Robot in Society: Friend or Appliance? Massachusetts Institute of Technology Arti_cial Intelligence Laboratory 545 Technology Square‚ Room 938 Cambridge‚ MA 02139 USA email: cynthia@ai.mit.edu Abstract This paper discusses the role that synthetic emotions could play in building autonomous robots which engage people in human-style social exchange. We present a control architecture which integrates synthetic emotions and highlight how they influence the internal dynamics of the robot ’s

1. Briefly explain how does the body maintain homeostasis? Homeostasis is a existence and maintenance of a relatively constant internal environment. Homeostasis is maintain by negative and positive feedback mechanism. Most homeostatic control mechanisms are negative feedback mechanisms. In these system‚ the output shut off the original stimulus or reduce its intensity. These mechanisms cause the variable to change in a direction opposite to that of the initial change‚ returning it to its “ideal”

Abstract The makers of sports drinks spend millions of dollars advertising the benefits of their products. One of these featured benefits is often electrolytes‚ which your body loses as you sweat. In this chemistry science fair project‚ you will compare the electrolytes present in a sports drink with those in orange juice to find out which drink has more to replace the ones you lose as you’re working out or playing sports. When you are finished‚ you might even want to make your own sports drink

The families have been able to adapt to their situation and have created a homeostatic family system‚ but practitioners need to be competent in acknowledging that by a system being in a steady state‚ it does not necessarily mean it’s a positive state. According to Beresford‚ 1998‚ families continue to remain vulnerable despite finding

normal. Blood pressure can be lowered by the actions of artrial natriutretic peptide (ANP) hormone. Atrial natrriuretic hormones are a protein and a vasodilator‚ which is released by heart muscle cells. The hormone is involved in maintaining the homeostatic control of water and sodium a constant. Cells in the atrial chamber of the heart release Atrial natriuretic when the body senses high blood pressure. The hormone acts to lower blood pressure by reducing the water and sodium levels in the circulatory

Serum creatinine concentration shows a relationship with GFR‚ making it specific‚ but not a sensitive measure of GFR. The creatinine pool is influenced by nutritional state‚ hepatic disease gender‚ ethnicity‚ protein intake‚ and age (Slack et al.‚ 2010). In liver cirrhosis‚ the decrease in serum creatinine is due to a 50% reduction in hepatic production of creatine; increases in volume of distribution due to accumulation of extracellular fluid‚ ascites‚ edema‚ loss of muscle mass and malnutrition
