition: assume that “artificial intelligence” has been successful in developing a computer that carries on as though it comprehends Chinese. It takes Chinese characters as data by following a guideline of a computer programs
