Artificial turf

to describe a group in movement. Picture a swarm of bees flying together. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. (Wikipedia) Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior of decentralized, self -organized systems, natural or artificial. (Wikipedia) When I think of swarm intelligence “the no I in team” saying comes to mind. Basically, you can get more done working together than you can get done on your own. Nature shows us a great example, the honey bee. In Debbie…

Abstract:The objective of the project is to diagnose a child with learning disability and provide appropriate study material. The model will first classify a child as learning disabled or non- learning disabled based on certain assessment parameters. Once diagnosed with learning disability, the child is further classified into different types of learning disability like dyslexia, dysgraphia,dyscalculia and dysphasia. The model not only detects the type but also will identify the level of…

Searle’s Chinese Room Argument was first published in 1980 as an experiment where John Searle attempted to prove certain relationships and differences between artificial intelligence and the human brain. I’m going to argue that the explanations for his argument are inconclusive. John Searle’s Chinese Room argument was an experiment where Searle locked himself in a room and was fed slips of paper under the door in three stages. The first stage is called “a script”. In the first stage John is…

Functionalism is one of the most recent theories of mind, and as such, it has been a target of much criticism. While it is certain that functionalism is a theory that contains a number of flaws as a result of its contemporary nature, it is apparent that a lot of the criticisms it has received are misguided. The modern theory of functionalism proposes that mental states of humans should be identified by the function that those mental states sever rather than the material composition. To…

Fate: Sealed yet Alterable It is human nature to crave knowledge. People cannot help it, and oftentimes it is a favorable quality. Awareness should be desirable, right? Sometimes. But when dealing with fate, awareness can only hurt individuals, as shown in both Oedipus Rex and Minority Report. Both movie and play clearly illustrate that when a person tries to change their own destiny, they only end up bringing themselves closer to it. They also show how attempting to alter another’s destiny…

mode of thinking. For example, traditional knowledge usually appears in books and magazines as a constant. However, the database from AI is fixable, renewable, and extensible. Another example, once people begin to trust the decisions that made by artificial intelligence, they become lazy and no longer want to do a lot of thinking. The students who rely on the calculators too much are losing initiative thinking ability and calculative ability. Psychological Threat People think they are different…

there are numerous methods of predicting the mechanical properties of concrete, not all of them are valuable since they are in accordance with many trial and errors. As mentioned earlier, three different models of multiple linear regressing (MLR), artificial neural network (ANN), and ANFIS are used to reach the goal in this study. These models are defined comprehensively in the following sections. 3.1. Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLR) Generally, regression models can be considered as…

Natural systems are the most efficient, yet more complex to implement or imitate these systems in digital world. As a child, i was fascinated with the different technology around me. But in my college i realize how these technologies are actually inspired from the natural models. The digital world interacts with the real world by using different sensors which in turn similar to the way human being interact with the external environment. Image processing which is inspired by human visual system,…

Mechanical heart valves provide their greatest benefit by replacing a fatigued natural valve with a prosthesis that was specifically engineered for the variety of patients who experience heart valve disease, thus relieving the patient of most associated conditions and improving their quality of life. However, throughout the last half century there have been many cases of structural failure and induced conditions such as thrombosis due to the materials used in these devices. Through the many case…

The Edwards SAPIEN heart valve is a collapsible aortic heart valve that can be introduced into the body via a catheter-based delivery system. The valve is designed to replace a patient’s diseased aortic valve without traditional open-heart surgery and while the heart continues to beat. The valve can be implanted in patients using the fransfemoral technique meaning delivered thorough the femoral artery or trans-apical technique meaning delivered via a small incision between the ribs. Prior to…
