Web silks from spiders may hold the key on how to repair human bones, according to the researchers at the University of California San Diego and the University of Texas. The study also discovered a specific gene that may initiate biomineralization in human stem cells. Initiating biomineralization can activate bone formation which leads to bone regeneration or osteoregeneration. Biomineralization is a biological process which allows an organism to produce minerals. These minerals are often used…

are also hindered by its processing power. A simulation was done on a mouse’s brain, and it required the world’s fastest computer simulated only half a brain. A more recent computer simulation was done on human brain activity using the latest supercomputer, K, in Japan. According to the Independent, “It took the K computer, with over 700,000 processor cores and 1.4 million GB of RAM, 40 minutes to model the data.” (Zachary, 2014) To give you an idea of how powerful the K…

the neuroscientist, Antonio Damasio, is a necessary and very evident factor in the human thought process; and, lastly, the energy and computational power required to emulate one second of human thought was achieved by pushing the fourth largest supercomputer in the world to its limits. Overall, the capability of Artificial Intelligence to think like a human is determined by humans, so the loss of security of being more intelligent will result in a very apparent bias regarding the degree of…

Bible codes are words hidden inside other words, to reveal a greater statement. These codes can range anywhere from a single word or phrase that relates to the work as a whole. The words that are revealed by codes are not random words, but rather ones that relate directly to either that section of text or the entire work. For example, in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers and Deuteronomy every fiftieth letter spells out “Torah” or the law (Bibleprobe, 2014). These codes are found by following an…

2a: My computational artifact represents IBM’s Watson. Watson is a supercomputer created by IBM that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and sophisticated analytical software using cognitive computing for optimal performance as a “question answering” machine [1]. My artifact explains and describes the function of IBM’s Watson; starting with it’s method of computing called cognitive computing. Through my own words, I explain how Watson is not a form of conventional computing that has been used…

computing. Unlike cluster computing however, each of the computers taking part don't have to be of the same make or OS which means that the wider general public can take part. All of the computers are connected via the internet to create a virtual supercomputer. One person can access this system of connected computer power from a singular computer. iii) There are many applications of the grid computing system in Physics and Astronomy, such as wide scale simulations and mapping. With the help…

Marc Andreessen Marc Andreessen lived a fairly normal childhood, except for the fact that he was a computer genius. Andreessen was born to Lowell and Patricia Andreessen in Cedar Falls Iowa on July 9th, 1971. Although he got his computer in 7th grade, he learned the basic programming of a computer at the age of 9 from a library book. Andreessen never had any love of sports. He preferred experimenting with his computer and soon began to design video games when he had free time. He was given an…

Arthur C. Clarke the author of “2001: A Space Odyssey” posits in his book that human evolution comes with consequences. Human evolution is shown to have consequences in “2001: A Space Odyssey” mainly due to the capability to utilize their advancing intelligence. For instance, Hal who was created due to evolved human intelligence malfunctions and kills three humans, and if one computer can do it others could too. Humans, as they evolved started to show discontent for their state of living, and…

This paper is a summary response to Nicholas Carr’s article “Is Google Making Us Stupid? What the Internet is doing to our brains.” Mr. Carr is an author, which gives him firsthand knowledge on the subject of reading and writing. Carr’s main point is that it [the Internet] seems to be interfering with his and others’ ability to read more lengthy papers. He questioned many acquaintances and other literary professionals, receiving their feedback. According to Carr, excessive use of the Internet…
