spectroscopy to evaluate light absorption in different solutions. A spectrophotometer was used in the lab to determine these values. A spectrophotometer is an apparatus used to “measure the absorption of radiation in the visible and UV regions of the spectrum and allows precise at a particular wave length” (Jones et al.‚ 2007). The amount of light absorbed by a substance is directly in relation to the concentration of the solute and also the wavelength moving through the solute (Jones et al.‚ 2007). This

refracted through a prism‚ different colors of the visible light spectrum were visible. Herschel hypothesized that each one of the colors contained a different temperature. When he measured each separate color‚ he discovered that each one had a different temperature. Herschell also discovered that the temperatures increased from the violet to the red part of the color spectrum. He also discovered that when he went above the red spectrum‚ a color not visible to the human eye‚ that the temperature increased

AI FOR COGNINITIVE RADIO Abstract: Cognitive radio (CR) is an enabling technology for numerous new capabilities such as spectrum access‚ spectrum sensing‚ spectrum decision‚ spectrum sharing and self organizing networks. This paper reviews several AI techniques used in cognitive radios such as : artificial neural network (ANN)‚ hidden Markov models (HMMs)‚ metahueristic algorithms‚ these techniques are proposed to provide the cognition capability in a cognitive engine. The modern

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASDs) Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social‚ communication and behavioral challenges. People with ASDs handle information in their brain differently than other people. ASDs are "spectrum disorders." That means ASDs affect each person in different ways‚ and can range from very mild to severe. People with ASDs share some similar symptoms‚ such as problems with social interaction. But there are differences
