2 INTELLIGENT AGENTS In which we discuss what an intelligent agent does‚ how it is related to its environment‚ how it is evaluated‚ and how we might go about building one. 2.1 INTRODUCTION An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through effectors. A human agent has eyes‚ ears‚ and other organs for sensors‚ and hands‚ legs‚ mouth‚ and other body parts for effectors. A robotic agent substitutes cameras and infrared

Measuring haemodynamic variables using different techniques and examining the effects of diving reflex‚ isometric muscle contraction and psychological stress on these variables. Introduction Haemodynamics is the study of factors that determine the movement of blood (Widmaier et al‚ 2011). The main haemodynamic factors are heart rate and blood pressure. Heart rate is defined as the number of times the heart contracts per minute. Normal resting heart rate in adults ranges between 60 – 100 beats

org/cgi/reprint/6/4/17 Introduction: Daniels‚ McAdam‚ Brailey‚ and Foundas (1997) reviewed literature from Linden‚ Kuhlemeier‚ and Patterson (1993) and examined signs of aspiration‚ but specifically six risk factors‚ including dysphonia‚ dysarthria‚ abnormal gag reflex‚ abnormal volitional cough‚ voice change after swallow‚ and cough after swallow. They then designed their study in an attempt to link the six signs of aspiration to the diagnosis and severity of dysphagia. The purpose of the study was to determine

| Bed Wetting: Boys vs. Girls | | | Shaquenta Ruffin | 6/14/2013 | | Like chalk and cheese‚ boys and girls are different in so many ways and bedwetting is no different. Nocturnal bedwetting affects twice as many boys as girls. Experts are not exactly sure why but there have been medical studies done which suggest that girls tend to develop bladder control before boys. Dr. Michael Ritchey‚ a Pediatric urologist‚ agrees and says this could be attributed to the fact that the pressure

Observations‚ Report and Conclusion: A. Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the posture of an individual‚ enabling him to maintain body balance

Stimulation of superficial capillaries and arterioles cause local hyperemia and reflex vasodilatation.29 The hyperemia is due to response of the skin to its function of heat regulation. The effects of vasodilatation in the muscle are negligible‚ but then may be some reflex heating in the joints. Exercise after the wax is essential to increase the muscle circulation and sedative effect of heat to obtain more range of movement

due to the sinuses being a drainage area for the nasal passages. B) What is the cough reflex? Describe the process that Cari’s respiratory system is using to clear her lungs by coughing. The cough reflex is used to clear sputum and irritants that are in the nasal passages and pharynx. There are cilia in her trachea that is moving mucus up from the lungs. When the mucus becomes abundant it triggers the cough reflex. C) Which structures found in the terminal bronchioles and alveoli normally would protect
