GC: n CT: Our third and final viewpoint on artificial life reveals some deep connections between biology and computer science, and again relies on some key insights from Alan Turing. Research in molecular biology has revealed extraordinarily complex networks of biochemical interactions in living cells. As the details of such

GC: n CT: A computer virus, much like a flu virus, is designed to spread from host to host and has the ability to replicate itself. Similarly, in the same way that viruses cannot reproduce without a host cell, computer viruses cannot reproduce and spread without programming such as a

GC: n CT: Olives and olive oil are a tiny part of the biomass produced through the “olive process”. The remainder is made up of vegetable water and olive pomace, which are considered by-products of olive oil processing. These by-products, vegetable water (VW) particularly, cause serious environmental problems (river and

GC: n CT: When the jet is properly directed, there is a strong cross flow at the nose that controls the direction of velocity of approach to the slot. With adequate cross velocity at the nose the jet is directed into the pool and the flow remains stable, if not

CG: n CT: The drilling equipment is normally installed on a truck and needs therefore a minimum free space for installation. These tasks and the entire installation work will be clarified and done by the drilling company. After drilling the vertical collector has to be filled with water before the

GC: n CT: The recent progress in Machine Learning that have made possible the rise of Virtual Personal Assistant, come from a specific approach to Machine Learning: Neural Networks and more specifically Deep Learning Neural Networks. Indeed, these new approach benefit the many different tasks which are at the core

GC: n CT: The definition of virtual reality comes, naturally, from the definitions for both ‘virtual’ and ‘reality’. The definition of ‘virtual’ is near and reality is what we experience as human beings. So the term ‘virtual reality’ basically means ‘near-reality’. This could, of course, mean anything but it usually

GC: n CT: Geothermal has an even longer history in Iceland, where legend has it that people first used geothermal heat 1,000 years ago to warm their homes and bathed in the hot water. But it wasn’t until the first oil-price shock of the 1970s that Iceland used geothermal heat

GC: n CT: Individuals have been electrocuted by appliances using ordinary house currents of 110 volts and by electrical apparatus in industry using as little as 42 volts direct current. The real measure of a shock’s intensity lies in the amount of current (amperes) forced though the body and not

GC: n CT: Voltage is electric potential energy per unit charge, measured in joules per coulomb ( = volts). It is often referred to as “electric potential”, which then must be distinguished from electric potential energy by noting that the “potential” is a “per-unit-charge” quantity. Like mechanical potential energy, the

GC: n CT: WEATHER systems, as the world has recently been reminded, have awesome power. The energy released by a large hurricane can exceed the energy consumption of the human race for a whole year, and even an average tornado has a power similar to that of a large power
