The history of artificial intelligence (AI) began in antiquity‚ with myths‚ stories and rumors of artificial beings endowed with intelligence or consciousness by master craftsmen; as Pamela McCorduck writes‚ AI began with "an ancient wish to forge the gods."[1] The seeds of modern AI were

organ replacement: xenotransplantation and artificial organ replacement; the latter of the two types consists of either synthetic or natural materials. However‚ because xenotransplantation poses many health risks‚ artificial organs provide a more sensible‚ disease-free approach to organ replacement. Thus‚ efforts of scientists and engineers should be directed toward furthering the development of artificial and bioartificial organs and materials. Artificial organs are synthetic devices that replace

Preface Artificial intelligence is about natural information processing systems as well as artificial systems‚ and not just about how they perceive‚ learn and think‚ but also about what they want and how they feel. It has already had a profound impact on the study of human minds. The concept of artificial intelligence began with an ambitious research agenda that was to make machines with some of the traits we value most highly in ourselves: the ability to reason‚ problem solving capacity‚ creativity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the human-like intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is also an academic field of study. Major AI researchers and textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents"‚[1] where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.[2] John McCarthy‚ who coined the term in 1955‚[3] defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".[4] AI research

Artificial intelligence First‚ for more than 20 years‚ computers have been an important part among classmates and children‚ which made schools and universities more flexible by for example virtual classes online. The major difference between traditional and virtual universities or schools is that all children‚ students‚ teachers and knowledge are connected as a bit of information. In the future the process of teaching will take place with no desks and classrooms but through the internet.

Many schools and parks have moved to artificial turf claiming benefits for maintenance costs and aesthetics but have ignored other important factors when choosing a playing surface. Natural grass provides a safer play surface and is better for the environment than artificial turf. Injuries are more common on artificial turf‚ especially concussion‚ heat related and joint stress issues. (Meyers M‚ 2004.)Surface hardness is an important factor in head injuries caused by playing surface contact. (Penn

Abstract: Having study natural selection and artificial selection we wanted to select for a trait on the plant Brassica rapa. We hypothesized that the leaf density is heritable and veritable. After our experiment we were able to conclude that our hypothesis was refuted because our average leaf density in our daughter population increased. Introduction: We are artificially selecting for a trait in the plant Brassica rapa. ( Wisconsin Fast Plant). Brassica rapa has been artificially selected
