In the present study, first systematic performance evaluation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) products retrieved using two satellite sensors i.e., Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) and Aqua-Moderate-Resolution Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is carried out over India. We have used ground-based AOD from AERONET at 550 nm wavelength for inter-comparison with MODIS Aqua version C6.1 (C061...

Participants discussed the signii-cance and ramiications of the recent chess matches for the science of artiicial intelligence. On the one hand, the workshop fostered a serious discussion of the issues related to the nature and possibility of intelligence, using Kasparov vs. Deep Blue as the context for this discussion. On the other hand, the workshop was intended to be an opportunity for the c...

Using data collected from 62 coastal stations worldwide from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) from 2002-2011, accuracy assessments are made for coastal aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieved from MODIS aboard the Aqua satellite. It is found that coastal AODs (at 550 nm) characterized respectively by the MODIS Dark Land (Land) surface algorithm, the Open Ocean (Ocean) algorithm, and AERONET ...

is misidentified as “Andreas Nowatzyk”, someone whom Newborn obviously did not know or take the time to find out about. Also, while the material presented by Newborn is sound as far as it goes, it is very slanted toward technical mishaps and other irrelevant trivia when he could have presented games that show the gradual growth of playing strength. It is significant that a coterie of computer c...

Can a machine beat the human World Chess Champion in a match? This question had been around even before the existence of electronic computers, and the problem of creating such a computer had been one of the toughest problem in computer science. In 1996, Deep Blue proved that computers can beat the human World Chess Champion in a single game, and in May 1997, Deep Blue finally proved that comput...
