Extractions: This third volume of the book series Lessons In Electric Circuits makes a departure from the former two in that the transition between electric circuits and electronic circuits is formally crossed. Electric circuits are connections of conductive wires and other devices whereby the uniform flow of electrons occurs. Electronic circuits add a new dimension to electric circuits in that some means of control is exerted over the flow of electrons by another electrical signal, either a voltage or a current. In and of itself, the control of electron flow is nothing new to the student of electric circuits. Switches control the flow of electrons, as do potentiometers, especially when connected as variable resistors (rheostats). Neither the switch nor the potentiometer should be new to your experience by this point in your study. The threshold marking the transition from electric to electronic, then, is defined by how the flow of electrons is controlled rather than whether or not any form of control exists in a circuit. Switches and rheostats control the flow of electrons according to the positioning of a mechanical device, which is actuated by some physical force external to the circuit. In electronics, however, we are dealing with special devices able to control the flow of electrons according to another flow of electrons, or by the application of a static voltage. In other words, in an electronic circuit

I believe that if his argument were conclusive, its destructive effect would be even stronger. It would not only refute mental-state utilitarianism, but all theories (whether utilitarian or not) considering a certain subjective mental state (happiness, pleasure, desire, satisfaction) as the only valuable state. I shall call these theories "mental state welfarist theories." I do not know whether utilitarianism or, in general, mental-state welfarism is plausible, but I doubt that Nozick's argument is strong enough to prove that it is not.

Extractions: A Turing machine which, by appropriate programming using a finite length of input tape, can act as any Turing machine whatsoever. In his seminal paper, Turing himself gave the first construction for a universal Turing machine (Turing 1937, 1938). Shannon (1956) showed that two colors were sufficient, so long as enough states were used. Minsky (1962) discovered a 7-state 4-color universal Turing machine, illustrated above (Wolfram 2002, p. 706). Note that the 20th rule specifies that the Turing machine should halt, as indicated by leaving the head stationary and not changing its state. Upon conversion to a 2-color machine, Minsky's universal Turing machine requires 43 states. Comparatively little more was published about small universal Turing machines until Rogozhin (1996) found examples with the numbers ( m, n

Extractions: Weekly Herbicide Applications Prove Beneficial in Forest Nurseries Blake, J.I and D.B. South. 1987. Weekly herbicide applications prove beneficial in forest nurseries. Ala. Agr. Exp. Sta. Highlights Agr. Res. 34(2):12. Over the last 15 years, advances in weed control in Southern forest nurseries have resulted largely from federal labeling of new herbicides tested by the Auburn University Southern Forest Nursery Management Cooperative. The most effective chemicals tested (the diphenylether group) all have similar chemical properties. Currently, the most commonly used is oxyfluorfen, sold by the trade name Goal® 2 EC. Recent research conducted at the Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station has demonstrated that dramatic improvements in weed control can be obtained from Goal® by changing the frequency of application. Preemergence treatments with herbicides provide a large fraction of the total season weed control. However, regular postemergence applications are needed because the chemical barrier breaks down under conditions of heavy irrigation and rainfall. In addition, some weed species are highly tolerant to preemergence applications. Although most of the compounds in the diphenylether family do not translocate well within the plant, good contact activity on otherwise difficult to control weeds can be obtained with postemergence applications. Currently some of the most difficult weeds to control in Southern forest nurseries are yellow and purple nutsedge and spurges. In general, pine seedlings are not tolerant to most herbicides which are used to control these weeds in agronomic crops. Because of the high value of pine seedling crops in the South ($18,000 to $25,000 per acre), nearly weed free conditions are required to obtain maximum economic yield. Therefore, there has been a need to continue expensive hand weeding operations.

Extractions: Course description: This course will focus on theoretical aspects of machine learning. We will examine questions such as: What kinds of guarantees can one prove about learning algorithms? What are good algorithms for achieving certain types of goals? Can we devise models that are both amenable to mathematical analysis and make sense empirically? What can we say about the inherent ease or difficulty of learning problems? Addressing these questions will require pulling in notions and ideas from statistics, complexity theory, cryptography, game theory, and empirical machine learning research.

Extractions: ISSN 0167-7799 Compared to conventional technologies, many natural molecular machines systems display enormous abilities. Molecular machinery in green plants converts more energy and synthesizes a greater tonnage of organic compounds than does the chemical industry, and does so cleanly using cheap raw materials. With a megabyte or so per genome, the digital storage capacity of the millions of bacteria in the dirt on a typical computer far exceeds that of the advertised components. While we spend billions of dollars on dense digital storage systems, nature places far denser systems in the same boxes free of charge, but unintended and unusable. From megaton-per-year product streams to megabyte-per-cubic-micron storage systems, natural molecular machinery has outperformed anything we now know how to build. Perhaps, then, we should learn to build molecular machine systems of our own design, aiming to make a wider range of products, including computer components that we can actually use. This is the first in a series of articles organized around the theme of nanotechnology. Other authors will describe a range of micro- and nanoscale systems some useful today, others demonstrating components and techniques with promise for the future. This article outlines how these trends can build toward a molecular machine technology delivering (and even exceeding) the technological promise demonstrated by the molecular machinery of nature.
Extractions: Independent Tests Prove Bell Labs Technology Gives Lucent's Digital Answering Machine Best Voice Quality MURRAY HILL, N. J. (Aug. 19, 1997) Independent consumer tests show that Lucent's latest digital answering machines have the best voice quality among top competitors. When consumers were asked to rank leading digital answering machines based on the sound quality of recorded messages, the Lucent Digital Answering Machine 1725 was ranked number one five times as often as the nearest competing product. In tests conducted at an independent lab, the Lucent device received the highest scores for sound quality of both the outgoing recorded announcement and incoming messages average ratings of "good" or "excellent" from 75 percent of the consumers. On June 17 Lucent Technologies and Philips Electronics announced that they would create a joint venture of the consumer communications units of the two companies by October 1. Philips is the market leader in telephone sales in Europe, and Lucent is number one in the United States. The joint venture, to be called Philips Consumer Communications, will have revenues of about US $2.5 billion. As part of a continuing, cooperative relationship, Bell Laboratories designers have shared the new technology with their counterparts at Philips Consumer Communications. It is likely that the joint venture will use this technology in its future digital answering machines.

Extractions: by Ian Allen (Click here for an overview of this article) In 1859, Charles Darwin published Origin of Species, the first comprehensive outline of the theory of evolution. The concept was revolutionary because it implied that the living world around us might have come to be without the guiding hand of some master-designer. Prior to Darwin, Nature had seemed so well balanced, with every creature so perfectly suited to its environment, that the only possible explanation was that it was all the work of a supreme intelligence. And as the most intelligent creature in creation, humans somehow had a very special place in the scheme of things. Darwin's concept of evolution by natural selection was a very big idea. That's why even now, in spite of 140 years of intensive scientific scrutiny which still hasn't found a hole in it, many people still refer to evolution as "only a theory". Darwinian evolution has always posed a challenge to our philosophical and theological thinking, but aside from that it also implies ideas which are quite counter-intuitive to common sense. How can something come from nothing? How can something mindless, no matter how much time it has, create something as sophisticated and intelligent as a human being? This last question is probably the core of the objection to Darwin. Human beings seem to regard their intelligence as the crown jewel which sets their species apart from all others. Any suggestion that we didn't "earn" our place at the top of the pecking order, but arrived here by luck in some lottery of evolutionary chance is not at all comfortable. It's not only a challenge to our self-esteem as a species, but a dangerous reminder that our existence is intimately connected to the process of life. If Darwin is right, it means that given enough time, anywhere in the Universe, life will evolve an intelligent creature - and in the Earth's case, that creature just happened to be us.

Savarese July 2003 Issue P Logic programming , based on resolving relations, simplifies the writing of programs that simulate reasoning through deduction. We'll examine how to implement the basics of logic programming in Java. ADVERTISEMENT I cannot think of a programming language that is pure in the sense that it conforms to only the computational model upon which it is based. For example, Common Lisp, a functional programming language, incorporates all of the traditional imperative language features as well as an object-oriented layer. Prolog probably comes closest to a pure language, being the progenitor of logic programming. Still, it includes impurities that deviate from the concept of eliciting computation by resolving the variables in a goal clause. Prolog's strength lies in its language-intrinsic ability to define rules and resolve queries based on those rules. Implementing some of Prolog's functionality in Java requires that we first study the principles of logic programming.
Extractions: Useful for Two Companies If only product development were as easy as coming up with the idea. Everyone at some point has come up with an idea for an innovative product that would revolutionize the world, or at least a small part of it. Especially if you work in a manufacturing environment and are constantly creating parts for other companies. The common conception is that the idea is the most difficult part of the creative process, however, anyone who has ever tried to act on one of their inspirations, knows how difficult it can be. It's not enough to simply scribble a rough design on a piece of paper, and hope that someone will be able to actually design and manufacture a rough sketch. Having the right tools to design and manufacture the idea is essential. Steve Ellenburg of Trumark Manufacturing Co. and Bob Barnett of BNB Machine can attest to that. Steve Ellenburg is the owner and product designer for Trumark Manufacturing Co. (Boulder, CO). The family owned and operated business began 43 years ago, with a very simple objective in mind, to develop a product that would enable two young boys to protect themselves from bullies with snowballs. The solution was a powerful slingshot that would enable the boys, one of which was Steve, to shoot snowballs long distances.
