...system during a stressful situation? Whether stress is physical or emotional, the ancient “fight or flight” response is triggered. Physiologically, this can lead to the stress-related diseases which are getting more common in the West, so track 3 looks at the Eastern tradition of yoga, which recognises that controlling the breath is key to retaining health of mind as...

...system that gives cows control over when they are milked, and allows him to remotely monitor the welfare of individual animals. Daniel Rozin has created an computer operated mirror made from 835 tilting wooden tiles. With the help of a digital camera and a computer programme, the wooden tiles mimic the digital pixel information and tilt themselves into a ‘reflection’....

...systems to fabricate machines that will destroy cancer cells in the body, giving us nano-drugs of the future; and IBM is using nano-technology for information storage on a molecular scale. There are many other applications which will have a significant impact on the way we live. This album also provides an introduction to quantum computing and quantum mechanics. The...

...systems-wise, networks of neurons have been the focus of simulation for over 25 years, starting with John Joseph Hopfield’s artificial neural networks (ANNs) in 1982. From that basis, and with many technological revisions, papers in Expert Systems currently present excellent results with ANNs based on a few hundred neurons. But it is still a long way from getting a...

...system makes decisions based on what it learns from past mistakes and data trends. In Machine learning (ML), a centralised model learns to perform by training on a single dataset. So, each record, data distribution, and raw data is accessible to the model. Contrary to this setup, federated learning (FL) provides a way to distribute the learning process of AI systems...

...system responds. Although tiny, viruses are complex, diverse entities that have the capacity to infect hosts, replicate themselves and then spread to additional hosts. In addition, viruses can sometimes transfer between host species, or they can mutate and re-infect the original host species. What is a virus? Viruses are microscopic packages of genetic information (DNA or...

...system is organised, the device in the case of a software controller, or the internet for a web application. The recognised need in Rogers’ definition relates to the problems the software is meant to solve – what we commonly capture as requirements in software development. These problems are the reason why the software should exist, and express how software should...
