A Discourse on AI and Society: Your calculus may be greater than his calculus But will it pass the Sullenberger Hudson River test?

My Agent Will Call Your Agent... But Will It Respond?

As Web based E-commerce and component software become more real, interest in software agents has increased. Agents can be viewed as specialized distributed components, offering greater flexibility than traditional components when developing certain applications. Different kinds of agents have different amounts of personality, mobility, interaction, collaboration, persistence and intelligence. T...

the relationship between eq, iq and test format: a study on test fairness

the major aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between iq, eq and test format in the light of test fairness considerations. this study took this relationship into account to see if people with different eq and iq performed differently on different test formats. to this end, 90 advanced learners of english form college of ferdowsi university of mashhad were chosen. they were ask...

Non-deterministic Lazy It -calculus Vs It -caculus Non-deterministic Lazy -calculus Vs -calculus

We pursue the study of the embedding of the-calculus into the-calculus. Various lambda calculi with parallel and convergence testing facilities are examined and their expressiveness compared; j-a lazy calculus augmented with a non-deterministic choice operator and a convergence testing combinator, emerges as a suitable language to be encoded in. Through the use of closures for variables and abs...

Domestic radon risks may be dominated by bystander effects--but the risks are unlikely to be greater than we thought.

Radon risks derive from exposure of bronchio-epithelial cells to alpha particles. Alpha-particle exposure can result in bystander effects when irradiated cells emit signals resulting in damage to nearby unirradiated bystander cells. Bystander effects can cause downwardly-curving dose-response relations and inverse dose-rate effects. We have extended a quantitative mechanistic model of bystander...
