Ausgehend von Thomas Nagels Aufsatz " What is it like to be a bat? " und Alan Turings Aufsatz " Computing machinery and intelligence " wird argumentiert, das eine erfolgreiche Interaktion von Menschen und autonomen artifiziellen Agenten vor allem darauf beruht, welche Eigenschaften Menschen jenen Agenten zuschreiben und nicht so sehr, ob diese Agenten jene Eigenschaften wirklich besitzen. Diese...

Alan Turing begins his 1950 Mind article, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” with the following straightforward pronouncement: “I propose to consider the question ‘Can machines think?’ ” He quickly (too quickly?) argues for “replacing” the original question with another “which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.” (Please note the vagueness of the clai...

This paper outlines the iterative stages involved in designing and developing a blended course of English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP) at Osaka University. First, the basic Successive Approximation Model (SAM 1) is introduced as the guiding instructional design model upon which the course was created. Afterward, the stages of design and development of the blended course are explained wi...

An ideal brake lining, which provides uniform and stable friction under all the operating conditions without any fade. The significance of material in handling earth moving machinery, commonly used earlier contained asbestos as base mainly because its property to resist deformation action heat generated due friction. This review focuses on analysis lining other materials for band application. m...
