Pitch: This article is written to inform the reader of the issues pose by crown of thorns starfish on coral reefs. The target audience is the general public who may view coral reefs as a tourist destination. There is a need to warn about crown of thorns as research shows that it causes more destruction to corals reefs than bleaching or other disturbances. More details on how these starfish population boomed are given in the article‚ revealing both natural and anthropogenic factors. The article however

Effects of Sand Mining on Palau’s Reefs Joshua Kloulubak SC-249: Environmental Concepts & Issues Instructor Sherry Ngirmeriil 21 July 2013 Abstract What are the negative effects sand mining has on Palau’s reefs? This research paper attempts to address the consequences of dredging erratically in the quest for modernization and what these threats can pose to the society should this continue in an unsustainable manner. Over the years‚ the ocean and reefs of Palau have been an important source

Artificial intelligence and the advancement in robotics are some of the world ’s leading scientific studies‚ including how the advancement will affect the world‚ how one would handle living with an advanced robotic world‚ and how scientists will create these machines. Any appliance or machine made to [simulate a human task] falls under the category of artificial intelligence. From a [Blackberry] to a robot that can perform the daily tasks of a human‚ artificial intelligence is widespread. Artificial

Using the book “Artificial Intelligence: The Very Idea”‚ by John Haugeland‚ I have learned the meaning of artificial intelligence truly and how it integrates in the real world. In this paper I will be discussing important sections of my chosen reading‚ followed by a more detailed explanation on the history of artificial intelligence‚ and concluding with a more practical use of artificial intelligence by means of cryptography. Firstly‚ this paper examines artificial intelligence and its links with

Barrier Reef’s Future? The Great Barrier Reef is the home of some of the most varied ecosystems and naturally productive habitats. The Great Barrier Reef is the largest group of coral in the world with more than 2‚900 separate reef spanning or 1‚600 miles. The Great Barrier Reef is known as the largest living organism in the world. The barrier reef includes coral polyps‚ sponge beds‚ mangrove forests‚ and sea grass. The balanced eco system of the Great Barrier Reef is one that is very sensitive to even

Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence Growing up‚ I watched and enjoyed movies such as Short Circuit‚ Space Camp‚ and the Terminator. There would be no doubt in my mind that we as humans would be able to create artificial intelligence. I figured it was a no brainer as a watched the robots on the big screen think and make decisions on their own without any human input. Later on‚ as an adult you begin to realize that movies are fiction and it would take a very intelligent human to create

Allocation of Artificial and Transplantable Organs Everyday many Americans and others across the world are in need of artificial organs‚ which is are man-made devices that are implanted into a person to replace their own natural organ and to perform the same functions as that natural organ would. The ability of this to succeed has been one of the biggest achievements in medicine and still continues to save the lives of people everywhere. However‚ this subject also brings up a lot of controversy

A “New Hope” for Artificial Intelligence Automation ethics and robotics rights are becoming issues in the artificial intelligence arena with the preponderance of research being essentially hypothetical. Regrettably the professed abundance of research in cognitive technology safety is misleading and offers a foretaste that is capitalized by the entertainment industry. Hollywood hotshots provide a distraction from our monotonous life with fantasy diversion with the likes of Back to the Future trilogy

PAPER ON ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS ABSTRACT The developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) appear promising‚ but when applied to real world intelligent task such as in speech‚ vision and natural language processing‚ the AI techniques show their inadequacies and ‘brittleness’ in the sense that they become highly task specific. The computing models inspired by biological neural networks can provide new directions to solve problems arising in natural tasks.
