A discussion on how artificial machines with natural intelligence would be safe or not is made based on scientific, philosophical and theological arguments. The finite or infinite nature of the universe is discussed and the implications analyzed. The concepts of destiny and free will are considered, with implications on what it would mean to create an artificial consciousness and how it would be possible to give it or deny it its free will. Computer experiments are carried out based on cellular ...

In this paper an Enhanced Bean Optimization Algorithm (EBA) is used to solve optimal reactive power problem. Stimulated by the diffusion of beans in nature, a novel swarm intelligence algorithm-Bean Optimization Algorithm (BOA) has been projected previously. In the domain of incessant optimization problems solving, Bean Optimization Algorithm has exposed a first-class performance. In this paper, an Enhanced Bean Optimization Algorithm is presented for solving optimal reactive power problem. In t...

It is generally accepted that dark matter must be found throughout galaxies. The observed motion of stars demands that galaxies contain large amounts of dark matter distributed throughout according to a particular density function. However, it is argued in this paper that this assumed density function should apply to all matter in the galaxy, not just dark matter. This paper reasons that in a region where a strong concentration of visible matter is observed, an absence of dark matter ought to be...

Background: The serum biochemical indexes are classic detection in clinical practice. Methods: In this study, for avoiding the risks of serious complications, high-cost in diagnosis of suspected coronary heart disease (CHD), the common biochemical indexes were detected from 68 eligible patients with suspected CHD. Treadmill exercises test (TET)-electrocardiogram (ECG) was measured during TET, and invasive examination of coronary angiography (CAG, golden standard for CHD diagnosis) was also perfo...

A new variational method has been proposed for studying the equilibrium states of the interacting particle system to have been statistically described by using the density matrix. This method is used for describing conductivity electrons and their behavior in metals. The electron energy has been expressed by means of the density matrix. The interaction energy of two ε_kk′ electrons dependent on their wave vectors k and k’ has been found. Ene...

A new model for the nucleosome is presented. The histone octamer core is unchanged, but the location of the DNA is different. Since the highest number, and highest concentration of positively- charged amino acid residues is located not in the “superhelical ramp” of the octamer core, but rather in the domain of the eight histone subunit N-termini collectively, the DNA is therefore placed there. The role models for the protein and DNA structures in the N-terminal domain are taken from the comparab...

Dunhuang medical examination paper contains about 1100 ancient prescriptions. From the ancient prescriptions of literature research, experimental study and clinical study summarized from three aspects, this article gets a conclusion: of Dunhuang ancient prescriptions dose research rarely, the formulas of TCM side cannot pass the secret lies in the dosage, so Dunhuang ancient prescriptions dose is worth of further clinical research.

One of the important parameters that affects the performance of a solar collector is its tilt angle with the horizon. This is because the variation of tilt angle changes the amount of solar radiation reaching the collector surface. Meanwhile, is the rule of thumb, which says that solar collector should be orientated towards the Equator with a tilt equal to latitude, valid for high latitudes region? Thus, it is required to determine the optimum tilt for Equator facing collectors. In addition, the...

Rotaviruses and adenoviruses conjointly form the leading cause of epidemic gastroenteritis in developed and developing countries. The prevalence of this array of human viral pathogens in under five years children of Dustin-ma Local Government Area of Katsina State, North-west Nigeria was investigated on diarrheal stool samples of 152 patients of acute viral gastroenteritis by Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) as approved by the state committee on ethics after parental agre...

In this study on bean, four wild types were compared with the edible for their functional and nutritional characteristics in unprocessed and malted form. Results obtained in functional properties showed that bulk density was higher in wild types compared to edibles types. Feregede has the least dispersibility compared to all the bean samples. The swelling power of all the wild and edible types was almost the same with the edible bean IT845-2246-4 having the highest value of 26.15 ±...
